5.0 out of 5 stars More Music for the Soul, August 3, 2009

My experience with Frederic Delarue began with his "Eyes of Your Heart" CD, the most beautiful music I have ever heard. It is not only beautiful ethereal piano composition, but more importantly, it is so vibrationally superb. "A Mind Like An Ocean" is my third Delarue CD and Frederic's sixth album and it is very beautiful. It is from 2007.

You will notice the amazing cover on this album. As you study the picture, especially if you are on a spiritual path, you will see indescribable beauty of a connection through the 6th charka (3rd eye charka) to a column of light ascending upward, angels on both sides to support the light and surrounded by dolphins. The original was a painting by Eva, an artist from Pennsylvania. Frederic intensely meditated on the painting and created this album. As in Frederic's other albums, this collection of music is not only beautiful but it is also vibrationally superb. The vibration is not the kind you hear, it is the kind you feel. If you are not into feeling energy, you will at minimum find this music to be soft, peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, joyful, and uplifting. If you are into the energy thing, you will find that it deeply touches your heart and will probably make your whole body feel alive and tingly.

This CD has 11 tracks, totaling 56:11 minutes or a wee bit less than 1 hour. The tracks blend together nicely with only a slight pause in between, barely noticeable. With music, I usually write my review as I experience each track for the first time, so that you can know my first impressions. But this morning I was compeled to listen to this CD in the car and have been listening to it all day long. My spiritual interests and the cover seemed to be calling me to hurry up and listen to this CD. It leaves you feeling so wonderful.

The tracks are:

1. A Mind Like An Ocean (5:57)

2. The Journey Begins. . .(6:26)

3. Believe (4:29)

4. In the Breath of Life (3:24)

5. Intuition (6:18)

6. Inspiration (4:09)

7. Celebration (3:57)

8. Prayer Dance (4:56)

9. With a Gentle Heart (5:05)

10. A New Life (7:30)

11. Gratitude (3:57)

I am not going to try to break each song down for you because this is not like an ordinary compilation of songs album. It is something entirely different. The whole album is a masterpiece of flowing heart-centered, inspiring beauty. I will mention though, that the first time I listened to track 2, the emotions in me swelled up from its beauty and I began to cry a little. If you really concentrate on this music, it is so very powerful. Of course, you can also just play it in the background if you want and go on about your business. I believe it will resonate with your inner self whether you know what I'm talking about or not.

Frederic is a gentleman originally from France who now resides in the Palms Springs, California desert. As a 12-year old boy, he was in a horrible auto accident that ejected him from the car and busted him up badly. Following the accident, he had a near death experience (NDE) that forever changed his life. His music is so beautiful and so vibrational, he surely must have brought it back from Heaven as a result of the NDE. You will want to play his albums over and over again, especially if you are on a spiritual path. This is "healing" music. Not only that but it speaks to your soul in a language that is truly of another place.

5.0 out of 5 stars From MainlyPiano.com, December 11, 2007

This review is from: A Mind Like An Ocean (Audio CD)

"A Mind Like an Ocean" is Frederic Delarue's sixth album, and is quite possibly his best work to date. I've been a big fan of Delarue's music since he debuted with "Voyage of the Soul" in 2002, so each new album has been a treat. Wanting to reach a broader audience with his music, this album is perhaps a bit more accessible from beginning to end than the others, but maintains Delarue's warmth, sincerity, and positive outlook. Delarue is planning to put his music to light shows and other visual media, and it's easy to imagine this being extraordinarily effective. A spiritualist and a healer, Delarue's music is powerful yet very soothing and calming, inviting the listener to close his or her eyes and be enveloped by the sound.

There is an interesting story about the creation of this album. Delarue's composing is usually directed by his Angels, and although he knew what this album was supposed to be about, he wasn't getting anywhere with the music. Painter Eva M. Sakmar-Sullivan contacted Delarue to purchase some of his CDs, and Delarue then visited her website (stardolphin.com) to see her artwork. He was blown away by the similarity of their approaches to creation and asked if she would design the cover for "A Mind Like An Ocean." She agreed, but the music still wasn't forthcoming. Delarue asked if he could purchase the original artwork, and when it arrived, he felt he could step into the painting. Almost immediately, the music started to flow, and with the painting placed in front of him at his keyboards, the music was created in three days.

The title track begins the album. Blending a percussive rhythm and an ethereal melody, Delarue suggests vast openness and as well as majestic but gentle beauty. "The Journey Begins..." is more ambient and floating, like a peaceful musical dream. "Believe" picks up the tempo a bit, setting a simple but beautiful melody to a catchy rhythm. "In the Breath of Life" is a lovely guitar and piano piece that exudes warmth and contentment. "Intuition" feels a bit more urgent, but not uncomfortable. I love "Celebration," a lively dance with an infectious beat - joy set to music! I also really like "Prayer Dance," with its sense of mystery and of moving forward. This one reminds me a bit of Yanni in the instrumentation and spirit - a compelling piece! "A New Life" has a cinematic, quiet power that suggests that this journey is coming to an end, bringing with it a new beginning. The closing track, "Gratitude," includes the sounds of the ocean and dolphins. Peaceful and contented, it is a warm and serene closing.

Frederic Delarue's music always carries a message of peace, but feels more musically substantial than many of the artists in the genre. Give yourself a treat and check out "A Mind Like An Ocean"! Highly recommended!

Beautiful music, you feel soft and you feel strong, you feel: I Am Divine Love.

For me is a mind like an ocean, connected with every heartbeat and breath with Dolphins. I have swim with them 4 times and they stay with me, not only in the ocean, where ever I go!!!

My Love for/to Dolphins and their Love to for/me, is my day and night inspiration, because there message is to all of us: You Are Love and We Are All Love. So I enter my heart and listen each moment of the day to my inner voice, who is connected to the Source( like we all in the world and universe)and the there is a magic creativity in all what I am doing! When I need, this music strengthen me and when I need relaxtion I get this,like an ocean, it streams and streams... I send you dolphinlove and joy, Liesbeth.
