Like a huge ship pulling out of port, the first track is momentous in the pregnancy of the impending journey. The flute dissolves into the crystal tones only to reemerge and beckon you onward. Each of the four tracks moves you to a more profound sense of joy, higher awareness and universal connection. Gradually the intensity of the droning and chiming of the many bowls and flute grows.
You are invited to journey into the continuum of the spiraling energy of life and out into light-filled realms of the universe on these unique sonic waves and experience harmonic unification with all life.
Crystal Portal was produced during the Lunar Eclipse on the Harmonic Concordance (November, 8, 2003), a turning point for the future destiny of all humanity. Recorded live, this work is an inspired blend of 39 crystal singing bowls, silver transverse flute, bells, Celtic harp, gong, water drum and other instruments. The haunting melodies introduce new musical style that crosses the boundaries of jazz, world music and new age. It is all of these and more. Made with the intention to assist humanity in all ways, it is perfect for deep listening, relaxation, meditation and healing.

Yoga Harmony
by Terry Oldfield; 2004; $15.98; 800-570-4074; www.newearthrecords.com
When the posture of yoga is steady and easy, resting like the cosmic serpent on the waters of infinity, then one is in harmony unconstrained by opposing dualities.
Gracing the inside cover of this CD, this verse from the ancient Indian sage Patanjali couldn't be more telling of the character of Oldfield's music: clear, remarkably unencumbered, mirroring the timbre of nature as does a yoga posture gracefully sustained.

Specifically designed for yoga, this sinuous composition embodies a vitality both enriching and invigorating. I have tried to create an atmosphere of rich emotion and depth that will facilitate the listener to go deeper into their practices, says Terry Oldfield, one of the most celebrated names in New Age music. It can be used with anything that needs a background of quiet peace and reflection. I recently left a test CD with my local Alternative Health Center ' here in Australia where I am a frequent visitor and it has already become a firm favorite there. I can also say with first-hand experience that this music is a wonderful accompaniment to a massage.
A pioneer of flute for the whole being, Terry rises to new heights with Yoga Harmony.
