Haunting, breathtakingly beautiful

"Lucia brilliantly uses keyboards and synthesizers, with exotic percussion, bells and flutes collected from her travel in Tibet and elsewhere, and while maintaining an interesting balance between sensuousness and a kind of Goddess-like otherness, invites us to explore the hidden-most recesses of our hearts and souls. Lucia Hwong - Celestial Realms is an essential recording for anyone who treasure this kind of haunting, ethereal music. It is touching, lifting, mind-expanding music that will brighten your day and make the stars shine with greater luminosity in your night."
Mystical yet earthy

"This music rocks both soul and body. Great for relaxation, meditation, good times, and fabulous sex. I don't usually like a lot of stuff that could be categorized as "new age," but Ms. Hwong infuses her music with earthy, street beats and infectuous riffs which raises it far above the usual cardboard-bland fare of this realm."
A sensual sensation that soothes the ears of the soul!

"After giving Ms. Hwong's first LP a spin, it was wonderful to find out that there was more where that came from! This second part brings you to the after hours lounge of the soul. It is deep, dark, yet so softly textured that it feels uplifting in a very dark sexy way. Worth a spin after 3AM! It works!!!"
