Release Date: February 14, 2024
Label: Chuck Wild Records
Liquid Mind XV-In The Love was just released on Valentine’s Day, which contrasts nicely
with the title, the meaning the artist conveys in the music, and the beautiful
artwork for the album. The person on the cover looks so free, with no
boundaries and nothing but the light of the cosmos at his fingertips. It is
like looking at a transformation that happens right before your eyes. And
hopefully, the music will take you to that place.
The album offers a diverse range of tracks, from the shortest,
“A Willing Spirit,” at 4:32, to the longest, “Sanctuary,” at a substantial
11:09. This variety ensures that every listener experiences the very best of
Chuck Wild, with seven full-bodied tracks of dimensional sounds. Whether you're
seeking relaxation or a tool for meditation, each track offers a unique
journey, keeping you engaged and intrigued throughout.
The artist performing that type of music needs to be in a
particular place with personal growth, a spiritual connection to all living
things, and a clarity of who they are and their purpose. That can apply to any
profession to give one success; however, it is more predominant amongst those
in the artistic industries like music and art. Those two things are
interchangeable and the same. Music takes a blank canvas and draws many scenes
through sounds. I find that fascinating.
We don’t always express an attitude of “Gratitude” in our
daily lives. I am guilty of that; however, I feel instant gratitude whenever I
have the time to listen to some music. Now, we are off on another magic carpet
ride with Liquid Mind.
As the synths softly introduce your road to the many things love
is delivered by, the feeling is one of serenity and healing. While the artist
does not claim to have the magic elixir to make you healthy again, the music invokes
a good feeling and allows you to relax. Its instrumental ambiance and layers of
atmosphere are beautiful, giving, and colorful, and the tones and frequencies
initiate a spirituality that many types of music do not.
“Soul Whispers” caught my attention immediately with just the
title. I started to think right away what that could mean, and indeed, it is
dependent on who you are, how you respond to sounds like this, and where you
want it to take you. I feel blessed to be able to take it all in on the listening
level and then take the next step to convey the reactions and emotions it may
generate along the way. My soul does whisper to me at times, and at other
times, it shouts when appropriate if I happen to be asleep at the wheel on the
road we call life.
The track felt soft and warm, like I was floating into another
portal of “being” away from where I was sitting. To me, that is everything, to
be transported in some way to move away all the cluttering of the mind and
whatever is in the way emotionally to receive the music’s message. I love being
the recipient of the sounds and conveying that to people interested in knowing
more about what I heard and how it affected me. And, more importantly, what the
possibilities would be for another listener.
Those two tracks I focused on encapsulated what you will hear
and possibly feel while listening to
In The Love.
They encompass over fifteen minutes of music, a sizable sampling of what one
would expect on the entire album.
The compositions' varying tempo, rhythms, and intensity offer a
listener enough variables to keep interest and a consistency that will allow a
continuous flow of peacefulness and healing. That was the goal of this
recording. The entire listen from where I exist in this time and space allowed
me to empty my mind so the music could fill my soul. That is my goal before listening
to ambient new-age instrumental music.
If you are In
The Love, then you are the love. It is all about connecting with your inner
self first, becoming whole, and being able to share that with a significant
other with whom you are enjoying your journey or simply someone you
need to share this music with because you realize how much they need it and how
it could help them.
All of this is important to sentient beings; to live is to love, and to love is to live. Stop at some point during your day or evening and listen to these tracks. You can use it to listen to it all, use select tracks while meditating, or if you need relief after a long day and a release of tension, it's perfect. The music’s simplistic and practical approach will serve you well whatever you use it or need it for.
