Conferring With the Moon - William Ackerman Remastered Edition Audio CD (1998) | Relaxing Acoustic Guitar Music for Meditation, Yoga & Stress Relief

I like mellow New Age music, although I prefer the more electric, rowdy fusion music. But still, when a special album comes out that really shines as a masterpiece, you have to give The Devil his due. Conferring With the Moon is such a special masterpiece. I won't go into my personal musical history, although I have tried recording and putting my own songs together into an album, and I know that you never realize how songs are going to come together into an 'album unit' until you hear the album as a whole. And every once in a while, the right collection of songs just comes together and gels and becomes something special...an entity that is just greater than the sum of its parts. William Ackerman acheived that goal with this album! Some of the tunes are solo guitar, sometimes his guitar works as a beautiful backdrop for other instruments like a lyricon (sort of a flute-like recorder) on the enchanting title track. The flute is used wonderfully as a lead instrument, or the oboe. Other notable Windham Hill musicians pop up on this album, such as Darryl Anger on violin or George Winston on piano. This album is relaxing, beautiful, ethereal, surreal, and just an incredible, mellow, beautiful New Age listening experience....even for a confirmed fusion nut like me! Relax. Buy it, and lose yourself in the euphoria.
