There are thousands of ways the word love can be defined. When talking about the word in an interpersonal context, everyone can easily recognize their true feelings and just know they love someone without a written description to define what they are feeling.

Paul Avgerinos is the composing musician behind the album having a title and theme related to the divine word we call love. This New Age artist who named his positively feel good album after one of our most primitive and basic needs we possess received NAR / ZMR awards for Best World Album in 2007 with Garden Of Delight, and Best Relaxation / Meditation Album in 2006 with Gnosis. Many of his songs also enjoy abundant airplay, sharing his relaxing music at the top on many online radio charts.

Paul's latest album titled Love does focus on both the nature and nurturing side to music, giving a caring gentle touch to ambience while providing a definition of what the word love means to him on a personal level, both in music and by his own compassionate words.

Round Sky Music label is at the heart of Paul's discography, where Ambient, Healing, and Relaxation music is expressed in an ever present restful state of mind and where anyone who searches for it can find Love. With his latest like prior albums, Paul performs in his natural musical state of contentment playing cello, bass, violin, 12 string acoustic, electric swell & echo slide guitars, vocal choirs, synthesizers & sound design. Paul does recognize inside the CD cover that the Love album would not be a reality without the dedication of his friend and co-musician Kevin Braheny Fortune.

Kevin's role was to first lay the groundwork for many of the songs, while also providing key instrumentation throughout, giving the entire project equal balance between the two artists while they each gave their personal interpretation about the gift of love musically. Kevin plays clarinet, electronic wind, alto flute, and soprano saxophone while sharing his own give and take for this relaxing project titled after the easy to understand, yet difficult to define word. Dictionaries provide a simple explanation of the complex feelings involved when we love someone, so here is a quick check of the basic concept.

While this Love album may not strike at the very core of our existence as the title might suggest, it does succeed at offering an inner peace through gentle calming ambience that one can easily become attached to. You will also find yourself inspired by Paul's sincere commitment for sharing his musical expression on this album while giving and receiving love in an unconditional manner, just like the word love was meant to be.

Paul Avgerinos has been a leader in the new age/ambient music movement for many years, and his latest release, "Love," underscores why. Definitely on the ambient end of the musical spectrum, this music creates a mood of warm tranquility and holds it for a little over an hour, leaving the listener relaxed, refreshed, and uplifted. Avgerinos' publicity sums up this release as, "Blissful Lullabies celebrating our highest vibration ~ Love," so saying that it might put you to sleep is not a negative. Avgerinos appears on cello, bass violin, a variety of guitars, vocal choirs, synthesizeers, and sound design. Kevin Braheny Fortune plays clarinet, electronic wind instrument, alto flute, and soprano sax. He improvised the melodies for four of the tracks without accompaniment, and then Avgerinos orchestrated around his "brilliant poetic lyricism" (quoted from the liner notes).

In the background, "Love" provides a soothing and unobtrusive environment for working, reading, conversing, napping, or any number of activities. In the foreground, it will provide a massage for the mind and spirit and gently let the cares of the day slip away. Beautifully-engineered so that the sounds wrap you in their warmth and colors, this is ambient/new age music done right.

Ethereal and mesmerizing...this album creates and incredible atmosphere that is soothing for the soul. Paul Avgerinos, once again, demonstrates a masterful ability to orchestrate ambient instrumentation.

I absolutely love this CD. It is hauntingly beautiful music, and I never tire of listening to it. I first heard it when I took a Cranial Temple Activation certification workshop, and I was almost moved to tears when I first heard the music. This is a wonderful gift for the spiritualist, Light Worker, Healer, or anyone for that matter. Perhaps a wedding present for a couple in love. Just magnificent...

It is difficult to review this album because how can you describe a meditation with words? And the album "Love" of Paul Avgerinos is exactly a meditation.

His music flows very easily. It is like you wake up at early Summer dawn and you see all objects around you in grey color. But little by little the rising sun starts to paint all around by different colors and you cannot believe how beautiful the multicolored world is. You just feel delight to see outward things. You realize that this world is filled by love and you feel that love is a true essence of your self.

The album "Love" can be compared with releases of one of new age founders Deuter. The music of Paul Avgerinos helps to clear the mind and to release it from the worries of everyday life. There is so much beauty and tranquility in his celestial melodies.

Listen to the album "Love" and feel your true nature which is love itself.

"The moment Paul's first track began to play I felt my whole body change. I was in high energy working mode when I popped it into my CD player. My body immediately relaxed and released. I felt reminded to slow my pace and take in the present moment. LOVE - is imbued with magic."

These are one of those albums you can listen over and over and over and over again and never get tired of it-it's a treat to your senses and relaxing; also opens a whole new awareness inside; aside from all of that, I call it a sweet treat for the Soul! I highly recommend downloading this ENTIRE album - every single composition is of high quality and profoundly beautiful as it is a treat!! Enjoy!!

fabulous album - listen to it over and over, it is fresh and meaningful every time.

As always Paul Avgerinos delivers an album of astounding beauty. LOVE is a record of gorgeous sound-scapes that only a refined ear and clear mind, like Mr. Avgerinos', could have created. If you are an avid listener of New Age or Mood musics or if you are interested in this genre but have not yet entered in, this is a great record and I highly recommend it.

Paul continues to provide excellent new age music with his latest CD "LOVE". Beautiful melodies and a must for your collection. You will certainly enjoy it!
