5.0 out of 5 stars Step Into The Lounge, June 19, 2004

By 

"muensing" (Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Buddha-Lounge 3 (Audio CD)

Ancient wisdom, calmness, gentleness, dignity, but also exotic and mysterious magic, strange beauty - these are the notions which the Buddhist culture evokes in our minds - no matter what culture or religion we stem from ourselves.
All these qualities are dealt with in the 14 tracks from ambient artists from Europe and the US assembled on this compilation. The DJ has selected them with knowing care and exquisite taste. Here modern western sounds meet with themes and topics from ancient oriental and occidental cultures.

Gentle but subtly effective trance grooves, moody haunting melodies, and soothing harmonies relax the listener and nurture his mind,soul and body in a easy and entertaining way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely mix of world beat and electronica, October 15, 2005

By 

Eleanor Rose "eleanor" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Buddha-Lounge 3 (Audio CD)

This album is a mixture of world beat including asian, indian and middle eastern rhythms and melodies, with an electronica feel. It is in the same vein, but softer than Dum Dum Project's mix of indian chants. I highly recommend it for meditation or yoga, but also just to relax while studying for a test or having to deal with any stressor. It is not sticky sweet, or cloyingly annoy as something like Enya (not all songs, but some) can be...You won't go use this for aerobics or running, so if you are looking for more up beat electronica with world sounds you should try the new Reboot- Music for the next generation from Om Records. Benefits from both CDs also go to charity, so that's bonus. For what this music is intended, i.e. lounge type chill with a world beat influence, it does an excellent job, and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buddha Lounge 3 is out of the world !, May 11, 2004

By 

Lady Ashera (Mt. Shasta, CA.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Buddha-Lounge 3 (Audio CD)

I just recently got my hands on the latest installment of Sequoia Groove's Buddha Lounge series and it is even better than the previous releases in the series. Absolutely phenomenal ! It has many of my favorite artists along side some fantastic new European artists that I continue to discover through this series. I particulary enjoyed and recommend Nasser Kilada's sensuous middle-eastern number "Tarnima" , Alcyone's up-beat "Velvet Sutra, and David Gordon's cool and fluid "Bodhisattvas" which is a real departure from what I have heard from him in the past.
Buddha-Lounge 3 takes me to an exotically hip, down-tempo place that is just our of this world !
