Description
Cut 1 is the extended half-hour version of "The Angels of Comfort" (taken from the "Elixir" album). This piece is extremely soothing, heavenly, loving, and peaceful, and it captures the energies of love - on a galactic scale. It functions as a universal healing comforting presence.
Cut 2 is the extended half-hour version of "Angel Play", (taken from the "Inter-Dimensional Music" album). This captures the light ethereal playfulness of angels and has the effect of "tenderizing" hardened emotions and softening the heart.

Liner Notes
This genre of music could be termed "classical New Age music". The philosopher Alan Watts has said "Iasos is doing the classical music of the New Age." This album is a "vibrational environment" of soothing loving angelic feelings - very nurturing and comforting. Pulse! Magazine wrote: "The Angels of Comfort" and "Angel Play", each nearly 30 minutes long, perhaps exemplify the best this genre has to offer." (Lee Underwood) HEARTSONG REVIEW wrote: "..a depth of expression few modern instrumental composers can duplicate." (Ben Kettlewell)
This music can be used for creating a sacred space, for meditating, body-work, visualization, hospice work, emotional healing, and for tuning into angels. It is well suited for relaxing the mind, body and spirit.
When Iasos first released this album, it immediately became an underground classic, due to its universal appeal. It was one of the first albums that helped create a new music genre now known as "New Age" music. And it still is one of the most cherished pieces of music world-wide. The Psychology Department at Plymouth State College had this music receive the highest rating, by quite a margin, for being "most like the heavenly music" heard by people who had had a near-death experience.
"5 TIPS FOR TUNING
INTO ANGELS"
by Iasos
1. Ask/Invite/Invoke
By universal law, as an honoring of Free Will, Beings
in one dimension can not assist beings on another dimension unless the
request or invitation comes from the dimension wishing to receive the assistance.
Consequently, angels are extremely "limited" in the extent to
which they can help you and/or interact with you UNLESS you invoke them
(invite and ask them to help). When you ask for their assistance, you literally
open the floodgates for their glorious Light to reach you! And if there
is one particular angel that you wish to call on, the cosmic protocol is
the ask 3 times in a row. This helps the one being called to distinguish
whether you are just "thinking about" them, or whether you seriously
want to "get their attention". This cosmic protocol also holds
true for contacting any higher dimensional being.
2. Stillness for Clear Reception
Emotional turbulence disrupts inner reception - like
static in radio reception. The calmer the emotions, the more detail with
which you can receive inner communications. When the emotions achieve tremendous
calm, then they become like a glassy lake, or a smooth mirror or window
- thus allowing the passage of information with minimal distortion. The
stiller you are emotionally, the clearer you can inwardly "perceive".
Hence, the expression: "Be still and know that I am God." The
stiller you are emotionally, the finer the detail with which you can perceive
angels.
3. Heart-Sensing
Though angels do on very rare occasions make themselves
visible to the physical senses (eyes & ears), this is not their normal
operating procedure. So you have to develop the "habit" of "turning
off" your external senses and "turning on" an entirely different
avenue for receiving information - your internal senses. I think of this
as "heart sensing", though others may call it "feeling",
or "gut feeling", or "intuition". Try "sensing"
angels with the feelings in your heart, rather than with your mind and
your outer senses. Like anything else, the more your "practice"
this, the better you get at it.
4. "Pay" them by sending
them LOVE
You can "pay" angels, in fact even "bribe"
angels, to interact with you more, IF you know how to pay them in the form
of currency that they value. (Okay, let's just say that you can "entice"
angels to be more excited about actually interacting with you.) Their form
of currency is just as valuable to them as hundred dollar bills are to
us. So what is their form of currency? LOVE! And Loving APPRECIATION. Receiving
love, for an angel, is just as rewarding as receiving a huge check is for
you! That's because their favorite game is to evolve, and receiving more
love from others immediately evolves them further! It actually expands
their auras, increases their personal radiation, and accelerates their
evolution. So why not pay them in advance? Send them the biggest blast
of love and appreciation your heart can muster, and then ask them to interact/play
with you!
5. Harmony in your aura and home
environment
Notice how when you walk into a strange house, sometimes
it feels "creepy" and you want to leave immediately, while in
other homes it feels wondrous and you just want to stay there? Angels experience
this too while interacting with humanity. If they are required to serve
in an area with {what is for them} "inharmonious energies", they'll
do it, but then they'll leave as soon as possible. Whereas if they find
a "heavenly hang-out" on earth, they tend to linger, because
it feels good! So if you wish angels to "hang-out" with you more
in your home or retreat, them make it an "angelic oasis" for
them: Have the radiations of your personal aura be a consistent sanctuary
of peace, harmony, and love. Fill your surroundings with beautiful objects,
beautiful music, beautiful fragrances, a peaceful ambience, pure sweet
nature or plants, harmony in all forms, and ..... most importantly, a sustained
atmosphere of loving feelings!
Enjoy your angelic friends! Love, Iasos

