Review "...one of the finest meditation soundscapes I ve heard...easily pulls the listener into a deep state of relaxation" -- The Light Magazine "...perfect for background music - let yourself go, let your spirit renew with the sounds of these sacred groves." -- Carol Wright, Napra Trade Journal "Dreamy, delicate music that relaxes... silver flute and harp create an angelic atmosphere... especially good for massage ...." --Heartsong Review "The perfect environment to relax into... let the gentle caresses of the music carry your worries away." --All Music Guide Soothing Sanctuary, by David Gordon and Steve Gordon is, as the title implies, a safe haven and a rest stop on the highway of life. Indeed, life is a journey to be enjoyed, not a mystery to be solved. Steve and David embrace that concept and enhance it by giving deep listeners an energizing break. In the mad rush of today's society and corporate madness, this is similar to the power nap. These breaks, however, have their own purposes and become pieces of the journey rather than external elements. Thus, this haven is more enjoyment of the journey and not a break at all. It is a new age classic! --Jim Brenholts, EER-Music.com From the Artist Transform your Yoga and Meditation with Music. "The right music can be a powerful tool for transforming yoga and meditation. The music of Soothing Sanctuary is one such example. The length is just right for a session of yoga and meditation. Breathe deeply and use the flow of the music as it starts quietly and slowly builds to guide the pace of your practice. Let your thoughts quiet by returning each time to the soothing melodies and sounds of nature on this CD. As the music comes to an end, allow yourself to be guided to slowly end your session. Keep that feeling of peace with you throughout your day." ~ Beth Shaw, Founder and President, YogaFit Inc. About the Artist David and Steve Gordon have pioneered New Age/World music with their award-winning top charting albums for over twenty years. Their influential trademark sound, combining world instruments and sounds of nature has sold over one million units worldwide and has appeared on network TV and major motion picture scores such as the recent Fox Searchlight release, "Kissing Jessica Stein." Since founding Sequoia Records in 1982, the Gordon brothers have been breaking musical ground, consistently creating albums that top the charts, garner awards, and expand the boundaries of New Age and World music. "We like to think of our music as the music of Earth and Spirit, because we believe that one of the goals of being alive is to unite the two into one," explains Steve Gordon. Natives of Southern California, David and Steve Gordon both took an early interest in music. After studying classical music at Los Angeles Valley College and UCLA, the brothers both attended the Grove Music Academy where they studied modern harmony and jazz. They formed Sequoia Records in 1982 to release their first two albums Misty Forest Morning and Peaceful Evening. These albums combined music and nature so beautifully that they became known as definitive recordings of the newly emerging New Age music genre... Since these releases met with critical acclaim and healthy sales, over the next couple of years they recorded their next two music and nature titles, Radiant Sea and Still Waters. They next began experimenting with their music, developing a new style they called "Inner Environments", which they featured on two albums, Astral Journey and Celestial Suite. These recordings were some of the earliest examples of what is known today as Ambient/Space Music. In the early '90's the brothers began to collect Tribal drums and studied the Native American flute. They envisioned a contemporary world music, combining traditional Native instruments, with guitar, keyboards, and sounds of nature into a new universal world groove. Their 1994 release Sacred Earth Drums successfully blended all of these elements, topping the New Age charts. This influential crossover recording reached #1 at all the New Age distributors immediately upon release, stayed there for over 3 years and even now remains high on distributors sales charts. In 1996, David and Steve went back into the studio and created the follow-up to Sacred Earth Drums, which they titled Sacred Spirit Drums. Immediately it began to receive enthusiastic reviews. Steve Ryals of New Age Retailer's Fresh Tracks said, "Each superb track flows into the next. Evocative, mysterious, sensual, and profoundly healing."
