About Liquid Mind VIII: Sleep
Amazon.com Music in the Liquid Mind series changes little from one recording to the next--good news for contented fans of the long-running bliss-out series created by keyboardist/composer Chuck Wild. The former Missing Persons keyboardist and studio colleague of famed producer Ken Scott (David Bowie, Supertramp) has evolved into a premier space-music specialist whose relaxing, gentle soundscapes artfully evoke the softer side of the cosmos. His eighth Liquid Mind installment, subtitled Sleep, is a lovely, slo-mo spacewalk through serene, gravity-free realms that consistently yields a sustained sense of well-being and calm. Deserving of a spot at the head table with ambient music's most sophisticated sound designers, Wild creates slowly unfolding, universe-at-rest textures using few of the supplemental sonic dimensions (space winds, angelic voices) often employed by fellow stargazers Jonn Serrie and Jon Jenkins. And he sidesteps the small dramas and mysterious fractals that sometimes add a hint of uncertainty to the otherwise like-minded works of Brian Eno or Harold Budd. Happily, you'll hear no new-agey crystal bowls or plucked harps, either; just a warm, resonant, faintly classical glow skillfully designed for relaxation and peace. Pull up a cloud, lie back, and enjoy. --Terry Wood Product Description Liquid Mind 8 is a collection of specially designed music to help the mind easy into sleep.

Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Wild trained for twelve years primarily in classical piano, singing in a cappella groups and choirs starting at the age of six. He studied music history and sang with the university choir while earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the University of Kansas. Four years followed as a Lieutenant in the US Navy, after which Chuck moved to Los Angeles in 1979 and became synthesist for Capitol Records group Missing Persons. For the next four years, he recorded and toured internationally with the band. In 1985, Chuck began an extended period of songwriting and composition, and has written over 100 songs and compositions, more than 60 of which have now been recorded for albums or for use in television and film. The Pointer Sisters, Tommy Page, Timothy Leary, Wink, Jennifer Rush, Thelma Houston, Glen Medeiros and Philip Bailey are some of the artists who have recorded Wild's songs.
