Ray Lynch's Masterpiece, November 25, 2000
This review is from: Deep Breakfast (Audio CD)
I've never been confortable with the term "New Age" as it applies to music. It has a ring of superficiality, and Ray Lynch's music is anything but. Following his 1983 debut (The Sky of Mind), the clasically-trained Lynch released Deep Breakfast in 1986. It is his masterpiece. Sometimes playful ("Rhythm in the Pews"), sometimes majestic ("The Oh of Pleasure"), always enchanting and engrossing, Lynch makes music that both comforts and challenges. Though mostly a solo effort by Lynch (keyboards, piano, guitar), he is joined by Tom Canning (additional keyboards on "The Oh of Pleasure") and Beverly Jacobs (Flute) and Ron Strauss (viola). I was first introduced to Deep Breakfast by a co-worker. It had the same emotional impact on me as the first time I heard Enya. This is powerful music. No surprise that this is one of the few New Age albums to sell more than 500,000 copies. ESSENTIAL

Uplifting & numinous sounds!, May 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep Breakfast (Audio CD)
It's always sold as "new age" music, but it's so much more -- bright, uplifting, conscious, multidimensional -- the refinement and subtlety and balance you usually only find in classical music, with a freshness and energy that never get old. It's "evergreen" -- a classic that keeps showing up as new and lively. I first heard it years ago, and recently bought my FIFTH copy. I listen to all kinds of music, but this is probably my all-time favorite album of any genre.

Deep Breakfast, September 8, 2000

If you haven't had the opportunity to listen to Deep Breakfast, then you are missing one of the modern worlds newest masterpieces. This album contains uplifting, soul moving sounds, driving the spirit into ecstasy. It is truely candy for the ears, love for the soul and all the while pearcing the heart with exhilrating sounds of pure inspiration. A sneak preview of heaven.
