Lotus Land
Gandalf

Štai, ką rašo mielas kolega Seržas Kazlovskis, iš kaimyninės Baltarusijos, įkvėptas šio diskelio muzikos:

In  commonness of everyday routine

To see the beauty of divine…

A man lives among the routine of the surrounding world of people. Befogged by the train of day-to-day affairs he stops to realize that these everyday troubles are imposed on him from the outside. And the man cannot be alone any longer, in private with himself. He always hurries up. He rushes through his life but for all that he does not feel it absolutely. A man has no time already to sense its flavour, to feel a joy of life and its everlasting love. It presents in splutters of a baby, in a glance of a beloved, in a gentle rustle of leaves, in a singing of birds and flickering lights of far stars. And this love presents inside every person and all one needs is to pause for a while and to look inside oneself. There is an inexhaustible ocean inside, and if one feels it, it can burst outside as a torrent, and flood everything around. A divine gladness slumbers like a lotus seed but the moment this beautiful flower starts blooming you can hardly find the words to describe this elation, delight, this divine love which is you yourself…

Gandalf is a great musician. From the very first seconds he plunges a listener into a stream of his music.  And you are being gently guided by it, you are just drifting on the waves of this music. Gandalf creates placatory surroundings with his gentle guitar passages, tender rhythms of keyboard instruments and pulsatile percussion rhythms. His music is full of forgiving love and heart-healing tenderness. It is very expressive and full of images. While listening to “Lotus Land” you can see, at a certain moment, a land you have been looking for a long time, follow the paths winding through its shady woods, sappy meadows and murmurous springs and, after you have come back, sense its light in your heart. And nobody can ever take away the sensations that are within you because it is impossible to take away the divine things that are you indeed…

Gandalf’s music is very positive. Prompting you to look inside yourself it arouses the desire to live a full life and act. And this action will be free of idle fuss and meaningless haste. Gandalf’s music contains an impulse that urges you to create and work. After all while extending love around you are extending love inside you as well…

A divine circle of love. Feel it together with Gandalf’s music. “Lotus Land” is the music which makes your life much more interesting. The life becomes more optimistic and bright…

At times of gloom and swindle

Among illusions that are dead

A mere light of love shall inspire you…
