An Ethereal Odyssey of Body, Mind and Soul

""Love is the scent of flowers in the spring. It is the silent choirs of petals. Love is the song of the soul, singing to God."



Mehdi's music is striking in its depths and ecstatic in its heights. The poem alone is worth the price of the CD. Mehdi can mean "the divinely guided one" or "flower." If you can find some Nag Champa fragranced candles, it will heighten the listening experience.



This music dances around your soul coaxing you from the depths of your physical form. Mehdi's music makes you drift someplace between earth and heaven. Volume 7: Instrumental Heaven tempts you to escape your daily existence and experience a dreamy state of ecstatic peace. Your mind runs free where your soul longs to wander.



Heaven is interesting in its ability to create a longing for the eternal. The music sweeps forward and twists back and then surges forward again like the symbol of eternity. The blending of Piano, Live Orchestral Strings, Solo Violin, Cello, Flute, Guitar, Japanese Taiko Drums and Hammered Dulcimer is captivating and nurturing. Volume 7 is uplifting and "Flowers of Spring" is especially magical.



Full Moon brings in some of the more primal deep night elements and Clouds of Light has an otherworldly signature. In "Rain" you can almost hear drops of rain splashing on stone. If you imagine a flute player sitting beneath large trees and rain drops dripping and splashing on stones near a river, that is what "Rain" sounds like.



I think the reason this music is so beautiful is because it produces a floating "in love" feeling otherwise known as paradise. Mehdi's music invites you to focus on the moment all while your soul intertwines with the eternal in a dizzying dance of notes.

A TRULY SUBLIME ARTIST!

"Mehdi is a most captivating artist who stands out in a class of his own! Being the owner of a large collection of New Age music, I find myself returning repeatedly to his music, in which to find peace and relaxation. I have all seven of his volumes, with Volume 7 being my favorite. That is not to say that his other volumes are any less enjoyable. Each volume is unique in it's own way, as is each track in every volume. There is nothing repetitious in Mehdi's music, and that is one of the reasons that he stands above the rest. That shows what a true artist he is, that he is able to create such an unending repertoire of melodies. His music flows and weaves through you and around you like a warm, gentle waterfall. It has you floating on a soft cloud of pleasure, and takes you to mystical places in your mind, where you will experience ultimate relaxation, as you absorb this other-worldly music. I can't say enough about Mehdi, but I will say, that I highly recommend all his music to anyone who is looking for something "off the beaten path" of New Age music!I decided to buy his music based upon other Mehdi music reviewers, and I must say, I was definitely steered in the right direction! I can only hope that Mehdi puts out much more of this beautiful music in the future!"
