Album Description
Liquid Mind III: Balance, the third in Liquid Mind's elegant series of slow stress-relief music albums, transports the listener to a place of inner peace and deep calm. Like the prior albums (Slow World and Ambience Minimus), Liquid Mind III: Balance is serene and lush, electronic and elegant, and floats the listener along in a gentle healing stream of sound.

Bill Binkelman, Wind and Wire
Within minutes of first hearing Balance, the new release from Liquid Mind, a.k.a. Chuck Wild, I realized I was hearing a recording of incredible beauty and warmth. This, the third in the Liquid Mind series, is his best yet. From the all-enveloping comfort of the opener, Lullaby for Grownups to the stretched out inviting spaces of Laguna Indigo and the album-closer, the peaceful yet uplifting Balance I was flat-out blown away. This is easily one of the most serene and beautiful recordings I have ever heard. It's like falling into a feather bed of clouds surrounded by the violet glow from a setting sun. Put Balance on and feel the walls of your room disappear as you are bathed in true (as the sticker on the CD case aptly describes it) "Stress Relief Music." This will surely top many a "best of 1999" list by years end.

From the Label
The production values on this elegant album reflect the fact that Wild has worked with many world-class artists, both as writer, synthesist, arranger, and producer. Chuck is known for his work as synthesist & keyboard player in the 80's group Missing Persons, as studio sound designer & arranger for Michael Jackson and many others, as a songwriter (over 40 songs recorded since 1988, including You're My One and Only, #1 hit in Europe for Jennifer Rush), and composer Max Headroom (Emmy-winning series). When Wild started releasing the albums in 1994 commercially, the first people to buy the Liquid Mind albums were health practitioners, chiropractors and massage therapists, followed soon by other alternative healthcare specialists. Since the Liquid Mind albums became more widely distributed in 1995, both Slow World and Ambience Minimus have become favorites of stressed out people everywhere, and also of those who meditate, since this music has no percussion to interrupt the relaxing flow.

Customer Reviews

Excellent meditation music, one of the best
This is some of the most soothing, harmonizing and balancing music I have listened to. You can feel your breathing open and deepen as you listen. The music heals something deep within you and lifts you to a higher vibration where you feel more in touch with the essence of your being. The music moves from one beautiful harmony to another, each one adding to an increasing sense of relaxation and deep inner peace. I find myself expanding into some incredible states of consciousness as I listen. Highly recommended! Sanaya Roman, author Living with Joy.

Exhalted Separation...Uplifted Spiritual Consciousness
There is little in the material world which provides as the music in this ablum does...pure sanctuary. Within this music there is an expressed sense of a definitive line between the music, the physical world, and spiritual awareness. Simply put, it allows one to draw a line separating the mundane secular experience of pleasure and suffering from the infinite life, intelligence, and love ever present, but seemingly always beyond our grasp. It is a true sanctuary for the hungered heart, those desiring a "place" of peace and serenity. I liken it to special remote outdoor locations that I treasure, which share glimpses of the absolute divine nature within us all. If you're looking for a medium of unsurpassed tranquility for meditation, contemplation, or simply quiet relaxation, I haven't found any better music than this. I also listen to it in during a usual day in my office, when traveling abroad, while reading and when I go to sleep. I hope you enjoy this as much as I. I have never tired of it and would enjoy hearing from those who have also found that special "something" within it's feathered flight that goes nowhere in particular, but everywhere you truly want to be...

Stress relief for the Office
My wife is the new-age music fan. My tastes usually run to modern classical music. However, this unique album is as calming and relaxing as the reviews indicate. The album even has a warning label not to listen while operating heavy machinery!! I work in a high stress governmental job and find playing this music in my office greatly relieves the tension of my job and those who interact with me. The pace of Liquid Mind makes the music of Raphael or 2002 seem frantic by comparison. By combining music that doesn't "go anywhere" with great sound quality, this album is highly recommended.
