Dick Sutphen - Alpha Wave Theta Wave (2000)

Hello! We've got a real drone record here, one I've used many times to help me sleep. This is 2000's Alpha Wave Theta Wave, Which as suggested are alpha and theta waves meant to cause an altered or meditative state of consciousness. Great background noise for those who have tinnitus. Please enjoy!

Dick Sutphen - Stress Control (1990)

Another guided meditation and brain programming tape from Dick Sutphen with background music. I have not listened to this in a while, so I do not remember if the background music is something familiar to me or not.

Advertised by Sutphen as "The most powerful brain/mind programming tape in the world."

Stress Control

Karl Schaffner & Lothar Grimm - Meditation: Music For Relaxing (Date Unknown)

Karl Schaffner and Lothar Grimm make more great ambient music together in this album. It was re-released in 2013, but I do not know when the original release of this album was. You'll enjoy this one.

Daniel Berthiaume - Night Music (2000)

This album is probably Daniel Berthiaume's best work in my honest opinion. Great music and it really does make me think of the moon, the stars, and night time. perfect for listening to while lying outside when the crickets are out.

Enjoy.

David Storrs & Tony Selvage - Harmonic Dreamtime (Year Unknown)

This is a straight-up new age album featuring David Storrs and an artist named Tony Selvage. This one is beautiful and it's definitely worth a listen. The two work very well together in these songs.
(Sorry about the brief description, it's late and I have had a couple albums to put up tonight.)

David Storrs & Tony Selvage - Harmonic Dreamtime

Karl Schaffner - Mountains In The Sea (1984)

A mid 1980s Karl Schaffner, yet another classic released on Isis. I may have too look more into this label to see what other artists put out tapes on it!

This album is a great relaxing sound, Lothar Grimm's name is nowhere to be found on the tape art so I assume this is a solo release from Karl.


Enjoy the great "Mountains In The Sea!"

Dick Sutphen - 3 Altered-State Experiments (2000)

Altered-State hypnosis/meditation tape by Dick Sutphen, features music from David Naegele's Journey out of the body on track 1, Upper Astral's Crystal Cave: Return To Atlantis on track 2, and unknown music on track 3. Truth be told I haven't tried using these for meditation or anything yet but I plan to.


Dick Sutphen- 3 Altered-State Experiments

Valley Of the Sun Publishing's - Only Subliminals - Confidence & Positive Thinking (1990) FIXED LINK

This tape features excerpts taken from David Naegele's "Dreams of Atlantis", but also includes more music I have never heard before. It's worth a listen, it has subliminal messaging in it I assume- I haven't listened close enough yet.

Only Subliminals (This is the correct link)

Karl Schaffner - Flying Carpet (1984)

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Today we have a great spacey electronic album from Karl Schaffner (With a hint of guitar and traditional instruments!) It is entitled "Flying Carpet" and it was released on Isis in '84/ It has some great tracks on it, such as the ethereal "Passage", the jovial "Sailing" and the guitar backed chilled out "Longitude", among many others. I certainly recommend a listen. Lothar Grimm helps out on this album, much like some of Karl's past works I have posted.

My computer is going through some problems so there are a couple albums I cannot upload here at the moment- but as soon as I have the ability to do so I will upload them.

Daniel Berthiaume - Arizona (2010)

Another fine album from Daniel Berthiaume, I believe this one is self released. It has some nice, relaxing tracks on it.








Daniel Berthiaume- Arizona

Steve Gruskin: Interludes - Gentle Rain (1991)

Another great release from the Interludes: Soothing Sounds of Nature and Music series! Relaxing rain, sounds of the harp and synthesizers make up this release. A definite listening is advised and using this to help you relax or sleep is great!

An early meditation tape from Dick Sutphen with a metronome in the background. One of the earliest tapes that has been put up on this site.

Got some CD's for christmas, consider this Holiday Update #1! Here's a great release from Robin Miller, "Celestial Bridge".  I'm really enjoying this one, and I hope you do as well.

"Celestial music has the power to create a bridge connecting our world and our consciousness to higher spheres.  My purpose in this life is to utilize my talent to this end. As the music flows through me, my wish is for all who experience it to realize they are part of much grander design and are held in the love of spirit."
-Robin Miller

David Storrs - Sedona Sunrise (1985)

Another release from David Storrs! This time, rather than being progressive new age, this is true new age/ ambient. Enjoy, from 1985, Sedona Sunrise.
David Storrs - Sedona Sunrise (1985)



From press release: Inspired by the Sedona Arizona, energy vortexes. Imagine yourself at sunrise in the beautiful, high desert environment. Experience awakening in the vortex at sunrise; watch as the sun's first rays fall across the red rock canyon walls. Side 2 is "Night In The Vortex." A mystical wooden flute, a harp and ethereal voices merge.

Robert Slap- In The Caverns Of Your Mind (1984)

Another release from Robert Slap! It's pretty good.

Robert Slap- In The Caverns Of Your Mind

I'll try to get better quality pics later.

[from the insert] "High-energy New Age fusion msuic that is becoming very popular on the West Coast. Robert combines guitar and synthesizer sounds with percussion and the natural sounds of surf and wind, to generate a very exciting musical excursion in which you'll explore the limitless internal harmonies of your mind. The album is a collection of themes that will trigger internal responses, including chakra stimulationl (c) 1984 by Robert Slap. Engineer: Dan Hillard Catalogue number AM123. Stereo.
