Like a lot of his ambient peers, Lichens both suffers and benefits from a remarkable sense of sameness. These soft tones wave like flags in a light breeze, a single fabric in constant gentle flux. The result is at once cool and becoming, inviting but diffuse. OMNS may not be the ambient record to win over the unconverted -- Keith Fullerton Whitman's stomach-loosening Lisbon holds that title -- but it offers plenty of attention-getting flourishes atop these spare tones, albeit as simple as the guitar flutters of the first track or the piano melancholia of the second. For all its impressive intellectualism, it remains firmly committed to pleasing the listener, even forcing the artist's personality to the point of including a pensive live DVD with the record. This performance is a nice enough addendum but serves more as a visual corollary to the five sanguine beauties from the album proper. ~ Clayton Purdom

Every Ghost album tends to feel epic, whether they're getting heavy with droning psych-rock, indulging in avant-noise experimentation, or mellowing out with spiritually minded acoustic folk. IN STORMY NIGHTS, the Japanese collective's eighth album, released on Drag City in 2007, contains sublime examples of all of those facets of the band. With only six songs, the album plays like a concise overview of Ghost's career (this despite the presence of one of the band's most adventurous extended takes, the 28-minute "Hemicyclic Anthelion") without sacrificing an ounce of the powerfully ...

The Original Power-Nap CD provides the equivalent of 3 Hours of deep sleep in 20 minutes listening time!Mastered utilizing a scientifically engineered series of computer-generated sound waveforms, listening to this CD for 20 minutes through Stereo Headphones will leave you feeling refreshed, energized, positive, and ready to face the rest of your day!How does it work? We take advantage of "Carrier Waves" which make it possible for even inexpensive headphones to reproduce the equivalent of 1 to 200Hz waves. When you sleep under normal circumstances, your brain cycles through several different stages of Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and High Gamma waves as you drift from one stage of sleep to another-- from deep sleep to dreaming, to wakefulness, and so on. When you listen through headphones, your brain has no sensory input other than the sounds that are played through your ears. When the brain hears more than a minute or so of a certain frequency, it modulates to match the input frequency. Thus, listening to this CD through headphones for a duration of 20 minutes guides your brain through a pattern of sleep that would otherwise require three hours of time!What happens when you listen? You will hear pleasing waterfall-like sounds for the duration of the CD. During the first 5 minutes or so, your brain adjusts to the sounds coming through the headphones. For the next 10 minutes, the CD cycles your brain between deep and REM sleep periods, finally bringing your mind to a state of heightened wakefulness at the end of the CD. When the waterfall-like sounds stop, you will awaken spontaneously, feeling refreshed as though you have had a long nap.Who can benefit?- Anyone who works long hours and needs a break to re-focus.- Students with rigorous schedules or preparing for exams. - Busy mothers with young children.- Overly ambitious persons who are looking for a few more hours in a day.- Individuals who are in professions where their shifts change.- Persons who travel between ...
