\"Leben<\/a>My second acquisition from the Musik Zur Ruhe<\/em> series was Volume 10, Leben – Humming Voices<\/em>. The experience mirrored\u00a0my jump from Deep Breakfast<\/em> to The Sky Of Mind.\u00a0 Leben<\/em> was still a good collection of\u00a0new age music but\u00a0did appeal to me like Licht – Flying Clouds\u00a0<\/em>did.\u00a0 Where Jean Michel Jarre<\/em> used\u00a0synthesizers and bizarre electronic gadgets for Oxygene<\/em> and Equinoxe, Leben’s <\/em> artists added more traditional acoustic instruments and voices on many of the tracks. It isn’t bad but the result is a slower more meditative experience instead of the electronic invigorating aura I was trying to recapture.<\/p>\n

As I sit here and listen, I can feel my heart rate settling into a calm and peaceful rhythm. Images of a still lake smooth as glass carry my mind away.\u00a0 It would be another eight or nine years before I’d share this music with Aric and Scott and funny enough, it would be on a still lake smooth as glass in north central Michigan in the full color of autumn.<\/p>\n

Another big difference from Licht<\/em> is that Leben <\/em> is a compilation of several different artists. I like that they have different approaches and different choices in instruments but yet maintain that peaceful meditative style. Now the big question is what will be available to share with you…<\/p>\n
