A CD I recommend without reservation is “Rivers from the Sun”. I have listened to these diverse and multi-dimensional instrumental pieces frequently for many months now, and they never cease to provide a soothing, meditative state which allows me to put ‘reality’ into a calming perspective. Accessing the memory of “Rivers from the Sun”[s] mellow instrumental flows has been a quantum-shift tool in difficult situations. I can only express complete gratitude that such music exists.
