What people are saying about Hotel Tara:
“Dubbed the “Intimate Side of Buddha Lounge,” Sequoia Groove’s “Hotel Tara” series echoes the latter’s proclivity for high quality global grooves, only with the mellowness factor increased tenfold. David & Steve Gordon, resident mixmasters on this ambient excursion, cherry-picked a simply luscious collection down-tempo gems for your lounging pleasure, chilled to the point of transcendent bliss. The opening track, “Navajo” from Jens Gad is a prime example of what you can expect across the board – sensual rhythms, a sea of fluid synthesizers and sublime melodies that bubble up here and there with the effervescence of club soda. Achillea’s “Shears from Scar” evokes a sunrise over the beaches of Ibiza and Win Meyerson’s “Samsara” finds a balance between corner jazz club chic and Asian mysticism. Great addition to the series! “

"New Age percussion legends turned creative mix-masters continue in Hotel Tara 2 with grooves from the
coolest DJs and artists, though blissfully and considerably slowed down and relaxed compared to the first
release, for some truly irresistible and lazy-edged lounging pleasure. The 12 gems highlight tracks
from Achillea, Jens Gad, Opera-to-Relax, MTC, and the Gordon brothers. The tracks seamlessly blend
mystical vocals, fluid electronica, ethnic instrumentation, and hypnotic rhythms. Check into
the Hotel Tara 2 for the most luxurious vacation for your mind and soul, and turn your customers on to this sexy and seductive piece of global electronica."
- Peter Manzi, Play List, 2007
""Funky" in a real good way. This CD makes you want to move - I mean hip gyrating, pelvic
thrusting and arms open wide floating and swaying kind of moving. I definitely have my
favorites, but there isn't a song on here I don't like. The Gordon Brothers are incredibly
talented with coming up with just the right mix. Kind of makes me want to go open my own club,
but then again, I don't have to, I have all the music I need right here."
- The Pagan Review, September 2006
“In 2002, Sequoia Records founders David and Steve Gordon began their Buddha-Lounge series of chill-out mixes. Showing no signs of slowing down, the Gordons have recently expanded their “nu-global” franchise under the Hotel Tara name. There are favorite artists from previous Gordon projects, including Opera-to-Relax with the slowly swinging deep chill of “Fly!,” Hands Upon Black Earth with the refreshingly funky, previously unreleased “In Between,” plus Jaya Lakshmi, who sings her captivating ballad “Pancha Tattvit” over gentle acoustic guitars. If you’re looking for soothing, mostly instrumental electronica that incorporates world-music influences, the Gordon brothers certainly don’t disappoint (and they’re also eco-friendly).”
