Altered slightly (via additional instrumentation, including Halpern recording bass tracks for the first time in two decades), the new version amplifies what Halpern calls the \"world fusion\" vibe of the original and delivers a satisfying, globally accented soundtrack for meditation and moments of trance dance. Though at times bass parts lapse into predictability, the glowing \"In the Hall of Records\" can summon thoughts of Patrick O'Hearn, and the soulful, wordless vocalising of guest Melissa Phillippe, a modern-day addition, gives the title track a sensual, Pink Floyd-like aura. Along with Philippe's voice, flutes and percussion are the chief modifications to the original recording, and the ethereal bamboo flute passages (from Scjawkie Roth) that float across the stilled waters of \"Blues by the Ganges\" can quiet the soul. Halpern, a one-man New Age music factory, can sometimes present his faithful with some thinly developed musical notions. Not this time. While not a classic, this remake offers an attractive option to those who prefer hints of rhythm in their meditation music. --\nTerry Wood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 093791789025\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0093791789025\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e french\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42831584493827,"sku":"VO-9JAK-6HBD","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51a4vnzhPOL.jpg?v=1652933817","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/deja-blues","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
