Lately more space music/ ambient artists are merging these fl oat- ing worlds of sound with music designed for the healing arts (massage, yoga, meditation). One such project, Dream- ing Time, is sublime and transporting, for both inner and outer space travel. Smithson builds vibratory environments for activation, remembrance, integration and expansion; four tracks—or move- ments—ranging from 15 to 25 minutes each make this recording a neo-classi- cal modern symphony. The artist uses aural delicacies and sonic swells from differing times and spaces to sustain the mystery, with a fi nal section of bell-like tones and ethereal voices that coalesces the various elements into wholeness. (Sphere Music) —Lloyd Barde K irtan has the power to take us into the heart of divine love in a unique way. Kirtonica is a term coined to describe a relatively new musical genre that fuses kirtan and electronica into an upbeat, dance-inducing musical mosa- ic. Great for dance and getting things done, it's also wonderful for traveling and will help you get there on time. It is moving music. Kirtronica, the new album by Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda, who are regulars on the kirtan festival circuit, is a beautiful- ly done album that epitomizes this new sound. If you love kirtan, and you love dance and yoga, you will surely love this album.
