I am looking for recordings that are conducive to meditation and relaxation. I have heard that music with a tempo of 72 beats per minute is good. I would appreciate any names of recordings or groups and any names of sources for this kind of music. Please include addresses for the sources. Send mail or post to the net. Thanks--Dennis Vogel, ATTIS Labs, South Plainfield, NJ

Oddly enough, all these are on CBS. I'd say also that Indian music (e.g. Dr. Lalmani Misra's vichitra vina album *Nectar of the Moon* on Nonesuch) would be good, as would a rather obscure Everest album of Gagaku (Japanese court music) by the Nippon Gagaku Kai. There's also an album of Persian love songs and chants on the Lyrichord label by Shusha which might serve well (voice backed by flute and percussion) (the album is called *Persian Love Songs and Mystic Chants*). Then there are Gregorian chant albums. I say this as a person who never has been seriously meditating, you understand... James Jones
