I guess whitem8 knows well.

Listening gamelan music is one of the best way to generate Alpha Waves.
"How Can I Stop" has the same effect, too.

i used to work in a museum where there were gamelan concerts every week - amazing and beautiful

Yes, Gamelan is quite unique and beautiful. The school I work at, we have a student Gamelan orchestra, and often have professional dalams come to give shows. It is very calming, and quite necessary to help calm the big city jitters of Jakarta!

whitem8 and with sssoul,

Yes, Gamelan (karawitan) is beautiful healing music.

That's just Satisfaction backwards.

turn me on dead man, turn me on dead man...

For me there is a time and place for gamelan, and today was it, as I viewed a spectacular show, shot in High Def, featuring Japanese Kingfisher Birds. It was amazing and beautifully shot and had a very nice Gamelan soundtrack. It fit perfectly. And indeed it was all very peaceful.

What an amazing bird, an amazing show with a great sound track.

It was called Kingfisher, directed by Takahiro Yokosuka, shot in rural Hokkaido Japan.

Not to be confused with Gamalon the LA based prog rock band from the 1980's. That one record they made had some damn good guitar on it! I actually prefer it to the clips posted here. Not sure what was healing about them? Made me want to run and hide. Like latin catholic mass meets the wind chimes from hell. Sorry, to each his or her own. peace
