Excellent.......2006-02-27

This is one of the best Tangerine Dream albums that I own. Each song paints a pretty distinctive and beautiful soundscape. This is ambient music at its best. Music that you can listen to over and over without tiring your ears. Highly recommended.

Tangerine Dream's most ambient work.......2006-02-19

Ditching the more dynamic elements of their music this is probalbly the most purely blissful cd of Tangerine Dream's career.Great for reading,writing,meditation or just plain spacing out.Personally after about halfway through I began to miss the more exciting aspects of their music but as a longtime fan of the group I appreciate their decision to try something a little different.Pleasant but not exactly essential to Tangerine Dream fans.

It's not that bad...! .......2005-07-26

I've been listening to Tangerine Dream pretty incessantly lately, though I've been listening to electronic work for much longer (coming to TD via bands like Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode). When I first started listening to them, I thought, "Elevator music," or the sort of drivel you listen to at special "mood music booths" at the local Wal-Mart. Then I found a list on Amazon of someone's favorite TD albums, and gave old albums like Phaedra and Force Majuere another listen. Suddenly I realized the possibilities of TD for working my imagination. You can lie back in bed at night with TD in your headphones and really let your imagination take you places.

Now, with that said, what do I think of "Seven Letters from Tibet?" Well, as others have said, it's not the best. Still, I must disagree that it is their worst. The attempts at vocals (Tyger, Inferno) are much worse. I really appreciate the setup of this album; the "seven letters" work well, and the opening notes of the first track are very arresting.

This isn't an album that really draws your attention to it while it's playing. Instead of a crashing thunderstorm, what we have here is gentle rain that is just barely discernible outside; it relaxes and soothes without distracting you. I find it positive.

Moody, dreamy.......2005-01-17

Tangerine Dream took a rather refreshing approach on this release with its laid back yet very colorful tracks that induce a semi hypnotic state. Each track is quite unique from each other and often has errie overtones with kalidescopic dreamy chord progressions. This is probably my favorite TD release.

Solid ambient, meditative album.......2004-08-06

This Tangerine Dream album is an artful lushly sequenced composition. No percussive rhythms or beats here, just a stream of sonic atmospheres composed to evoke the feeling of different modes of consciousness, apparently associated with the 7 chakras and the rainbow of color frequencies and musical tones. This is not especially engaging meditative music, and the eastern instrumental sounds have an overly synthetic quality. Still, this album is effective as meditative background music and it has a bit of an unsettled feel to it, in case you don't want to be totally relaxed. If you are looking for something "different" in the way of relaxation music or ambient background music this album may be worth a listen.
