If you are sufficiently interested in this type of music to read this review, you will probably like this CD. If you also like to meditate with music on, you will definitely like this CD. The music will transport you in both time and space. I gave the CD four stars instead of five because it has one flaw: Track number 4 sounds too modern, and is out of place. If you can program your CD player, skip track 4, and you will have a great experience.

If I could give this a 10, I would!

I've been on the quest for good sacred space/meditation music for quite some time. I took a risk since, I really couldn't tell by the sound bytes if I'd like it. I brought it home, lit some incense, candles and got comfortable whilst I pressed 'play'. For me, it was like magic. "At first, the metallic-stringed harp reminded me of Japanese music, but as the album moves along, there's something not quite Asian, African or Middle Eastern -- but definitely mystical. I would think Markoe tapped into the "Eternal Now" so aptly put on the first track of the CD. My small, cramped bedroom was turned into a temple and I, its priestess. Well done! The great thing is that each track can apply to a specific ritual or practice and their names reflect that. The first song, I used for meditation (simply programmed to repeat over and over). The next one is great for morning or "pre-dawn devotion" as described and so on. Quite versatile and yet it doesn't command one's attention, so you can easily meditate, sleep, do yoga or journal to it without being mesmerized by the melodies.

I use this cd often, during my healing or Energy sessions. I also use it during my Energy classes. All of the songs have an interesting, sort of captivating, sometimes haunting melody. My clients & students enjoy when I play this cd. Many clients have gone out & bought it themselves.

The music is outstanding. Just light some incense and you are in Ancient Egypt. Great pick of instruments. I could not have picked a better CD for Ancirnt Egypt. Totaly puts you in trance state. You got to buy it.

I enjoy every track on this cd. All of the music is rich and mystical without being flighty or an exaggeration of the genre as some new age type cd's tend to be. Thoroughly enjoyable and timeless.

Wonderful to meditate to at work...it reduces our stress!!! Also, I have my massage therapist to play this one every week! We are both carried away!

I have spent many hours listening to this CD while meditating.

It seems to bring my feelings out and make me think about a lot of things.

It definitely sounds like ancient Egptian music to me. I guess they used the same sort of instruments that would have been used at that time.

Plato believed that Isis created some of the music from very ancient Egypt.

I guess the image on the cover is supposed to be Isis. She has very dark skin, almost black.

The great Edgar Cayce claimed that he had known and become romantically involved with Isis around 10,500 BC in Egypt. Their story is an interesting one which involved Ra Ta's enemies using the goddess' great beauty as a political weapon to ensnare the former Atlantean priest.

I bring this up here since Isis appeared at that time as a dancer in the mysterious temples such as the 'Temple Beautiful'. Apparently music and dance were used in very esoteric and mysterious ways to help the 'things' become normal again.

The music is very relaxing but not what I expected. It reminds me more of Japanese music than Egyptian.

If you are looking for relaxation, this music might be it. It worked for me. The reason I gave 4 stars not 5, is because I would like it to be longer..I thought it was too short.

This music is very different but not beyond your understanding and appreciation. It is soothing and restful and interesting.
