Michael Diamond says of Bindu, "impeccable sense of arrangement...a deeply meditative mystical listening experience...The last two compositions are totally expansive and leave the listener floating on an inner ocean of consciousness. I've been a huge fan of Grammy-nominated Michael Brant DeMaria...I have enjoyed everything I've heard by him, however...I'd have to say that this is my favorite so far...Michael has a keen sense of the healing effect of music, which is beautifully reflected in his latest release, as it is in all his music."

"With the great passion that is evident in every note of music, DeMaria has proven his ability to enrapture the soul and lighten the spirit...The swirling blend of piano, pipe, ambient music and percussion merged to create a delicate melody that takes an inner journey to the soul...The harmonies and composition are flawless. Every piece of the track is placed where it needs to be to create the maximum effect for the listener...Michael Brant DeMaria is the multi-award winning artist who has captured the essence of healing with music...It was a long cool drink of water for the soul and just the Zen I was looking for...this album is all about awakening the creative juices in all of us. It was very enjoyable and I can't recommend it highly enough."

"DeMaria recently received his fourth Grammy nomination, and I would expect Bindu to earn him his fifth in 2012...Although the album presents a journey and a progression, each of the ten tracks is distinctive and tells its own story through the use of ambient sounds, keyboards, Native American flutes, and voices. Breathing from the heart continues in "Anahata," accompanied by haunting voices and feelings of vast openness and effortless movement. I really love this one...for a rich spiritual journey through inner exploration, I highly recommend it."
-Kathy Parsons, Mainly Piano

"Michael Brant DeMaria elevates his musical artistry of ambient/new age fusion to the upper echelons on Bindu, a mesmerizing journey inward into soundworlds that can propel the open-minded listener to the heart of his or her own essence. As one of the first releases in 2012, it already must be considered a shoe-in for making most reviewers' Best of the Year lists...The album showcases the artist's considerable synth and keyboard talents. Whether crafting abstract ambient textures, tonalities, and percussive effects, or using loops or samples of instruments or voice (there are some lovely angelic choral moments on the album), DeMaria is staking a claim as one of the best at this kind of music... the music itself is masterfully realized and recorded and could easily be enjoyed simply on its own merits by fans of the ambient, spacemusic, and/or new age genres, it's easy to see why Bindu comes highly recommended. I believe it will be one of the highlights of 2012. Rating: Excellent"
- Bill Binkelman, Zone Music Reporter

"Bindu is a wellness driven musical experience from the directive of four time GRAMMY nominee Dr. Michael Brant DeMaria, who is conceivably the most accomplished artist in the field of relaxation/meditation music today. Fourth in his popular Healing Sound Project, the serenity of Michael's performance on Bindu reaches the pinnacle of healing music, this time turning his focus inward on the identity of oneself, and the identity of one another." - John Olsen, New Age Music World

Bindu is the fourth release in DeMaria’s popular Healing Sound Project and is based upon DeMaria’s 30 years as a practitioner and teacher of meditation. Bindu will be a journey you won’t soon forget!
