Customer reviews of Spectrum Suite

Customer Rating: 
Summary: Spectrum Suite is now Chakra Suite
Comment: After being named the most important New Age recording of all time by New Age Voice Magazine, Steven Halpern decided that this classic recording was ready for an update. The new version of Spectrum Suite, now called Chakra Suite, features additional music, new artwork and was totally re-mastered. A classic made even better by perhaps the finest artist in this genre!

Summary: A Relaxing Massage for Your Mind
Comment: A lot of people have trouble meditating these days. Our lives get so hectic. What I love about "Spectrum Suite" is that just listening to it is as good as a deep meditation. On a subconscious level we take in the notes representing the various colors (the full "spectrum" in "Spectrum Suite.") So without realizing it, we are very nicely balancing our energy. And all the while, it just sounds like pretty music playing in the background!

Summary: Spectrum Suite
Comment: Since hearing and working with Halpern's "Perfect Massage" recording, I have been a fan and have not been disappointed. Spectrum Suite though seemingly simple is amazing. I use it with clients for breath work, chakra balancing, and massage. The knots and blocks vanish much quicker with this and consciously working on the particular chakra. The recording helps the client be open to the work, helps through the process, and then brings it all together. As a practitioner I know what this music is. Even those who don't quite understand yet can feel it soothing a little or notice that babies are soothed. (Remember babies are closer to us adults to spirit - go to a powwow and watch the little ones dance and it is clear:) What is nicest is that not only my clients who choose this for their session but I too feel peaceful and balanced inside during and when the session ends. Chakra balancing has been known for centuries. So simple, there is really no need for complex composure to please one's mind when the purpose is balancing and healing the spirit. What a treasure, especially when paired with other tools to go with it(and this is how I view the music - as a tool. Simply through meditating to balance onself this music is a wonderful tool and assistance. Thank you Steve Halpern!

Summary: Spectrum too sweet
Comment: This recording has a lot to answer for, having spawned literally a thousand similar relaxation records. I bought it enthusiastically in the mid-seventies. How has it aged? Not very well, I`m afraid, the passing years revealing all too well its lack of musical substance. I will not deny that it may relax children and musically uneducated adults. But I cannot stomach his pretense that this Western diatonic scale rambling is being linked to the actual activity of the chakra system. This is the stuff confusion is made of, and Halpern would deserve more than two stars if he simply stuck with his ability to compose harmless relaxation pieces, not calling it music with actual ability to heal.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Steven Halpern is a seminal figure in New Age music, pioneering the market back in the 1970s, long before the major labels got hold of it. His merchandising touts the healing attributes of his music, which he dubbed the "anti-frantic alternative." According to Halpern, his sounds will tune your aura, massage your chakras, and stop you from smoking. His theories have been largely debunked as pseudoscientific, quasi-metaphysical fluff, (see Lisa Summer's book, Music: The New Age Elixir), which brings us to his first album, Spectrum Suite, originally released in 1975. Its 14 compositions float by in major-key improvisations that never resolve. Instead, he sends notes out into the clear air, the vibraphone-like tones of his Fender Rhodes electric piano resonating like bells in space. You don't follow Halpern's music, but float through it. More rhapsodic than Brian Eno's ambient compositions of the same era, Halpern would be a pleasant diversion if he didn't weigh his music down with so much New Age baggage. --John Diliberto
