Robert Walmsley, Musical Soundscapes
"With Feng Shui: The Eightfold Path, Chinmaya Dunster aims to evoke the Buddhist path of inner Feng Shui rather than outer Feng Shui, the art of placement in the outer world to aide energy flow. Using an eclectic group of instruments, Dunster carries us along the path of right mindfullness, right views, right livlihood, right samadhi, rightmorality, right effort, right speech and right intention. In this context the word right has no connotatiuon of right versus wrong, only indicating harmony, ballance tranquillity.
Dunster took his experience of these eight paths and created inspired music reflecting the qualities of each one. Playing Sarod, Celtic Harp, santoor, guitar, bass, keyboards and percussion, Dunster conjures a magical realm connecting mind, body and spirit. Violin , flute, penny whistle, hammered dulcimer, frame drum and more all contribute to the unique blend of East and West that is at the heart of Feng Shui: The Eightfold Path. This peacefull music is perfect for quiet contemplation, deep relaxation, meditation, and message. Perhaps the finest Feng Shui music title available, Feng Shui: The Eightfold Path is sure to prove popular wherever it's heard." Steve Ryals, New Age Retailer Magazine Jan/Feb 2001
"A mellow, soothing, and engaging fusion of world instruments, including sarod, santoor, Celtic harp, hammered dulcimer, guitar and flutes. This CD aims to 'evoke the inner Feng Shui - known to Buddhists as the Eightfold Path - the essence of which brings transformation to our inner world.' Descriptions of the Path's eight aspects are included, along with suggestions regarding each track's use. I found it impressive that Dunster's music is genuinely appealing in it's own right. Gracefully coherent, without that redundant feel which too often occumponies flowing New Age sounds. With this vivid packet's clear spirit - involved purpose and the corresponding images/intensions for each track, this CD should easily find itself in many, varied, and eager hands."
SM. NAPRA Review Sept/Oct 2000
"Dunster blends sacred sounds from buddhist lands of the East with acoustic instruments from around the world - the sarod and santoor from india, Celtic harp, flute and guitar. Seeking to envoke the listener's own Feng Shui, or inner space, each track is named for what Buddhists call the Eightfold Path - right mindfullness, right views, right livlihood, right samadhi, rightmorality, right effort, right speech and right intention."
