EARTHWAYS is a follow-up CD to Chet Nichols' critically-acclaimed CD, RED MESA SUNSET. EARTHWAYS is a wonderful instrumental CD of NewAge/World/Fusion/Ambient music. This music is perfect for relaxing, working out, driving or meditating. This CD and "RED MESA SUNSET" were recently chosen as Top Twelve Picks by the Music Editors at eMusic.com. The music was inspired by "the roads of the world". The song, "Highways To The Sky", was dedicated to to the old Route 66.
EARTHWAYS also has some interesting technology embedded in it. Chet studied the effect of beat repetition, stereo gates, high and low frequencies, musical keys and tonality and their effects on brain patterns, meditation and relaxation. We HIGHLY recommend that you buy
this CD and put on a good pair of earphones and let it help you slip into a very relaxed state-of-mind.

CD REVIEW:
EARTHWAYS is different in several ways. First, the songs are longer. In a music world where we are surrounded by songs in the 3:30 format, Chet creates hypnotic, relaxing atmospheres
using a longer format. The songs "grow" as you listen to them. He weaves exotic rhythms with dynamic melodies. Clearly, Nichols has a master's touch when creating his comforting New Age music. What makes Nichols unique in this genre is his use of melodic dynamics and exotic rhythms. His songs build and retreat like waves on the shoreline. This CD has been "locked-in" on my 5 CD player since I first heard it 5 months ago. If you are looking for a CD filled with friendly, soothing music.....look no further. It doesn't get much better than, EARTHWAYS.
