Very cool and relaxing spacy guitar - not to be missed

"Wow! I've been a huge fan of detaching's music since the first cd. But this cd reflects how the artist has matured with his instrument while retaining that relaxing meditative flavor. I've always been skeptical about cds that are a series (especially in the healing arts realm) because there are a lot of artists that repeat themselves with their music. It seems be a challenge for artists in this relaxation music field to keep ideas fresh. That's when DTW steps in and changes all that. The tones and layers of guitar being played are phenomenal.
While playing this music, it is:
Very easy to sink into a comforting meditative field.
Very relaxing during a massage session.
Very cool to just even listen to."
A wonderful addition for relaxing music , for your library.

"I love the music of the guitar in this cd, it is just what I need after a hectic day, and when I just want to unwind, and let my mind think beautiful thoughts, and go to a place where I can just let go, and rest."
GET READY TO ENTER A NEW WORLD OF MUSIC FOR MASSAGE

"I found this cd Detaching the World Vol. 4 at the Canyon Ranch Resort in Tucson. After receiving one of the most cleansing and purifying massages ever (while this music was playing in the background), I couldn't help but think of how wonderful it would be to add this cd to my practice. After my purchase, I listened to it for almost a week strait before returning home and trying it out on clients. As a full time massage therapist, this cd has played during many sessions, providing a peaceful, relaxed setting with the music. As most lmts know, it can be very frustrating finding that happy medium of music that connects clients and therapists. I will tell you that the purifying cleansing deep guitar notes on this cd will not leave you or clients dissapointed. This one's a keeper!"

"I just came back fresh from my weekly massage session and felt the urge to write a review of Vol. 4, DETACHING the world. DETACHING the world has become a vital element in developing the peaceful and relaxing background setting for my regular weekly massage appointment. I usually play this disc in the car in order to prepare my mind, body, and spirit to fully receive a relaxing massage. Even playing the music for 10 minutes prior to my appointment helps me focus and relax.
Musician Emil Gagliardi has found this magical balance between complexity and simplicity with his composition styling and guitar performance. The intricacy of his music is presented in a rich, beautiful, and relaxed layered sound that isn't demanding or boring. During the massage, it engages me, the client, to focus on the bodywork I'm receiving without any unwelcome interruptions. In the past, I've had therapists use other music that's kind of relaxing but always has that 1 or 2 tracks to offset my center. You won't find this happening on Vol. 4. The music blends together so well that it's hard to tell when one selection ends and the next begins. I do know that from the beginning track to the ending track, the music gets deeper...and deeper...and deeper...kind of like a journey.
The first two tracks (Trickle Down and Clouds) immediately pull my body/mind/spirit into the massage and allow me to focus on the work being given. Midnight Moon, Tribute, and Native Land draws the atmosphere deeper which matches the hands on work perfectly. Honestly at this point in the massage, everything blends in so well together that I'm in another realm. The euphoric Peace wraps up the session and holds the atmosphere in a refreshing relaxed state.
After today's session, my therapist (who also owns this disc) and I briefly discussed how great this music is for massage. I relayed how her touch matches the music and brings out these great visuals and colors. She was telling me how this disc and Vol. 1 are both magical in creating that perfect balance of energy in the room. I couldn't agree more. If you're looking for a new style of relaxing music, look no further... Vol. 4 is magical, beautiful, and very different from the norm.

"This is clearly not what I would choose to listen to for relaxation. It is not calming to the mind or ear."
