Aromatic Journey
"Inspired
in part by a 13-year stay in Tel Aviv (Israel),
Aromatic Journey is meant to retrace the Spice
Road, the route traders in aromatics followed centuries
ago. It stretched from India to Persia, Arabia and through
the desert to Israel, ending at the port of Gaza where the
goods were embarked on ships. Anstey's music, which
largely fits the New Age category, is first and foremost
Occidental in nature. A calm, spacey blend of keyboard
melodies and programmed beats, it leaves room for light
interventions by real instruments, mostly bass (Anstey's
primary instrument back in his days as a free jazz
player), guitars, bass flute (by Adam Szydel) and
percussion (by Abe Laboriel Jr., Eric Boseman and Bob
Wilson). The music only suggests the lands it refers to,
never moving deeper into local tradition. In fact, one
hardly feels any geographical evolution in the trip as the
ethnic elements remain the same throughout. As it is, the
album flows nicely, making sure to never confront the
listener with his or her ignorance of Middle-Eastern
music." -François Couture

"ich gehöre
zu den Glücklichen, die die CD Aromatic Journey besitzt
und sie jederzeit abhören kann, um mich von dem
Alltags-Streß zu erholen. Besonders 'Spice Trader' wirkt
auf meine Psyche überaus positiv. Weiterhin große
Schaffenskraft für neue CD's."

“To listen to Aromatic Journey
on
it’s own can take you visually through different
countries, their culture and the mystics that go along
with it. But I also use this CD as background music for my
Aromatherapy body work. The additional effect of the music
enhances the relaxation of my patients. It maximizes the
treatment for a total wellbeing, to feel afloat and
energized at the same time. This music and the therapeutic
touch are the perfect match for me to have a successful
outcome. I therefore use the CD over and over again.”

"While I wanted to tell you how
magical I find the sound of your music, I have to defer in
my admiration to an even bigger fan of yours; her name is
Pit, and she's been living with me for the past ten years.
She is a grey tabby cat. Although Pit has always been
finicky about the music I foisted upon her in the past (it
being a most unpleasant disruption in her life as a cat).
That's all changed now. When I turn on your tunes, she
bounds into the room, lies, down, and starts to purr. I
guess she senses, like I do, that your music banished bad
vibes from the room."
