A Natural Antidote For Life Stress

SpunGeneration

Like many people in the world today there are times when all the pressure of contemporary life just overwhelms me. I have most of the Liquid Mind collection and find these albums to be a great stress reliever. Yes, the songs are soothing, but as I listen to the albums over and over I have begun to detect a unique and underlying theme that is unique to each collection. It is a subtle quality and I feel these themes (for lack of a better word) are what make these albums so very good at what they do; mainly to relax and return my overstressed self to a sense of centeredness. These albums are permanent residents on my Mp3 player, laptop computer and SD cards. I highly recommend them.

Smooth and Flowing

You pretty much know what you're getting from the titles of the songs, but unlike a lot of New Age music, Liquid Mind is able to take the best ideas and keep them fresh without sounding derivative or too terribly treacly. It may not be the deepest space music you've ever heard (think more Deuter than Robert Rich, more Steve Roach than Brian Eno's ambient work), but it does the trick. If you like the show "Music from the Hearts of Space," you'll love these albums...each one sounds like an hour of soothing sonic bliss from that mainstay radio program.

They Say All Media Guide

Chuck Wild’s Liquid Mind series should be required listening at rehabilitation centers, mental health facilities, and anywhere that cooler heads are required. (It might even work in the U.S. Congress.) Many listeners and readers might remember that a hospital in England used to play one of Brian Eno’s albums in its delivery rooms; the music apparently had a calming effect on the expectant mothers and fathers. Liquid Mind IV: Unity is more of the same — thank goodness — from Wild. These deep psychoactive atmospheres are calm and gentle respites from the highways and byways of life. Deep listeners will find themselves approaching the fetal position as they curl up and relax. Wild’s sound design is in top form. These soundscapes and atmospheres are vast and deep. This symphonic new age CD is a wonder. It will appeal to fans of Constance Demby, Kip Mazuy, James Johnson, and Sean Washburn. It is a classic. – Jim Brenholts
