Divinely beautiful and totally blessed, the latest release from East Forest is perhaps one of the most incredibly gentle albums I have listened to for some time. This may be because Prana was recorded and created at a sound healing session during winter solstice (Northern hemisphere) that the music is imbibed with a deep sense of tranquillity - or if you would rather, a deep sense of healing: or it may simply be that the music was sent by the divine ones to reach out to as many as possible through the medium of modern technology, bringing healing and succour to those in need.
If you are having one of those days when you need a pick-up and change of pace this album is just the thing to lift the spirits and put that little bit of mo back in your mojo. Created in the nuevo-flamenco style of guitar each track, commencing with the irresistible foot tapping, hip swaying Janvier flowing on tothe Swan, which changes the pace slightly, then moving on through a eclectic array of beats and rhythms as differing stories are told, you find yourself looking at the day somewhat differently, particularly when you get to the end of the album. You find, magically, your spirit refreshed and your outlook considerably brighter.
This is simple story which talks about the death of family pets and the effect it has on members of the beloved pet’s family.

Apparently rough and tumble is out and being quiet is very important. Great text on selected pages “stomp” and “clomp” and how would a dinosaur book worth its salt not be complete without getting to utter “Raaaah” very loudly.