(well....sort of)
* In 1989 the Psychology Department of Plymouth State College, in New Hampshire was doing the main research on people that had had a "near death experience" - an "NDE", to correlate what their experiences had in common. For example, they noticed that most of the NDEs went through a "tunnel of light" or a "tube of light". And most of them were met by some very loving light-being. Most of these NDEs also reported hearing extremely "heavenly music". One branch of their research here focused on trying to find out what this "heavenly music" was really like: Accordingly, these "NDEs" were played many types of music, including classical, new age, and popular, and asked to rate each such music in terms of {how close it came to the music they heard, while on the other side}. In correlating the feedback of all these "NDEs", their research indicated that one particular piece consistently received the highest rating, and by quite a margin, for being {most like the "heavenly music" they heard} while officially "dead" or out of their body. The music that received this highest rating is "The Angels of Comfort" by Iasos, the first selection on this album.
This appreciation for Iasos' music by NDEs was also discussed in the book "SPIRITUAL AWAKENING" by Barbara Harris.
Reviews
* PULSE! MAGAZINE (the magazine of TOWER RECORDS
):
"In the late 60s, he moved from the East Coast to Northern California,
where he and his music have been inspiring other new age musicians for the better
part of two decades. When Iasos' "ANGELIC MUSIC" was released in 1978,
it immediately became an underground classic. "The Angels of Comfort"
and "Angel Play", each nearly 30 minutes long, perhaps exemplify the
best this genre has to offer." (Lee Underwood, March
1988)
* HEARTSONG REVIEW:
"ANGELIC MUSIC is an album capturing the talents of Iasos at the apex of
his career, an album with lasting appeal, and a depth of expression few modern
instrumental composers can duplicate." (Ben Kettlewell,
Fall 89/Winter 90 issue)
* NEW AGE RETAILER:
"This classic includes two tone peoms from heaven: The Angels of Comfort
and Angel Play. The sounds shimmer and glitter, and choirs of angels
seem to polish the road before you. Angel Play is my favorite. Magic
dust swirls while twinkles pick at your ears. It sounds sheer, like cascades
of light, while crickets serenade beside a brook. This music has been said to
most closely resemble the sounds heard by near-death travelers."
(Carol Wright, July/August 1999 issue)
* SONIC COMPASSION - A MUSICIAN SOUL'S REVIEW :
"I've known of "Angelic Music" from way back around when it was
first released. Over the years I've purchased more than one copy for the piece
"Angels of Comfort" has a uniquely deep and wide texture, even within
the top of the truly ambient/meditative genre. Way ahead of its time -- as music
and how it was produced.
I've communicated with Iasos off and on over the years and he knows that I am among those who consider that track a true masterpiece, and that I'll at some point compose a form of tribute to it in my own related style.
There's a deep compassion gliding throughout that track which crests in a subtlely woven yet powerful crescendo, which then recedes like a shimmering evening wave. If something in you feels that you and/or someone you know could benefit from such a trancendental yet here-and-now sense of Mercy, then you've found the right CD.
The track "Angelic Play" is lighter and, well, more playful -- and the two tracks are a very complimentary sonic marriage. (Phillip Steven Knight, Nov. 21, 2002)
* AmbientMusicGuide.com
"Whether it's "healing" or not is beside the point, although
there's no doubting the composer's sincerity. What really matters is that Angelic
Music and Elixer contains some of the most cosmic,
intricately textured electronic ambience ever to come out of America's West
Coast. It literally sparkles with life and light. Iasos' synth sounds are very
distinctive, lush without being overly glossy, and were the product of many
years development. It may get a tad cheesy at times but tracks like "The
Angels Of Comfort" and "The Decent Of Spring"
are completely lovely and make these albums a must-have."
Customer Feedback
"They (the angels of comfort) are so comforting that when I listen to it, it really gives the feeling of "Be still and I am there" loving you, enveloping you with my wings and you are flying with me in higher loving dimensions where there is no polarity but absolute unconditional love. I affects me so much that when I am tired or stressed I feel the tears running down and have the feeling of being homesick. I really fly with it, and whilst working, the body is down here typing but my soul is high flying."

