Review

"Laudanum" is a short (21 minutes) set of sacred minimalism from the creative genius, Amir Baghiri and Rüdiger Gleisberg. The three compositions feature atmospheric minimalism surrounding - and surrounded by - Gregorian chants. The music is another vehicle for meditation, albeit a different form. Amir is encouraging listeners to look for God's answers. When prayer is defined as "asking for God's help," meditation is defined as "listening for His answers." In terms of sacred and holy composition, this cd is an absolute winner. It ranks right with "Prayers to the Protector", "Sacred Space Music", "Novus Magnificat", "Sacred Space" and "Musical Meditation for World Peace". In terms of atmospheric minimalism, it is also a sure-fire winner and an early candidate for 2001's top ten!
