This will take your breath away. Especially if your breath is rushed, or anxious or just consumed by the hectic pace of your normal life. It is ethereal without being contrived.  I am always looking for music that will soothe me if I feel too hurried to self soothe in my hectic workplace. I also look for music to play during birth and energy work that will soothe others. This is perfect for both. This is a guy and a guitar and things attached to this guitar that surely come from someplace special.  It is likely entirely unlike anything else.  It is a place to go, with an open gate.

So peaceful, if you like to imagine you're near the ocean...  But don't listen to it while driving... You'll run into a car accident {:(

Yeah that sounds pretty stupid but you can't help but think that that is what it sounds. It doesn't really change much throughout it's duration but it sounds equally jarring and comforting - some people might feel a little annoyed/claustrophobic while listening to this but that's only to be expected
For anyone who enjoys a little journey in their music

The bad guy here was one of the worst.  The hypnotism project was intriguing but also disturbing and the character involved had small chance to become likable because of it.  Still there were exciting scenes at the end that made up for everything.

Be forewarned when you crack open this book. The mind must be prepared and focused, with no expectations of stability or calmness.  And remember that anger management is to be dispensed with when encountering the townspeople of this novel, whose speech is never friendly, and whose intellectual capacities are almost completely atrophied. One could view them as a prank, as a dark joke perhaps from one or many of the Greek fates that influenced K into entering this miserable town, where it is clear that what he encountered has no value to him or anyone else.

Atypical or not, whether they form a statistical outlier or not, there is not one character in the town that has any redeeming virtue, except for maybe as a warning, as an example of what to caution yourself against becoming. For your intellect and attitude to have any intersection with these people is to follow the path of intellectual and personal decay, a path that will be characterized and determined by cynicism, apathy, and xenophobia.

Even if it is a structure of bricks and mortar, Castle Mount is a fiction, a place whose surreal inhabitants hold the populace in permanent intellectual bondage, with their minds polluted by an excess of veneration for authority, whether real or imagined. The populace, who are allergic to hospitality, where courtesy is never a part of communication, and who have no respect for themselves or their own potential, demand respect for Count Westwest, with the hair on their pathetic necks standing up straight when being confronted with anyone who does not show this unjustified and cognitively vacuous reverence.

K prefers to be a free agent, and therefore residing in The Castle would (rightfully) compromise this freedom and its corollary of intellectual independence. Embedding yourself in organized bureaucracy with its simulacra and exaggerated and ephemeral displays of power and you morph into the organization, with your opinions not your own but rather belong to a collection of entities and social structures that have no legitimate function. But K does not have an impulse to prejudge things, choosing instead to demand evidence for assertions about livability and suitability. His mind is intact upon arriving. The townspeople have it as their goal to remove it as quickly as possible.

Rather than a flock of crows circling around The Castle, it is more fitting to have a flock of vultures, who are ready to indulge themselves in its fallen citizens-those who have died a personal and cognitive death. It might be slim pickings for these birds though, as the skulls of the Castle dwellers will be near to empty, reflecting the lack of use of the neuronal apparatus, this being surrendered to the echelons of imagined power structures with their elitist and haughty view of common laborers who are undeserving of respect, who are invisible and indiscernible, like the F.F. Coppola maid of Mr. Waltz standing in his presence of the sitting consigliere Mr. Hayden, whose presence and humanity is never to be acknowledged.

There are many lessons to take away from this book, the most important being to always be aware of the impact of discouraging surroundings, and don't get used to disappointments, lest one conclude that existence is naturally a dark and hostile soup, the latter of which if not watched on the stove of personality will boil over and ruin ones emotional and conceptual apparatus, and fill it with cynicism and despair.

I got this DVD because I wanted something soothing to help me fall asleep. Fat chance! While the scenery was beautiful, much of the music was far from relaxing. One song would be soothing, but the next would be loud, thundering, or suspenseful sounding music that made me feel anxious and wakeful. At least every other song was that way. So...if you're looking for a film to provide some sort of aesthetic background to provide atmosphere, this may be the thing for you. However, if you want something calm and soothing to help you relax, I would NOT recommend this DVD.

"Whiteout" is directed by Dominic Sena based on a graphic novel by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber and adapted by four other people. In all this mess, it is clear that the suspense and energy of the original version was lost along the way leaving us with a very cold, seemingly unoriginal movie.

Kate Beckinsale stars as Carrie Stetko, a U.S. Marshal stationed at Antarctica for some reason. A murder is discovered shortly before six months of darkness oncoming and no one will be able to leave. She has an obligatory shower scene where you get to see a lot of skin before she bundles up in heavy sweaters and parkas for the other 130 minutes.

Everything that was scary and suspenseful about this idea in "30 Days of Night" failed to be captured here. People are so hindered by the wind and snow that they can barely attack each other. They are so bundled up, you can't tell who is the good guy and who is the bad guy while they badly fight each other. Inbetween short bursts of action, there is a considerable amount of down time where characters talk quietly to each other about their feelings and flashbacks. I really didn't feel that the set up for WHY Carrie was in Antarctica was really so important that it overshadowed the current crime! There's a murder and I don't get as much of a sense of urgency to finding the killer. It might determine whether they will be stuck in this cold dark place all winter and I feel like people drag their feet a little.

