The new ANNAAMALY (Phil Strickland) release Urban Metta, Vol. 2 is due out on
December 8th. It gives the
perspective listener some great advice. I just had to take this off his site
and share it to start of my review Also note the detailed information provided
in the track listing. This validates my
belief that every track has meaning and a story to tell. If it is instrumental
like this music, you have to listen very carefully.

Dear Listener –
Please know that Urban Metta, Vol. 2 was specifically
designed to be experienced with hi-fidelity stereo headphones and the SUBPAC S2
or M2 Tactile Bass Systems (visit www.SUBPAC.com to learn more). For the true
immersive, vibrational full-body experience, I highly recommend that you use
both when listening, if possible. Please contact me if you have questions
before purchasing a SUBPAC or stereo headphones.
I sincerely hope you enjoy Urban Metta, Vol. 2 and thank
you for listening!!
Peace & Blessings,
ANAAMALY
My introduction to
this music was in April this year and I was swept away by the grace and
vibrations that this one singular artist could create. On Urban Metta Vol. 1 I received further evidence of the healing
powers of music.
So now we continue this ambient, new age and meditation
outing on Urban Metta, Vol. 2. At
times music comes into a person’s life exactly when they need it. This applies
to an awareness of that need or a totally random moment in time. The listening
of music is spontaneous, it usually is not a planned event, with the exception
of radio stations that do that with a preprogrammed computer. That is a world that is quickly evaporating
with the advent of streaming internet radio stations and phone apps.
Uninterrupted bliss is what I call it. The point I am making here is that music
such as this, is something everyone needs. For me today, I am just wrapping up
working very hard for the last 5 days so I could have some time off to enjoy
the Holiday. Here comes the deep breath, a sigh and then another exhale and
some of the most beautiful ambient sounds to give me peace and some grounding
to mother earth. For this listener this is definitely about decompressing, being
around those I love and appreciate and reconnecting with my higher power. It is
about being grateful and happy that I am still here.
So, what does all this have to do with this music, or any
music for that matter? It is everything for me as I am sure it is for many
others. In this new age community, we all seek the same thing. There is the
healing power of music, the vibrations that can change our brain patterns and
with that, our overall attitudes. It has been proven in scientific studies and
there are professionals that administer music to patients requiring music
therapy. I think it is our own personal slice of heaven and artist like ANNAAMALY
are gracious enough to share their gifts of creativity through the music on Urban Metta, Vol. 2.
Make sure you check out Urban
Metta, Vol. 2 for yourself and let the artist know what his music has done
for you? Namaste.
