Search - Various Artists :: Weightless, Effortless

This second Hypnos compilation release follows early '98's landmark "The Other World," one of the most acclaimed ambient/atmospheric compilations ever, which won numerous "Top 10 of 1998" and "Best Compilation of the Year" awards. "Weightless, Effortless" consists of 9 exclusive new tracks by some of the most noteworthy artists working in this genre, both established figures and unknowns deserving of more attention. The contributors each created an expression of a central theme: that of existence without desire or struggle, indeed without intention. The resulting pieces express a restraint, a purity and simplicity, all too uncommon in music today. Even if you listen without regard to the theme unifying these pieces, you'll find "Weightless, Effortless" to be a wonderful sampler of some of the finest artist working today. There is a continuity between tracks, as though all the material were composed by one mind. Yet despite this smooth continuity, each piece is an expression of a unique creative voice, and conveys strongly what is distinct about that artist's personality. Let "Weightless, Effortless" take you to a place that is without ego and without wanting. Band Members: Kevin Keller, James Johnson, Dean DeBenedictis, Ma Ja Le, Rod Modell, Dave Fulton, Loren Nerell, Scott Fraser, Steve Roach
