by Jim Brenholts For The Heart of Reiki, Andreas Mock expanded Merlin's Magic to include Heidrun Menzel and Thomas Hirt on flutes and Günther Luderer on violin. Mock is on keyboards and guitars. He has fashioned a very nice career by creating music to accompany the healing art of Reiki. This deep and smooth soundscape comes as one long-form composition (about 60 minutes long) with several atmospheres and high energy within. The light touches and easy arrangements will appeal to listeners on a higher plane. This is symphonic synthesizer music at its best. This disc will appeal to fans of Kitaro, Deuter, Vangelis, and Jonathan Goldman.
