I really, really need a soporific music tonight . . . tension and stress wears a person out completely, and even the ability to rest is denied as the body begins to wear its uncomfortable fight and flight armour around the clock . . .

So I look for music that is relaxing . .. but not boring because music which merely drones make me even more nervous and anxious . . . yet sleep inducing music should not have too much charm or spectacular visionary aspects . . . it should not capture the imagination or compel the listener to focus on nuances or delightful melodies . . .

It should have a sense of mindlessness . . like the opening elusive dreams of first sleep that are indescribable, while giving the shoulders a feeling of immovable heaviness . . . yet something, deep within the soul, is given leave to fly away . . . like the dove of peace, which we have full confidence will return with good grace in the dewy morning.

The music should be as calming and serene as the gentle breeze off a blue sea . . . it should be soothing with a sense of being surrounded by guardian angels . . . this music should dip and sway like a mother rocking her child . . . and it should flow as a river taking away a cradle . . . securely through the mind's fantasies and transporting into the hidden and inner spaces of nonexistence a release from self-awareness and weariness . . . .

And this album complied with all of that for me . . . pure gold for a woman in need . . . thank you for sharing this natural medicine . . .

These were beautiful, orchestral, classic styled compositions with sweet tender strings . . .music, tempered with a delicate sensation like the lacy, bare, black trees which shiver against a white sky . . . though the nights are long and grim the music inspires us . . . charming away our fears with a tender administration . . a sprinkle of light sparkles on snowy pathways like the music . . . a crystalline touch . . cold with the brush of frost against a cheek . . . the beauty, or the icy cold, snatches away our breath . . . this music, so delicate, presents that beauty transformed from the silence of winter . . . into the celestial sounds of Winter's music . . .

Thank you Van Syla for the recommendation . . .

Oh my goodness, Art . . . I am completely blown away by this album . . How charming and beautiful it is . . . I have NOT heard anything better, or so emotional when it comes to jazz . . . and this is definitely a new favorite of mine, of yours . ..

This is the first time I have seen one of your albums without a story or tale to introduce the theme . . . But these gorgeous pieces will draw a story from the depths of the listener's heart and memories . . .. These songs have a deep sorrow that cries out through the brass and keyboard and resounds on the bones of the listener, as if those drums were reverberating within their body and soul..

"I Cry for You Part 2" . . . put tears in my eyes and my heart . . .

I think I am simply speechless . . . I understand why you didn't write your usual story . . . the story must come from the soul of the listener . . as they listen to these Blue Jazzy pieces . . . and feel . . . just feel the music . . .

EDIT: I am so sorry . . . I did NOT see the album description . . . I'm glad it's there . . .

This album was quite a nice surprise . . . The cover was enticing with it's beginnings of a story . . . two bikes against a brick wall and a British phone booth . . . a tale is hidden in there somewhere . ..

"Lonely Nights" had me absolutely spell bound. .. . it reminded me of something . .. an experience I had perhaps . . . the music was so compelling, but then there were those ambient sounds . .. the voice and the sound of the lighter . . . and then that glitchy ending . . . like a distant radio . .. a dream perhaps . .. flowing immediately into the next track "An Afterthought" . . .

This is the kind of creative music that makes me dreamy . . and feel inspired . . gives me insight and vision . . . makes me feel as if I were unborn and lodged in the deepest darkest cave simultaneously while floating freely in the deepest darkest universe . . . the mystery of it compels us to search for meaning . ..

This album doesn't have the best sound of all the albums I have heard today but I found it moving and amazing in its own way . . . like a mystery in the fog . .. sounds drift and swirl like midnight specters . . . bringing messages and visions . . . a quest to find a truth . .. somewhere along the road to the ultimate end . . .

Lazily, I was listening for something . . . going from album to album, here on Jamendo . . and for some reason I paused as I listened to this one . . .

It seemed to take me somewhere, without demands .. .. just gently guiding me through moments of this life . .. giving me freedom to fly . . or not . . . trance like I progressed through the music . . . as if I traveled, in a twilight state towards a distant planet . . yet I could feel my nerves vibrating as if electrified .. . I was alive through it all .. .

The music was trancelike, or chill. . . not Asian sounding as I was expecting, due to the title, but enjoyable through out it all, none-the-less . . .
