Unlike much of the competition in the "meditation/chillout/relaxation" field, this music manages to be ethereal, complex, and interesting all at the same time. It's meticulously recorded and free of the twee and irritating "angelic" trappings that make so much of this genre so schmaltzy and unlistenable. In fact, this set stands on its own as music for its own sake, although it also accomplishes its stated purpose (relaxation, meditation, whatever) quite well too. One might be skeptical of the "awakened mind" claims made in the liner notes-I don't know if merely listening to music that purports to "map" the EEG readings of spiritual adepts will give the listener a shortcut to satori, nirvana, or the Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Center Of The Ultraworld-but the music's relaxing effects are real. As ambient music, this stuff is head and shoulders above most of the product released under that label and in some ways is superior to Brian Eno's later-period stabs at the genre (e.g. Neroli, Shutov Assembly). One can even put it on as background noise and not be labeled a SNAG (sensitive New Age guy), and that's a rare thing.

Most people probably wouldn't classify this as music, but if you are into spiritual meditation this CD is for you. The second track literally puts me into another world. The track definitely seems to generate high energy.

Since l976 when I first tried biofeedback and learned I could control
my brainwaves, I've been experimenting with ways to get better at it.
I've done a year of training to help my ADHD, I've meditated since l980,
I've been a professional clairvoyant..spending thousands of hours in an
"altered state" while I work.
Whats so wonderful about Dr. Thompson's various CD's is that you can
simply choose a brainwave, the way you pick out a pair of socks, and
apply it to the need of the moment. God Bless the 21st century, its
inventors, the music equipment that carries the message, and especially
Dr. Thompson for his bold, beautiful, magical music that makes the
"medicine go down" so sweetly! This is a symphony for the holistic being.Enjoy and grow and transform.....I recommend it to anyone who cares about themselves and this world. If you've never used Brainwave Music
before....give yourself a treat. Its better than hot buttered popcorn!

The Dynamic Transformation music feels like traveling through the galaxy. You have to hear this music with a good pair of headphones to understand what it feels like.

I am speechless. I listen to this CD almost everyday at work on my iPod shuffle. You forget everything around you and focus on task at hand with a very high level of concentration. Simply brilliant!

This is the only CD that I feel deserves more than just 5 stars.

I love these CDs, I've almost worn them out....but not in this packaging. I bought them as single discs, saw this, and from what I could tell it was not the same as the single discs...WRONG!