"Yesterday, I opened them, cranked up my computer, put in your music, sat back, and was in Paradise!!!!"

"Dear Mr. Iasos,
I did not tell you how listening to the Sacred Sonic Tools and the Angelic Music
gave me comfort during a near health crisis when I had to go into the hospital
for a biopsy during the holiday.
I listened to your music days before and intended good health right up to that day. Trying to hear your music in my mind, I felt my angels were with me during this invasive procedure.
The doctor's office called to tell me everything is fine. I feel a weight has been lifted."
C.F.
It`s hard to find anythingt deeper than Angelic Music!!! I have different music and mucicians that I listen in different situations. Your music is for meditation... deep relaxation and for stimulating contacts to the higher realms. Sometimes I listen Your music while painting because there is something common in my art works and your sound!!! Pat Metheny Group, Vangelis and Constance Demby are my favoutite musicians as well for getting creative inspiration for artpaintings. Anyway, your music is the most deep or hi. It has given to me something more than I can say!!!
T.T
"Lately, I have also been noticing how profoundly some "New Age" music can alter vehicle on all levels. But the most profound thing I am noticing now is how some sounds can even help transport you to other dimensions. After listening to your Angels of Comfort last week, I began to move into the 4th dimension. My sense of time became completely distorted and I had the most vivid conversations with deceased relatives that I have ever had."
L.F.
"Hi Iasos, I received your CD's yesterday and the Angelic Music is absolutly the most amazing music I have ever heard. I can't explain in words what I have experience already with your music. Flying through the clouds is more graceful now and a lot easier. Thank you again, and St. Ariel likes your music too.
Bless you and your gift...... you're amazing!!"

"Wow! I felt I should listen to the angelic one first----when it came on, my heart chakra literally STARTED BUZZING.....and continued the whole time I was playing it! I have a 2 pm client coming in, a person new to me and to Reiki, and I am going to use this music today on ALL my clients!"

Dear Iasos:
I was listening to "Angelic Music" this morning while I was having my coffee,
and was remembering the first time I heard this back in 1983. It always makes
me smile when I think of the number of times I listened to "The Angels of
Comfort," first on cassette, then on CD. It was always the greatest during
lovemaking (I hate to say "was"!), and also during massage. You make me happy
knowing that your music is on my shelf. Yours,
C.D.
With the greate plasure I want to tell, that Your Angeli Music cd has made great effect. It has bee my most respective record for a long time. Relaxing moments with this music has taken me very hi, and after I have gone thru out of body experiences and reached a state on universal love. During all of my life there has been kind of kosmic connection stongly as my guiding light. Your music has even make it stronger.

Etherial, atmospheric, "new age" music! WOnderful for deep meditation and healting massage. Two 30 minute tracks. This music is for peace and tranquility. NO guitars, rhythms and the like. Heavenly, angelic peace! For meditative peace NONE better.
R.D.P.
This is music into which you can lose yourself, immerse yourself, and come out the other side feeling refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated. There are some people who see the world... differently. Who see possibility and magic everywhere -- and Iasos is one of those people. He has a gift of perceiving music as reality, and is equally gifted in being able to translate those musical etheric realms into a manifested form for the rest of us. Iasos is not the most prolific musician out there, but he crafts each piece, each CD, with a love for music, light, and magic that can be felt.
R.M.
Thankyou from your music... yes... I have said it before. It was last winter, when I ordered some of your cd:s more. Angelic Music has been my way to hi meditation for years. It is still the deebest that i have heard, ever, in this life. Realms of Light has became also wery important since last winter. So thankyou!!
T.T.
Since that time, for the past eleven years, I’ve been working as a clinical consultant for the State of Connecticut in the children’s protective service system. Over the years, I’ve found no other music as spiritually inspiring as yours, and I am again requesting permission to use "The Angels of Comfort" in the production of two audio programs.
G.C.
Please know that I have found you music to be something quite mystical. I find it to have a "knowledge" of my journey almost as though it is written for my specifically.

