Product Description
You've arrived in the ultimate luxury resort for your soul. Come into the lounge where you can restore your body, mind and spirit. Settle in as you join our visionary house DJs, the Gordon Brothers (creators of the original Buddha-Lounge series) as they carefully hand-pick the freshest sounds around - exploring the more intimate side of mystical multi-cultural grooves with this perfectly transcendent blend of sensuously hypnotic rhythms, richly radiant vocals and an exotic array of ethnic instruments. Featuring an incredible line-up of world/lounge luminaries including Althea W., Ginkgo Garden, Joe Weinek Opera-to-Relax, Peter Mergener, Artemisia, TAU, David & Steve Gordon and many more genre-bending mixologists. De-stress and unwind, as deep ancient wisdom meets with these mesmerizing modern beats to create the definitive nu-global soundtrack for today; perfectly suited for deepening your yoga experience, as the perfect backdrop for socializing or any time you just want to chill-out.

"If you need a compilation to hold you over until the next installment in Sequoia's "Buddha-Lounge" series gets released, HOTEL TARA is the perfect place to take up residence. Like that series, the album features a luscious non-stop mix of ethnic-flavored grooves, spiritual essence and intoxicating beats compiled and mixed by the Gordon brothers. HOTEL TARA ups the "dreamy" quotient, creating an atmosphere that is at once peaceful and soulful. The beats are low-tempo and many of the songs have a touch of Indian instrumentation as well as a subtle retro-lounge flair. Artists include David and Steve Gordon, Gingko Garden, Althea W., Jaya Lakshmi, Artemisia and others. This is a great album for anyone looking for music that is mellow and cerebral - it is perfect for chilling out to."

5 out of 5 stars Unwind with this..........2007-03-26

Smooth, sensous, soothing, and sultry. A couple of cuts a little on the "loungy" side but overall this is an excellent CD that delivers exactly what you would expect from the title. The quality of this stuff is definitely a cut above a lot of the other budda-lounge wannabes.

5 out of 5 stars A maverick New Age/Eastern hybrid classic!.......2005-03-25

I am absolutely taken into the beauty and harmony that is the album "Hotel Tara". I first heard this at an independent CD store recently and after finding out who it was, I instantly bought the new album and I am proud of my choice of buying it. This album reminds me very strongly of the Earthtone collection series from years ago. After the apparent and unfortunate demise of the Earthtone label, Sequoia Records seems to have taken the torch and "Hotel Tara" is a powerful CD. "Apollo 13" is a highly eclectic track that incorporates voice effects of a NASA space mission with a gorgeous jazz/New Age groove. "Govinda Hari" is an electrifying song with haunting Eastern Indian voices and a very entrancing melody. This is such a wonderful CD and I highly recommend this.

5 out of 5 stars Blissful Eastern Chill.......2005-03-10

Nothing less than superb ! This new titles from Sequoia Groove is a blissful voyage into the very best of Eastern influenced downtempo chill-out music. A provacative follow up to Sequoia's Buddha Lounge series. This album really transports the listener into some very exoctic and sensuous musical landscapes. I especially love the Jaya Lakshmi track "Govinda Hari" and "Apollo 13" by Joe Werineck which incorporates actual original recordings from the space mission into a lushly textured background of slow and sultry electonica. This is a great addition to any downtempo musical collection. If you like, Buddha Bar or Hotel De Costa you will love Hotel Tara.

5 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Music for Sacred Lovers.......2005-02-10

David & Steve Gordon have done it again ! Just when you thought it could'nt get any better, these musical visionaries deepen the mix even further. Hotel Tara bills itself as "The Intimate Side of Buddha Lounge" and it certainly delivers on that promise. This is an exotic and enticing blend of traditional Eastern music with the very best that Western downtempo-electronica has to offer, featuring an superlative assortment of the very best Sequoia artists and some absolutely alluring new artists. Likely the most noteable being the lead track "L'Heure Verte/The Green Hour"from Artemisia, the new Steve Gordon solo project with it's distinctive tabla beat, exquisite tamboura, sensuous guitar and luminous vocals provided by Jaya Lakshmi whose "Govinda Hari" also graces the album. David Gordon's new solo track "Floating" is also fantastic, melding chill-out and smooth jazz effortlessly into this delightfully transcendent tune. My wife and I have now found our new favorite CD for our intimate encounters and Tantra sessions. These Sequoia Groove titles just keep getting better and better and this one is perfect suited for the the Sacred Lover. Keep them coming. Absolutely delightful.

Ideal for yoga and the perfect background for entertaining or just relaxing at home.

Dubbed the "Intimate Side of Buddha Lounge," Sequoia Groove's "Hotel Tara" series echoes the latter's proclivity for high quality global grooves, only with the mellowness factor increased tenfold. David & Steve Gordon, resident mixmasters on this ambient excursion, cherry-picked a simply luscious collection down-tempo gems for your lounging pleasure, chilled to the point of transcendent bliss. The opening track, "Navajo" from Jens Gad is a prime example of what you can expect across the board - sensual rhythms, a sea of fluid synthesizers and sublime melodies that bubble up here and there with the effervescence of club soda. Achillea's "Shears from Scar" evokes a sunrise over the beaches of Ibiza and Win Meyerson's "Samsara" finds a balance between corner jazz club chic and Asian mysticism. Great addition to the series!

5 out of 5 stars An excellent compilation to do just about anything while listening!.......2006-09-15

This album is now a favorite of mine. The Gordon Brothers have done it again! When they say the rhythms are entrancing, they forgot to mention infectious. You get grooving in that other world dimension of their musical tasty treats, and it leaves you wanting to go back for more and play it again. There are so many great tracks on this album that I could go into each one, but my favorites have to be the following. Shears from Scar by Achillea, which echoes a distant place and time filling the room with the cry of sea birds, a steady beat, and Horlych's beautifully bequeathing voice recalling the tale of an ancient Viking burial find and the woman for whom once was. Next, The Temple by Marcator, which brings a temporal melody with temple bells, ancient instruments and whispered prayers. The Gordon Brothers have a catchy remix in Hunab Ku Transmitter, where they have woven together a combination of space twang, electric guitar, and percussion with their inspired chanting, to bring forth a transmission of a time and place of the past to the present. I really liked Steve's track, Vermillion Passage. The xylophone, electric guitar and a solid drum beat build to a "striding on down the by-way of life" feel, then blazes a musical trail of red dust as it goes on down the road. My most favorite track is Samsara by Win Meyerson. Win's marvelous piano glides with the soaring violin and vocals of Lili Haydn, in a cool samba with Middle-eastern riffs. The blend is a soaring right-on musical gift. The somba is impossible to not at least sway through, and you want to anyway, because this track is so beautiful. I enjoyed Hotel Tara #1, but #2 soars ahead of it. An excellent compilation to do just about anything while listening!

5 out of 5 stars I love Hotel Tara 2.......2006-07-25

This CD is fantastic! Great mellow down-tempo chillout. It completely transports me to a serenely relaxing place and worked like a charm when I put it on at a recent dinner party I threw. This is a really fine compilation. I love it!

4 out of 5 stars Check in to this "Hotel".......2006-07-13

Sexy, seductive, soothing ethereal electronica.

Great background music for chilling, a late night drive, or, well, you know. :)

The Gordon Brothers do it again; another flawless mix of global beats that will lift you up into the clouds and out of your daily stress.
