To be unique a spa must give people a sense of calmness in terms of the eyes, the skin and the ears - that is, lighting, temperature and music are the key elements. This new music CD from the SpaTones, called Blue Sunset, is an interesting atmospheric offering, suitable for playing in the public areas of a spa, or in treatment rooms to lull the guests to sleep as they are coddled and massaged. The CD is one long track, more than 40 minutes, and maintains a feel throughout which is soporifically pleasant. The SpaTones is a collaboration between two China music veterans – Evan Chen and Graham Earnshaw, and there is a slight old China feel to some of the sounds and elements. Hypnotic.