It was in the late 70 s, I was in university patching my life back together after a terrible war. It was well after midnight & I was cramming for exams with Music from the Hearts of Space playing in the background. Steven Hill played a long and wonderful song called Angels of Comfort. It was pure love. After all these years, that long piece of heavenly music still takes me to places were I cannot go under my own power. Thank you for the most wonderful piece of music I have ever heard. I so look forward in finally replacing my LP, my cassette, and my reel-to-reel versions. I am so glad you are still on this planet.
R.J.
I LOVE LASOS MUSIC! SO DOES MY TOAD. SHE LISTENS TO IT EVERYNIGHT THROUGH HER PILLOW SPEAKER. 'ANGELIC MUSIC' IS THE BEST. MY REPTILES LOVE IT TOO! THANKS! LASOS I MET YOU AT THE NEW AGE EXPO S.F IN APRIL 96' .....THANK YOU FOR SUCH BEAUTIFUL MUSIC*****...........love K.B. and EVERYONE AT " MAMA TOAD'S MAGIC KINGDOM"

I heard Angelic Music at a workshop and had to have it for my collection! My students are going to love it.
S.E.
With no patronizing intended,,I listen to Elixir or Angelic Music on a regular basis...I especially like to prepare food with it on in the background!!
L.H.
I was very addicted to the Angels Of Comfort.
I actually remember becoming so entranced one time that
I
called upon spiritual forces unwittingly when listening.
D.M.
Your Angelic Music is the tape I listened to most off and on over 20 years, being very deeply nourished by it many, many times. I had Liquid Crystal Love, too, and liked it, but it never triggered an experience like I just had with it. I guess you have to be ready. But I've just given Angelic Music to my sister and hope it feeds her soul as it has fed mine.
P.B.
I hear you music in first time in 1995,
it was be the "Angelic music", and this is experience to change
my live, really.
You create a very beautiful, powerful music for the soul, and it's very good.
S.O.
Some weeks ago, I found your site and
downloaded some streams of your music - and was totally knocked out!
Your Music is far beyond every thought that has ever came to life on this
Planet!!!
"Angelic Music" itself seems to be full of coded Messages and Chants
from entities living somwhere down in the electro-neural network of Machines,
abandoned Industrial Plants in interaction with Atmospherical forces... ...brought
to sound with your Synthesizers and recording Equipuement.
M.R.
I began to pray while listening to a demo and I felt my prayers coming from my soul in a way I never have. I felt all my feelings coming to surface and being able to express them the way I did in prayer was amazing for me.

When we lived in Lanikai, I installed a surround sound system in Mary's mom's room and, during the last week of her life, played taped music in the background 24 hours per day. For at least several hours, from about midnight, to 4 am, we played Angels of Comfort. I believe that was playing when she died. In the 24-hour period prior to he passing, she was semi-comotose. At about 1 am, the morning that she died, I was turning her and she suddenly woke up and firmly grasped my hand. She looked into my eyes and whispered two words -- "thank you". Angels was playing in the background at the time and I'm sure that part of that thanks was meant for you.
T.O.H.
I want to replace my two worn cassette copies of Angelic Music, the first is the 1978 mix (Galaxia Creations), which I used for many years in my classrooms at Sacramento State University. ... Angelic Music always touched my soul/body/mind so deeply because I, too, underwent multiple NDE's over a period of 4 years, 1978-81.
D.L.
In the Brugh Joy 17-day intensive as it was done then (1982), there was special healing session about midway. Someone in need of healing was brought in from the outside (then it was a wonderful woman with some serious problems). There were 44 of us, mostly doctors, psychiatrists, and psychotherapists. I was the one psychotherapist/clinical philosopher. Brugh conducted an intense psychological dissection with the woman, as we watched (sitting on pillows in a circle in a large auditorium). Then the woman lay down on a massage table in the center of the circle. Brugh did some pain-relief energy work on the woman. The he put on Angelic Music. It played repeatedly for the next 2 hours, as each of us, individually, when it was right for us, went up to the woman and gave her the loving energy that was appropriate for us and for her. The love and energy it that room was most extraordinary. After the session, the woman was escorted from the room. We were not told anything about her condition in the following days. But I feel certain that between your music and the work Brugh and all of us did, that the woman gained great benefit.

