Album Review
In the early '90s, a band called Enigma made an international name for itself by combining laid-back club beats, Gregorian chant, and whispered French sex talk into a massive dance music hit called "Sadeness." Founding member Jens Gad is working on his own 15 years later, exploring a more specifically meditational mode. Le Spa Sonique offers exactly what its name implies: smooth, soothing music designed to help you relax and "experience your own personal spa retreat." Gad is no goopy new age hack, at least not most of the time: his beats may be gentle, but if you listen closely they're fairly complex, and there are clear hints of a sharp musical intellect buried in the cottony softness. Notice, for example, the heavily distorted vocal that brings a welcome edge to "Navajo," and the beautifully arranged female vocals that are layered lusciously throughout "Cape Blanc." On the other hand, he's also not completely immune to the call of goopiness, as the saccharine faux-choral passages on "Glass Palace" make clear. Overall, though, Le Spa Sonique does a good job of balancing the purely utilitarian requirements of meditational music with the more visceral attractions of pop music. Recommended.
Customer Reviews
Great massage music
As a massage therapist, I'm always searching for relaxing, soothing, and refreshing music. Think I've found it. My clients have been taken to levels that they've never imagined before through Jens Gad's latest. Great for winding down from a long day, or rejuvenating the spirit when you need it.
Better spa experience than new-agey stuff
This chillout electronica is much better than that cliched new-agey stuff a lot of spas play. Mixed with some other mellow electronica by artists like Sasha, Delerium, and Moby you could have yourself a very relaxing playlist that will really take you away from it all.
Soothingly Cool and Relaxing
This is a great CD. Soothes the body, cools the mind and relaxes the soul. Great music to chill to, work to, relax and do yoga to or listen to on an mp3 player while taking a walk. Fits perfectly with my chillout electronic collection of excellent tunes and artists like Digital Moodz, Amethystium, Enigma (of course) and Achillea, Jens Gad's other project.
