PartNumber: AManPro-0028496

Release Date: 10-07-2001

Details: Amazon.ca Though the disc's name suggests oriental roots, the music created by this German-born keyboardist (his adopted name is Sanskrit for "compassion") is primarily occidental in character. Built around simple piano melodies augmented by spacious synthesizer backdrops, flute, delicate guitar, higher-pitched Kitaro-like keyboard lines, zither, chimes, bells, and Eastern vocals, Zen Breakfast tilts heavily toward the yoga/meditation end of the New Age continuum with its assortment of slowly evolving soundscapes. Comparisons to Steve Halpern are inevitable. This is a modest production that visits well-traveled sonic territory without adding fresh ideas. Intended to be slow and restive, Karunesh's compositions sometimes acquire the tone of a lament, giving the disc an atmosphere that mixes clouds and light. Zen Breakfast is suitable for massage, but for best results shuffle-play it with other discs. --Terry Wood Product Description Weaving exotic voices and cross-cultural elements through his sparkling tapestry, Karunesh finds that perfect balance point where classical, world and healing music join, carefully coaxing love's caress from every note.
