Idan Raichel Project Review: Mi'Ma'amakim (Out Of The Depths) is one of the first songs I discovered from Idan Raichel Project. This CD is filled with sounds of Ethiopia mixed with the soulful voice of Israel, the Idan Raichel Project takes me away to places I've been and felt beneath my feet. People I've met briefly but who have touched my life in depth. I can listen to this song over and over and never get tired. "Out of the depths" has been my discovery this Summer and the album is filled with surprising and beautiful sounds. Each song, a work of art. A wonderful fusion of Israeli, Ethiopian and Middle Eastern influences. The Idan Raichel Project ~Nat

Sonic Aid: Music to Improve Relaxation These six programs adding up to a little more than an hour long listening experience truly promotes a relaxed state of mind. It starts with a piece called "the embrace" and slowly takes you through with subtle combinations of smooth melody, and various rhytms and tempo to the last piece appropriately titled 'a breath of fresh air". The booklet included offers great background to music basics, explains the four distinct brainwave zones affected by the music and gives you instructions how to get the best results. Reduce stress and enter a relaxed state of mind with Music to Improve Relaxation. I listen to it and I love it! ~Nat
