5.0 out of 5 stars JOY Overdose, July 4, 2003

I bought this CD on a whim after hearing it mentioned in a magazine article - forgot which - as a good CD for a pleasant ambience.
'Pleasant?' Talk about understatement.
You will want to tell others about it as soon as you hear the first four or five tracks. But then when you get to track 8, there will be a door opening inside you that is marked "To Heaven". Track 9, the last track, is the best on the CD, in my opinion, and the one that removes the usefulness of the English vocabulary to try to describe it. It's the most intoxicatingly ecstasy-promoting music I've heard.
There is an NLP (neurolinguistic progrmaming) technique that involves you thinking and feeling about a highly positive emotionally charged past event, and then you create a physical anchor such as applying pressure to a finger while thinking about it. (It's good for job interviews or other anxiety producing times.) Track nine is my background music when I go through the process of creating an anchor, and it works so well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Joy!!, September 3, 2001

I have been inspired by Deuter's music ever since I heard his album Ecstacy in the early 80's. All of his music puts me in touch with my spirit. And this one is no exception. Once again Deuter enfolds with his enchanting embrace. All nine selections are infused with the feeling tones of joy and upliftment. If this music was a wine I would have to say it is champagne -- pure sparkling golden effervescent bubbly.

Each of the nine vignettes makes me feel as if my spirit has taken a holiday to a lush and idyllic tropical island where the sun shines all day long while little billowing white clouds float along in the sky. Then at night I sense the full moon casting is silvery rays off of the calm ocean waves, shimmering and iridescent.

Apres La Pluie, track 4, is one of my favorites. Opening with the beat of tabla drums, as if waves are rhythmically lapping the shore, it sets the stage for the entrance of Deuter's recorder flutes. At first, one magical songbird starts singing while the sun's rays poke over the horizon at dawn. In a little while more birds join in with their songs. Then, as if a warm gentle breeze is rising up off of the ocean, the synthesized strings add their lush texture.

Whether you want to relax or daydream or take an inner journey, I can only give this work my highest recommendation. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, July 7, 2008

Sun Spirit and Koyasan are my favourite Deuter's cd's.
Sun Spirit is delicate yet strong, fiery yet gentle, enthusiastic yet ecstatic, melodic yet ungraspable by the monkey mind. A truly delicious composition for all sorts of activities and non activities. Delicate dance of piano en flute with a very very slight south American scent?
