An instant calm...
I randomly borrowed a CD from a friend just to have something new to listen to, and was lucky enough to pick one by Michael Hedges. I know his work has gotten a lot of merit for its technical aspects and arrangements, but there is something more about this CD and his others. It has this hypnotic charm which always puts me at ease. I recommend this CD from the bottom of my heart to anyone. I heard that he has recently died, and I will mourn the loss of his music as much I would mourn the loss of a close and dear friend.