Dear Iasos,
Well, I received my compact discs and you were so right: "Angelic Music"
is so much deeper and richer on CD! I am so thrilled that I can continue to
enjoy it for another 20 years! Or maybe more. . . .I need this music so much!
P.S.
Hello Iasos,
I have never written to you and just felt that now was the time for that opportunity. I just want to express my thanks to you for your wonderful sound expressions! I have owned your Angelic Music CD for longer than I can remember - mid 1980's I think - and I never tire of listening to it. The "Angels of Comfort" do just that for me, and I am so glad that CDs don't wear out because I often play it on repeat throughout the night. You are blessed with a special talent, and I guess my blessing is that I have an ear to appreciate your compostions. Gassho.
G.L.B.
I am honored to receive a personal response
from one of my favorite artists. Your "Angels of Comfort" has been
such a healing blessing in my life.
Love and Light,
K.B.
Iasos - i want to tell you how much i continue to value & enjoy your gift thru sound - esp. Angelic Music, which you created many years ago. that may be my fave - i often leave it on repeat mode for hours on end and usually use it as background while meditating. the rich, heavenly textures & mindscapes that unfold soothe & nurture my soul. what a gift you are in bringing such beauty through.
P.M.
I've been listening to "Angels of Comfort" since I was 11 back in 1981. Absolutely heavenly! Thank you so very much!!!
M.P.
I recently brought this CD of Angelic music and listen to it all the time when I want to relax and meditate with the Angels. They come while I am listening to this music
I am a Spiritual Painter / Artist and one day while I was in my studio the very first time I played it I was beginning to feel a warm presence, I was feeling calm, my paint brush was feeling very light and I could feel myself going into a meditation to the music, as I practice this.
A.P.
My first exposure to you was your CD Angelic Music – it completely changed my meditation by helping me to go deeper and have more meaningful meditations. Your other CD’s are equally fantastic, but I hold a special place for Angelic Music as it was the first of your recordings that truly helped me on a deeper path of self understanding and hence self actualization. Thank you for all you do for our universal consciousness and connective ness!
M.W.
Dear Iasos,
I've often marveled at the 'world-within-worlds' you must live in! Your 'Angel
Play' became an instant favorite, um, decades ago [has it been THAT long?!].
R.R.
The Angels of Comfort should be in hospices and hospitals all over the world. I think I mentioned that Mary and I played it continually, for about the last 20 hours of Mary's mom's life and her last words, spoken to me about 6 hours before she died, were "Thank you".
T.O.
I listened to the first track and am deeply
soothed by it. The music is extremely similar if not exactly the same music
I experienced on earth in the days before life was even
here. "Red giant" is the term for spirits who have been here since
before the beginning of time and have chosen to continue incarnating (these
people are seen as having roots on their rose in the rose reading). Many psychics
believe that they had a hand in the actual creation process for this planet
and life here (don't tell the religious rightwingers). I have a few such memories
of that time, and my dearest memory is of a gathering of us after a very long
creative cycle. We simply celebrated by coming together in one place on earth
under the stars at night and expeienced this music. I've always thought it
to be the music of angels, if not God himself singing "thank you."
P.F.
I wish to offer special praise to Iasos, whose music I have been listening to for over 20 years. In the early 1980s, someone gave me a cassette tape of his Angelic Music. I was pregnant at the time and listened to it daily. (I wouldn't be surprised if his compositions didn't help create the incredible angel I birthed and raised, who to this day amazes me with her depth, kindness, spirituality and beauty.)
M.M.
"Angels of Comfort" is my #1
desert Island disk! (that cut specifically) you can quote me on that too.
All best to you,
J.H.
it's just GORGEOUS and really brings me into contact w/ my unseen friends and the "real" world beyond!!!!
H.M.
Lately I've been listening to Angelic Music cd and it's become very addictive; the music is very enchanting and crystal clear on cd compared to what I have on cassette.
C.S.
On a personal note, I am inspired by your Angelic Music CD and I find the tones to be amazing, bringing me into contact with a higher realm. You are to be congratulated on your achievement and should know that for me personally, I feel that you have achieved what you set out to achieve for the listener when you created the music (although music doesn’t seem to be the right term). It certainly has a profound impact on those who hear it. Warm Regards
M.G.
My favourite disk is "Angelic Music" - an absolute marvel, a gem full of grace and suavity, expanding one's consciousness into the cosmos, merging one's self into the starry vault, moments of ecstasy and jubilation - one yearns to melt into this immensity, to die...