Action! Drag, drag, drag. Skirmish! Drag, drag, drag, drag. Surgery! Drag, drag, drag. Get my point?

Kate Beckinsale is a pretty girl, but she is much better suited for the Underworld movies and general rom-coms. I just don't see her as a marshal. She just doesn't look like she can kick butt unless we know she has supernatural powers. She might have abs but she's still so skinny she looks like she could be broken in half. She is NOT Michelle Rodriguez on the bad-ass girl scale.

Only pick up this thriller as a rental if almost all other new releases are gone already. And you'd be better off with "30 Days of Night" if you want to experience the graphic novel feel, the scary coldness of that type of climate, and have suspense and action worth watching!

Someone else called this album a dirge, a bad trip, and a bummer. I don't disagree with them on that- what bothers me is that they said it like that's a BAD thing! Locust Abortion Technician is indeed a disquieting experience from beginning to end, a distorted soundscape of droning, buzzing, and howling feedback that somehow WORKS. It's not something I listen to every day or even every week- but when I want to 'Acc-cen-tu-ate the Negative', this is just the ticket. It's the audio equivalent of kicking over a hollow log and grooving on all the pale, squirmy, eyeless things underneath.
There's a couple of duds- I could have done without 'HAY' or 'Weber', for instance- but overall, it deserves the legendary status it enjoys. The best track on the album (to my mind) is '22 going on 23', which is a masterpiece of dread. I don't recommend having this one play while driving out in the middle of nowhere at night... actually, no- that's the BEST TIME to crank it up and let that ominous sense of impending doom course through your veins like ice water as the feedback howls and the voices chant!

The EMDR part of the CD attempts to activate both sides of your brain which is pretty neat from an Engieer.
This CD really helped me relax and fall asleep at night I don't use it every day but if you want to calm down your mind to sleep I highly recommend this.

If you are in treatment I recommend this as well just helps because it relaxes you and allows you to stop the anxiety.
I have heard this helps with Migranes etc but you will need headphones and do not listen to this in the car like I said it puts me to sleep 90% of the time.

I saw the post by a lady being a Christian and saying this is against her beliefs etc.  if your beliefs are so easily swayed how strong are your beliefs in the first place we can't go about beating ourselves up and telling ourselves we are bad people. Believing in Jesus does not mean you have to stop believing in yourself.

This is about being positive you are a good person sometimes we need to look inward and determine what happened in the past that is effecting out present behavior.

I wish you well,

A very scary adventure novel, I felt chilled in reading it.  That it could really happen is what is so frightening.  One of the things that makes the Earth fragile.

I carry this book everywhere! I've had it so long that the cover has peeled off, and used it so often that it creaks when it opens.

It is rarely opened, but is useful for when I'm feeling mega stressed and wanting to bite someone's head off - just open any of it's pages, and you will feel incredibly calm.

My favourite has to be '<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Imagine/dp/B0000457L2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Imagine</a>&nbsp;yourself on a South Pacific Island, with no worries and only the sound of the ocean to interrupt your thinking'. There are also many, many other little vignettes and suggestions, which are exactly the right thing for pent-up, blood-curdling rage and the book itself is just the right size to fit into a jacket pocket.

My one objection, in agreement with the 1 star reviewer, is that some of the suggestions are a bit lame. However, they still work and are not meant to beat you with their brilliance. Stress is kind of irrational anyway and this book appeals far more to emotions than full on reason, as it should, since over-zealous reason causes stress!

In my ideal world, people would throw away their&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-God-Delusion/dp/055277331X/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The God Delusion</a>'s,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Batman/dp/B00004CX83/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Batman</a>&nbsp;film's and whatnot and would embrace peace and calm. It may seem a lame, even naive vision, but that doesn't make any less of a good and wonderful thing, were it to be achieved.

As it probably can't, then the next best thing would be for everyone to own this book... And what better way to encourage you, than writing a positive review! Go on - it's only 1p...

I have never allowed myself torture such as trying to play this utterly boring nonsense! It sucks to the core! It has no emotion, only boredom in a dimension I have never experienced. Do yourself a favor as to not hurt your mind with this priceless masterpiece of self-torture!

If you like really mellow, gentle music, this may be for you.  There is no singing or other human voices in the music, but it is very pleasant and calming.  I was actually listening to "free" music when I came across this group.  Really, if you like people like Jesse Cook and others of that sort, you will probably like this music (although this is not really guitar music).

i gave this film two stars only because of its stylized camera shots,and the use of the creepy music was a good choice but it all leads up to a bunch of nothing.
one over the top bloody death at the begining and a dog that turns on its owner by tearing at it's neck.
only to conclude with the killing of a witch that snores real scary and is invisible!!!
this is not the scariest movie ever.
i think it just might be the worst however.
