"Composer Chuck Wild creates a synthesized soundscape that immediately catapults the listener into a mindless, floating state... images of clouds, ocean waves and even the weightless state often perceived just before flying in the the dream state." Linda Atnip, Alternatives Magazine

"Slow World is the second release by Liquid Mind (Chuck Wild). It is a collection of slow introspective music. Comprised of three long cuts between 13 minutes and a half hour in length, it is a seductive and extraordinary album. The first piece, "Mirror Veil", immediately brings to mind the classic early 80's release by Brian Eno, "Music for Airports" with long stretched out breathy samples. Emotionally it is music of breadth, power, and profound feeling. Using state of the art studio techniques , Chuck slowly unveils a timeless world of sound. "Blue Seven", the next cut, is a classic example of introspective space-music. As it slowly evolves it creates a sound world of exotic beauty and tenderness that captures the deep human yearning for inner peace and fulfillment. The title cut, "Slow World" is an epic 30 minute long piece. Infused with hypnotic dreamy contemplation, Slow World is the perfect nocturne for a frenetic age. This soaring, powerful music covers the full range of sonic exploration, from massive panoramas of expanded stereo sound to the quiet subtle ambient tone textures and colors of deep space environments."

"Looking for a more natural way to slip into sleep? One good side- effect-free option is music therapy. Phil Eichling, M.D., M.P.H., of the Sleep Disorders Center at the University of Arizona speculates that you can sedate yourself naturally by listening to rhythmic music with an ultra-slow beat, which may bring brainwaves into calming sync. Let this CD help you drift off to dreamland. The expansive rhythms, hushed tones, and shimmering textures on Slow World evoke the serene feeling of lying seaside under starry skies.” Amy Allison, Natural Health Magazine
All Music Guide
"Slow World is the second volume of Chuck Wild's Liquid Mind series. By many accounts, it is also the best. Wild has three very important qualities going for him. First, he is very talented. Second, he has a strong vision. And third, he is dedicated to the concept of relaxation and healing through music. This CD is a mild set of deeply psychoactive soundscapes. Wild has designed a sound that intertwines with listeners' brain activity and engulfs them with warm atmospheres. The soundscape has orchestral qualities that enhance the listening experience. It is essential for fans of relaxation and meditation." Jim Brenholts, All Music Guide
