Soma

 
Klaus Wiese - Soma (2018 Version)


Soma, in ancient Vedic writings, was a strong drink that could help one commune with gods. It also meant "body" to the ancient Greeks. Klaus describes the album as "inner space music" and that description is accurate. These atmospheres, built upon low drones, are perfect for exploring the psyche and the soul. Building upon Wiese's description, the surest way to the inner self is through the exploration of the external self and the environment. This CD is totally atmospheric and mesmerizing. There are no distractions and there is an infinite number of hidden meanings. The psyche of the listener determines the route of the journey.
