Steve Gordon - Sequoia Records

"Deep Forest meets Kitaro - A refreshingly original sound. I give it 5 Stars!"

Product Description

Refresh your spirit on this inspiring musical voyage. The Ginkgo Tree, known as a symbol for hope and love, is the muse for the music of Ginkgo Garden, the internationally acclaimed music project of renowned film-music composer and keyboardist Eddy F. Mueller. Two years of studio crafting with some of Europe’s finest musicians went into this hope-filled fifth release. By masterfully combining vintage guitar and keyboard sounds with exotic world instruments, electric guitar, piano, pulsing electronica, multi-layered vocals, Asiatic chants and deeply spiritual lyrics, the result is a uniquely uplifting modern ethno-pop groove. Great efforts were put into the fascinating vocal work on this record resulting in a gorgeous and uplifting vocal sound. One of the most popular artists on the acclaimed Buddha-Lounge series, Ginkgo Garden is now bringing their wonderfully genre-blending music to the US by popular demand.

"One of the most requested artists from Sequoia's popular "Buddha-Lounge" series, Ginkgo Garden has already had success overseas with its uplifting grooves. This exciting world beat project, from renowned German producer Eddy F. Mueller, offers a unique blend of driving rhythms, spacious synthesizers, guitar (both acoustic and electric) and richly layered vocals. Imagine blending Asian ambiance with the ethnic sensibilities of Deep Forest. Amp up the pop/rock elements, throw in some electric guitars and you'll start to get an idea of what Ginkgo Garden's very original, genre-bending sound is like. This is definitely an album to toss in the CD player next time you're looking for something fun and funky." ~ Music Design In Review

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unexpected Delight !, December 12, 2005

I really love the Ginkgo Garden tracks that I've enjoyed so much from the Buddha Lounge and Cafe De Luna series from Sequoia Records. But when I ordered this debut solo release from GG I didn't expect it to be so far beyond my expectations. The scope and range of this music from Eddy Mueller and crew is extraordinarily varied. From downtempo-chillout tracks (A Mystic Day in Mandalay/The Seafarer) to tribal trance (Padparadscha/Drums of Faith) to the progressive rock sensibilites of (The North Wind Pt. 1 & 2) to infecuous pop grooves (There is Love). Each song builds on its predecessor beautifully leaving the listener uplifted and inspired. This is a great title for letting loose and dancing joyously around the house either by yourself or with ones you love. Beautiful!

This review is from: Faith Hope & Love (Audio CD)

I have to say the tracks here are greatly uplifting. When the day is getting me down and stressed out this is a perfect pick-me-up. The melodies are soothing yet exciting and the vocals/lyrics are amazing. Glad to have it in my collection. I have also really been into World Groove Mix, Vol. 1 lately...great album as well.
