Michel Bayan has spent over thirty years researching the effects of sound and music on the body and the emotions. After producing tapes for dentists to use as a stress neutralizers, Bayan created the Collage series of albums to assist in stress release. This sixth album has another purpose: to energize and uplift. For the most part, the music selections are hightempo, upbeat Latin- or flamenco-flavored music (Armik is a featured composer) with Oren Fader on guitar and Bayan or Arsen Tovmassian on piano. A chamber orchestra and some synthesizer work round out the sound; because this is designed to be background music, the mixes are smoother than hot Latin albums from the clubs. On the fifth cut, Amrik's "Meet You in Heaven," Bayan included relaxing sailboat and wave sounds to balance the pace. Michel Bayan created the arrangements, applying the psycho-acoustic principles he has learned from his years of research. So if the 3 pm blahs have you down, if your get-up-and-go got up and went, slap on Uplifters. You'll be back on the go in no time. (And if you overdo it, put on one of the other Collage albums.) ~ Carol Wright, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
