Ascending Butterfly's 'It's MY Birthday, but You Get the Gifts' Giveaways, brought to you by:
We are in the middle of the 'it's MY birthday, But You get the gifts' annual promotion! We started with Novica where I shared some great prezzies (including cute and meaningful bling), we then hosted a Lindt chocolate giveaway and we moved to music with the Rebecca St. James I Will Praise You CD Review and Giveaway!
I for one hold certainly nightly rituals sacred no matter how busy I am, and for me, while a shower is great in the morning so I can rush out the door quickly, there is something about my night time long hot bath that sets the tone of my night. I like to light candles and listen to soft music while in the bath, and I found a new CD that's going into my 'relaxation rotation', Truth of Touch by Yanni!
It's incredibly melodic and very soothing after a long day. You can just let the tracks wash over you like a soft spring rain. I enjoy watching Yanni's televised concerts on PBS. In fact the tour for this album is coming soon to a city near you, see Yanni tour dates on his website for a full schedule!

My Take:
Yanni's first studio album, Optimystique, was released January 1, 1984. I feel his music has stood the test of time due to strong composition, fluidity, and a genuine passion for music in it's purest form.
Certain tracks that stood out for me were #13 Yanni and Arturo because I am a long time fan of Arturo Sandoval! I was super happy to hear their collaboration! My second favorite is definitely track #10 called O Luce Che Brilla Nell'Oscurita. Before reading the jacket, I thought this was a collaboration with Andrea Bocelli, but the vocals were actually performed by Nathan Pacheco, lyrics were by him as well! Great track! For some reason I like to listen to operatic vocals while cooking Italian! :)
and last but not least, a third standout track is the last track #15 with vocals by Chloe, it stays with you, I wouldn't be surprised to hear it in a movie for some reason, strong almost haunting vocals! Notable Mention is Track #8, Can't Wait with vocals by Leslie Mills.
This CD is going to remain in my 'relaxation rotation' playlist, evening bath, night time driving, and I'd also add romantic dinners in, you can totally get lost in the music. This is a great CD and I defnitely recommend it!
You didn't think I'd forget about you right? Who loves you butterfly?
