Album Review: Yoga Planet - The Gordon Brothers

Create ambiance, peace and a sea of energized tranquility with Yoga Planet.

Here we ago again, another Sequoia Records bestselling album by the pioneering duo - The Gordon Brothers. These brothers have been releasing award-winning albums for over 25 years, continuing their success with Yoga Planet. The smooth melodies of Yoga Planet are hypnotizing, creating a trance-like mood that falls somewhere between wakefulness and dreaming. This album is perfect for ... yoga, of course, but don't let the name limit air time of this musical composition. Yoga Planet is a nice collection of smooth lounge music that will add some color and ambiance to anywhere you play it.

Downtempo Electronica

Steve and David Gordon wanted to use some of their music from previous Native/Drumming World music albums and remix them into something complete new, something cool, something chill. The Gordon Brothers teamed up with three creative producers/engineers in electronica, Bobby Cochran, Alex Newman and Noah Perry, to produce this downtempo chill/lounge album.

Good-Mood Music

Yoga Planet is fun and fresh. Sophisticated and serene, this ten-track album is good-mood music for the soul. It is ideal to keep on repeat no matter the company. Some songs are a little more jazzy and upbeat, getting me snapping my fingers and getting into the groove with whoever is around me at the time.

Mellow, yet energetic, Yoga Planet is a combination of sensual electronica, electric and acoustic guitar, piano, keyboard, native flutes and multi-cultural beats. Creating a balanced state of mind, this album is graceful and healing. It creates a peaceful environment, raising the vibration of the room up a notch or two. Helping to keep a relaxed focus without falling asleep or getting so excited that you burn all your fuel too quickly, the tracks evoke an awareness within. The flow between tracks remains kinetic and connected.

Closing

Yoga Planet enlivens the soul, while creating a relaxed, calm, cool and collected atmosphere.
