Carl Borden - Breathe (2017)

This album marks the second release by Carl Borden for the Real Music label and it is a real treat for listeners who are seeking a peaceful, contemplative album to offer them a momentary respite from the noise that we encounter each day when we step out of our doors to go off and to earn our living or whatever else that requires us to leave the sanctuaries that we all call home. ... Breathe gives you an exquisite atmospheric journey of almost fifty-eight minutes during which you can soak in the healing energy of Borden's compositions and let go of whatever it was that disturbed your heart/mind during the day that just ended.

Once in a while an album comes into your life that just blows you away. This can be said for the latest release from Carl Borden entitled Breathe. Borden's efforts are seated in the classic new age era of music and one can, with utter bliss, float on the ambiance created by this superb release. It seems eons since I have heard such a delightful resonance of sensual arrangements such as these. This is ambient music at its very best; Borden has created a musical area of outstanding natural beauty. This is a release that must be part of everyone's life. Its all-encompassing, all embracing warmth is rare, and the tenderness of performance is a place you will want to go to over and again, many, many times. A must get release, and one I completely recommend.
