The Ultimate Chakra CD. Intention is Clear..., September 24, 2008
I have to say that of the CDs of that I own by Goldman, this is one of the most richly layered and intentfully well-put together CDs I've experienced.
For this CD Goldman uses sacred ratios, corresponding chakra sounds, mantras, bijas, sacred code frequencies and just about every connective historical vocal and musical tool known to achieve deep meditation and penetrative healing, including intervals using the Fibonacci Series and use of sacred geometry by way of The Tree of Life.
All of what is included and what the musical result of it is, is quite overwhelming, and as you might imagine if you are familiar with all that I've mentioned above...incredibly powerful.
As for the music, it is quite beautifully done. A couple of favorites of mine on ths CD are "Call of Compassion" and "Embracing the Beloved" and after hearing the samples they are the reason I made the purchase.
When I bought the CD I had no idea that so much was layered into it until I read the insert, but I was especially excited to find it out!
There are 14 tracks on the CD. Each track is approximately 4 minutes long and flows gracefully to the next. The chakra balancing starts from the root, moves up each center to the crown, and then again climbs back down to the root to finish.
The pace of the CD runs about 50 beats per minute, the approximate beat-rate per minute of a healthy heart while at rest. The music has a bit of an east asian or middle eastern flavor to it with tribal beats.
The overlaying chants, bijas, mantras and chakra sounds are put together in a way that creates calm, focus, and a sense of peace and safety. There is a subtle intensity to the music that seems to highlight and ground "being on purpose". I feel that there are definitely some powerful manifesting energies spinning throughout.
Having the insert to read is a must, as it thoroughly explains how the music was woven together. The information allowed me to connect with just how much research and care went into putting the music together, and with that, how much intent was put into creating probably THE most definitive and thorough chakra balancing and healing CD available on the market. The clarity of therapeutic intent that comes through by reading just the insert is powerful, empowering and inspiring on its own!

The next level in chant, July 9, 2004
This review is from: Lost Chord (Audio CD)
I have been listening daily and (also) falling asleep to this cd for over a year. Listening to this cd is sacred technology for stress relief and daily healing. I also listen to Goldman's "OM" cd as a prelude to my meditation sessions. This artist has, in my opinion, taken this (chant) genre to an entirely new level...raised the bar considerably. If you are looking for something modern, yet keeping with the essence of sacred tradition, then purchase this CD. Goldman can proudly join company with David Hykes and Christian Bollman et al. I thank the author for his thoughtfull contribution to modern sacred music and introducing eastern chant to western ears in such a powerfull, direct, unique, and beautifull way. Om Nama Shiva and blessings to all.

chanson d'etre, March 12, 2002
This review is from: Lost Chord (Audio CD)
A masterful recording. There are no electronically produced sounds on this recording which results in a deep connection to the sounds when used with conscious intent. Great for healing work as well as meditation and visionary work. Highly recommended.
