From the artist who brought us the award-winning CD, Scenic Listening, comes Wood's much anticipated second album, Sacred. Gregorian Chant and various ancient voices are artfully woven to channel the wisdom of the ages. Perfectly blended with beautiful piano and string melodies guided by energizing rhythms, Wood's music will take you to a place that is, above all . . . Sacred.
"I wondered how Wood would follow up "Scenic Listening", one of the best original new age CDs since its release in 2001. Like "SL", "Sacred" is beautifully relaxing but this time the spiritual underpinnings are more obvious. Wood blends ancient Gregorian and native American voices with modern textures / accompaniments, resulting in emotionally moving music unlike any other. Graceful, joyous, peaceful and wise, "Sacred" is a worthy successor to "SL". Check it out!"
Great for Meditation

"Wow, I was VERY impressed with this blending of spiritual vignettes! It has risen to the top of my list for meditation. At first I was a little hesitant about the mix of styles - - Eastern, Gregorian Chants, Native American, but it all comes together nicely, evoking images of trascendance and worship. Nice Job! Highly recommended. The beat is hypnotic. I am putting together some of the songs with video clips for my own personal spiritual enjoyment."

Sacred Music, Sacred Place

"I was so pleased with the music I heard on this cd. I have shared it with others and they also were taken by it. I've collected many spiritual, world and New Age music, but I've never heard anything like this. Thank you Kevin Wood for such wonderful taste."
Nourishes mind and spirit!

"This album of highly original music sounds great on the first listening, yet becomes even more interesting on every succeeding play; you never know what's "around the next bend", but it always works. Like a kaleidoscope producing an ever-changing combination of patterns and colors, Kevin's layering of voices, instruments and "beat" makes the music sound fresh and new every time you listen. His knitting of Native American voices, Gregorian chant, electronica, wind instruments, an occasional keyboard carrying a singable melody, and even echoes of the English choral tradition evokes an all-inclusive spirituality with an underpinning of anticipation and exhilaration. A real masterpiece!"
