Wave Hands is designed as background music for folks into t’ai chi, qi gong, or other types of meditation. Very gentle Chinese melodies will wash over your mind and heart, sometimes it blends so delicately into the ether than you’re barely aware of it. The instruments, strings, flutes, etc., sound pretty authentic. My fave tracks are “Waterplay,” “Buddha Arrives,” and “Inside the Heart.”...Siebert composed and performed the music himself; it’s not going to inspire you to clean your house, but I would say for the most part he fulfills his meditative mission.

This compilation album explores a selection from ten years of recordings by Back To Earth. With a slogan of “too much comfort is never enough,” it’s a CD that’s full of lush backdrops, while keys, winds, strings, and guitars play melodies to sooth the soul. You can even crank this and get enveloped in a rain forest of long lush synthesized chords. Think, as in the case of “Children of Hope,” Enya. “In Search Of The White Shadow,” ends the CD nicely on a soothing piano tune. There’s floating instrumentals throughout. This one has charted on the New Age, Ambient, and World Music top 100.
