Reviews

"Complete with the warning that it may cause drowsiness, Liquid Mind VIII: Sleep, by composer Chuck Wild, sets the scene for a visit to dreamland. An advocate for using ultra-slow music in healing settings, Wild has created a perfect compilation to help clients let go and unwind. Use caution, however, as this soothing soundtrack may just inspire your clients to sleep straight through their treatments."

American Spa

"Designed to be part of a pre-sleep regimen, this ultra slow music helps listeners relax and disconnect from activities of the day, making it easier to rest or fall asleep. Keyboard tones, dense synthesizer atmospheres and dreamy ambiance of heavenly music will fill your world with peace and tranquility. This album is ideal for sleeping, meditation, anxiety and stress management. Great as a background for Reiki, yoga, massage or to enhance healing activities. Parents and teachers will find it useful to quiet hyperactive kids, students will find it makes studying easier and it is perfect as a musical backdrop to unwind."

"This is a work full of poetry and beauty. The music flows in a consistent, uninterrupted stream of ethereal soundscapes. The whole album has a clear space air, not only due to the use of synthesizers, but also because of the style of the compositions itself. However, the pieces are not abstract; they have majestic melodies, sometimes somewhat sentimental in nature, wrapped up in nightly, sensual atmospheres. In a few words, a very pleasant CD to listen to."

"I am an early riser - usually around five o'clock. I seldom sleep during the day. I call it the "so much to do, so little time" syndrome. This morning I tried an experiment. After breakfast, dressing, etc., I put the Liquid Mind VIII: Sleep CD on the stereo and stretched out on the bed. It was slightly passed eight o'clock.

I lie there and let the slow, gentle music wash over me. At first, as usual, my mind flitted around from task to task that needed to be done, but gradually I felt myself floating away. When next I opened my eyes, two hours had passed.

I got up feeling rested, relaxed and re-energized. The CD works. If it got me to take a daytime nap, it should work for anyone."

"I listened to Liquid Mind VIII: Sleep and found it very relaxing and sleep inducing! We have put the CD on our recommended list for patients."

"The warning not to drive on the label really isn't meant to be a joke. Chuck Wild seems to know a lot about music meant to put you to sleep, in a good way, and puts it on display here. As cabin fever gives way to warm weather in most places, this is a timely cocoon to step into for a while as the transition goes forth and you get ready for the next stage. A good night sleep is always a good start although mostly taken for granted. There's probably more research in this music than we realize, but it's great stuff to wind down to."
