Product Description

From the artist who brought us the award-winning CD, Scenic Listening, comes Wood's much anticipated second album, Sacred. Gregorian Chant and various ancient voices are artfully woven to channel the wisdom of the ages.

Customer Reviews

Very Good
I am very pleased with this CD by Kevin Wood, got 2 of them, but before these I had never actually heard of him, they're both good.

Worthy and Wise
I wondered how Wood would follow up "Scenic Listening", one of the best original new age CDs since its release in 2001. Like "SL", "Sacred" is beautifully relaxing but this time the spiritual underpinnings are more obvious. Wood blends ancient Gregorian and native American voices with modern textures / accompaniments, resulting in emotionally moving music unlike any other. Graceful, joyous, peaceful and wise, "Sacred" is a worthy successor to "SL". Check it out!

Great for Meditation
Wow, I was VERY impressed with this blending of spiritual vignettes! It has risen to the top of my list for meditation. At first I was a little hesitant about the mix of styles - - Eastern, Gregorian Chants, Native American, but it all comes together nicely, evoking images of trascendance and worship. Nice Job! Highly recommended. The beat is hypnotic. I am putting together some of the songs with video clips for my own personal spiritual enjoyment.
