Sanjiva

Artist: Sanjiva

This is the third album that Sanjiva has composed. It contains 4 long tracks and it represents a relative departure from what the Canadian artist has done in previous works. Here he uses the electronic sounds of the 90s: the result is fun music, trance music which will be of much interest to many new listeners. Anyway, it also have some traces of excellent ambient, synth-pop and other old and modern currents of electronic music.

"Initiation" contains five tracks, in which  slower and faster rhythm and sequencer structures are blended with ambient soundscapes.
The outcome, occasionally quite repetitive, is rather derivative and peculiar (with slight influences of Tangerine Dream and the general sound of the Berliner School) coming completely to rest on the final 11-minute piece "Re-Awakening the Buddha Instinct", a drifting, textural piece of quietude.

The first beat-heavy entry in Sanjiva's series of new-age-of-trance recordings for Ninetysix Sounds, Origin is also a completely solo venture, with none of the percussion or Eastern instruments included on earlier albums. Several of the tracks here are surprisingly up-tempo as well, though they also work quite well for meditation and reflection.

Radiance includes five lengthy tracks of meditative, slightly sinister ambient-trance, continuously mixed to create a single extended work. The dizzying acid lines of "Left Behind" and the toy-box melodies of "No Zone are two highlights

Sanjiva's debut for Ninetysix Sounds, The Journey is a seven-track, mostly beatless affair marrying new age and religious philosophies to electronic space music programmed with Moog and keyboards. Tracks like "That Is the Journey" and "You Are That" are alternately tender and reflective.
