Music review – RelaxationTunes.com

When I was given the opportunity to review some of the music available at RelaxationTunes.com, I didn’t hesitate to answer yes. Having previously listened to samples on the website, I knew I had the chance to explore music from a site that offered something that is not always easy to find – quality music for relaxation and massage therapy sessions.

I chose the title “Feng Shui”, a collection of music that I hoped would not only be conducive to the atmosphere for massage therapy, but would complement the type of massage I give. After using it in sessions over the last four weeks, I have also found it to be one of the few pieces of music that my clients actually comment on.

During massage sessions I have monitored the music played based on feedback from my clients to help set the mood and comfort level, whether through type of music or volume. I have been glad to discover that for the most part clients have a very discriminating taste in what they want playing while they receive work.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of this cd I have experienced, is that it is totally unobtrusive and never takes over the mood of the session, instead it helps create it. This has been one consistent point from clients as well, it’s there, but doesn’t become an abstraction, but more of a part of the journey they find themselves on.

Feng Shui has the same consistent ebb and flow throughout the compositions, never breaking breaking tempo or mood, only building on what it creates. The tonal quality is very tranquil, filled with high sweeping notes that are very uplifting. Some music seems to have built-in imagery and landscapes, Feng Shui allows you or the client to create your own and then simply stays along for the journey.

Feng Shui is simple in it’s composition and instrumentation, yet strong and enveloping with it’s soundscape. Whether for use in a massage session or something to simply relax and get lost inside of, this is one cd will not disappoint.
