For the first time the sacred images of the Tarot come alive as serenely beautiful music. To express the mysteries of the Tarot through music, the Gordons translated the magickal correspondesnces for each card into musical tones and harmonies, and meditated on each card, allowing the power of the Tarot to flow through them, through these special tones, and into beautiful new age music. The result is deeply tranquil meditation music which is also a powerful musical tool for mediation upon the ancient images of the Tarot.

This ambitious and fully realized project is divided into suites based on the Major and Minor Arcana of the Tarot; after translating the magical correspondences for each tarot card into musical key, tempo, dynamics and texture, the Gordon Brothers then ritually focused on each group of cards while allowing the music to manifest through them. The resulting instrumentals form a transformative journey that is deeply serene, smooth and tranquil; the melodies lull one into a meditative state while seeming to impart a psychic musical message, as if the cards themselves are speaking to one's subtle consciousness. The Gordon's musical tarot will certainly reveal many hours of listening pleasure.

The New Times
Those of you who are into the tarot will absolutely delight in this music. Those who are not familiar with this ancient teaching tool/oracle (depending on whom you talk to) will find this to be a pleasant CD or tape for meditation. Generous liner notes in the jacket will fill in gaps for those who want to know more about what they are listening to.

David and Steve Gordon's Music of the Tarot (Sequoia) may be the only album specifically designed to enhance the study of cards. Credit the two brothers with an imaginative contribution to the esoteric arts. This space music is great for meditation and study. You might discover new insights into your deck with the music and liner notes, no matter which one you use. Evocative and entrancing, it can also be suitable for massage of bodywork. If every picture tells a story, doesn't every story have a soundtrack?

The Pagan Review
I was astounded listening to this CD. After reading through the information included with the cover sheet, I sat back, closed my eyes, relaxed and just listened. The cards of the tarot do indeed come to life through this musical compilation of movements dedicated to different aspects of the tarot. The CD is divided into 2 different tracks the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The entire CD has an extreme ethereal feel to it, its magical and mystical, and needless to say it really made me want to get out my cards and do a few readings. Highly recommended to use during readings, meditations, or while studying the interpretations of the cards. This CD is another great addition to the works of the Gordon brothers.
