The Buddha nature can be defined as the quality of being present in the moment. In his latest effort, Buddha Nature, Deuter, an innovative German electronic pioneer during the progressive rock era and pioneer of today’s meditative and inspiring music, explores the elusive taste of stillness. Ideal for body and spirit work,this is a more abstract, but no less soul-soothing,album than some of his others. Featuring melodies that merge into electronic soundscapes,a soulful, uplifting flute accompanies the sounds of birds, crickets, bells and flowing water, helping you let go and go within. On “Amida,” Tibetan bells, flute and crickets evoke a nighttime walk through a moonlit forest, while the guitar and flute infused 28-minute “Illumination” feels like ajoyful sunrise walk and the title track “Buddha Nature” feels like a soulful midday illumination.Very calming, peaceful, hopeful and heartfelt, it makes for an unparalleled meditation soundtrack. – Jo Ostgarden
