Gregor Theelen seems to be in love with rhythm. This album is billed as "intuitive music with live percussion," but even the music itself is very rhythmically based, revolving around beats and samples more than long melodies. But that works in his favor, giving a sense of constant motion to the music, as the percussion develops interchanges and works around beats suggested in the music. While the titles suggest different aspects of world music - "African Heartbeat," for example, or "Raga For The Intuitive Mind" - the sounds themselves aren't so much global as personal, with some influences, as it's apparent that Theelen has taken a great deal on board in his rhythmic journey through life. And the overall effect isn't one of overwhelming percussion, but rather a trance state from the beat. There's plenty of imagination going on her, and the work of a soul who's searching for something through his music - and is obviously on his way to finding it. Even though "Heaven Can Wait" doesn't have the progression and dynamism of the other cuts, this remains an excellent listening experience for body and mind. ~ Chris Nickson

专辑名称：大地韵律
Gregor Theelen看来正和节奏热恋着。这张专辑被宣传成为“生动的打击乐器营造出的直觉型音乐”但该音乐自身却在很大程度上以节奏为基础，以拍子和采样器为中心，而非以长旋律为中心。可这正是他最喜欢的方式，打击乐器围绕着此音乐所必然要求的节拍，铺展开来，交替更迭，达到了预定的效果，赋予这张专辑的音乐以一种不停歇的动感。尽管曲名暗示着世界音乐的不同风貌，如 "African Heartbeat非洲心跳" 或 "Raga For The Intuitive Mind寻找直觉智慧的拉格"【注：拉格是加印度音乐的一种传统调式，有一个主题，表达某方面的宗教感情】，但这些曲子与其说是世界风格的，其实更倾向于些许世界风影响下的个人特色，因为显而易见地，Theelen在踏上他一生的节奏之旅时，带上了非常多的行装。这张专辑的整体印象并非是占全专辑主导地位的某一打击乐器，而是节拍带来的心醉神迷。这张具有灵魂的专辑拥有许多正在发生的想象，他在他的音乐中寻找些什么，很明显他很快就将找到。尽管"Heaven Can Wait天堂可待"不如其他曲目那样连贯和拥有活力，但依旧给听者的身体和头脑带来一次出色的听觉体验。
