HEARTS TOGETHER

Hearts Together, previously titled, “Spirit Wood”, provides another set of impressionistic tone paintings with an adherence to the harmony of nature. The serene sounds of flutes, keyboards, harp, guitar and koto combine to form compositions with a simplistic, slightly Asian flair. Among those is “Luna”, a new addition since the album’s original incarnation, that features flutes and guitar woven into hauntingly soothing harmonies. 

REVIEWS:

“This is the fourth title in the “At Peace” series by Michael Benghiat, a gifted and
sensitive artist whose music is attracting attention from massage therapists all over
the world. His soothing compositions appeal to these professionals because they
remain appealingly fresh even when played again and again in the course of a day. 
There is also an undercurrent of energy running through the melodies, ensuring that
listeners relax without falling asleep. The reliance on the koto gives a strong Oriental flavor to the track “Japa” and “Voyage” is like an afternoon of sailing off the Atlantic
coast, complete with the ebb and flow of ocean waves. Those listening to the
meditative arrangements of piano, guitar, gamelan, flute and more on HEARTS
TOGETHER are sure to agree that Benghiat’s music is relaxation.”

“I ordered HEARTS TOGETHER (Spiritwood) and HARMONY (Music from Big Sur) for
help in dealing with migraine headaches that I had been suffering. The woman who
gives me my monthly massage plays Michael Benghiat tapes during my session and
I have found that I enjoy listening to them and that they produce a feeling of calm
and relaxation. So I ordered a couple for myself to see if they would work with
migraine relief. And I must tell you that they most emphatically did!!!!  . . . . 

You must market your tapes and CDs not just for massage, but for general every
day stress-busting.  The music can be beneficial to housewives, mothers and CEOs
alike. . . or for anyone who needs a reprieve after a trying day at work. 

I have listened to them a few minutes before bedtime and find that they help rid me
of any anxiety and allow me to relax and fall asleep more easily. You and Michael
Benghiat can help many people in this fast-paced world. Put a CD in the CD player
and sit in a tub filled with warm water and you are in for a transformation.”
