Known and loved by fans of instrumental New Age for more than 10 years, Chris Spheeris enters 2000 by adding the sensually uplifting Dancing with the Muse to his already large body of work. Influenced by everything from the Southwestern landscape to Middle Eastern exoticism to ancient world mysticism, Dancing stretches into eight lengthy pieces grounded by piano, synthesizer, and subdued vocals. Gradually building in size and intensity to the nearly 14-minute "Invisible Hands," Dancing functions as a cycle, and as a soundscape for the internal life of seekers. For his part, Spheeris is not only expressing his spiritual and artistic evolution, but playing right into the hands and hearts of his most fervent listeners. --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews

Incredible, Original, Moving. He Must Have A Muse
I listen to A LOT of music. I purchase hundreds of dollars in CDs every month. This CD has got to rank among my best finds .... ever. I love new and exciting music that elicits an emotional response. Chris Spheeris effortlessly falls into this category. He amazingly combines multiple musical forms and numerous cultural sounds into a seamless creation of pure enchantment that grooves to strong and eclectic rhythms. Invisible Hands, the last track on the CD is so moving, you can almost visualize an all-powerful being creating the universe. A definite must for anyone who enjoys world music, new age or mood music.

Incredible Album
I have been a fan of Chris Spheeris for a decade and own all of his music. This album is incredible as with all of his previous works--it is rich, multi-layered, and vibrant music. Chris keeps his wonderful Greek heritage and adds a level of Middle Eastern influences to his music that uplifts the soul. I highly recommend this album along with all of his previous albums.

Hypnotic, Powerful, Sensual
This music is the most amazing that I have heard. It is powerful and hypnotic. It is sensual and erotic. It takes you away from your worries and stress. If I am upset, tired or overworked, I listen to this. It makes me feel beautiful and energized, yet calm and relaxed. It is a wonderful journey throughout the world. I would recommend this to anyone.
