It's been many years now but the first time I heard any of Mars' music was on Soundscapes on the cable tv. It was Sapphire Dreams. From the first note I was hooked. Every time I heard it, even when I was asleep I would wake up and listen to it and write the title down and the artist. Well over a period of time I had quite a few of my "notes" written down and finally, months later I took the time on the computer to search Mars out. I HAD to have this cd. So I bought it. Well, i'm a cancer patient and have been for some time now. But his music really touched my soul in a way that nothing else has. And that is a tough statement for me because i'm a person of faith and I would like to think that God stirs my soul more. :) Well, as I would listen to this cd while up at the treatment center, My blood pressure would stay down, and I wouldn't spike the fevers a person gets from time to time while having treatment. The days I didn't remember my cd. The treatment took longer due to blood pressure rising, spiking fevers etc...
So I started to share the cd with the others who was there at the time....... they loved it.
So then I went on to purchase Blue Maze. A little different but great non the less. Same thing. Then from there on I was on a search. As I was searching for more.... the local music store found some of his MindScapes, Moonlight was my first purchase from the group, then followed by Satin Skies etc.... They are absolutely amazing as is ALL his work. There are a few cd's I do not have but pick and choose the ones that really "move" me so to speak.
I also have his "Big Box" cds. Great to work out to. Really. Those are more upbeat etc... then Oh my gosh, the Christmas CDs! How can anyone ever listen to anything else again. LOL
Ok, as for the Moonlight cd. I just couldn't really get people to "understand" how this music can really touch someone's soul...... well, my husband had come down really ill....... could not sleep, was getting worse, medication not really helping and he was getting worse..... as most people know, lack of sleep/rest is one of the main reasons people do NOT improve while ill. Well, I begged my husband to just "try" listening to the Moonlight cd just for a while, while he laid on the couch....... WOW, amazingly enough, he was out like a light........ now when he travels he takes my Moonlight cd with him to help him relax etc... More than once we've struggled with sleeplessness and put the moonlight cd in and only to find ourselves waking up rested the next morning. We set it to replay in the player at night on those nights we fight sleep.
I now have my first grandbaby..... a boy...... he is now 4 months old and the only thing he really hears when he's here is Mars' music. The nights I have him all night, he goes to sleep with Moonlight. During the day it's several varieties of Mars' music.. I was hoping that with the new MindScapes that there might be some pictures with them as well. I'm not complaining by no means. Just love his work.
Well, I hope this isn't too much. In a nutshell, his music is healing, soul-stirring, calming, energizing etc.... he covers it all. I just know that myself and a few others during our treatment wouldn't have done as well as we did if it wasn't for his music. Treatment days can be very long and his music helped us get out a bit sooner I believe.
Thanks for listening.
HUGS to all of you

Dear Mars Lasar,
I've been a fan of your fantastic music for 15 years since The Eleventh Hour. I bought this CD in London when I was studying my MSc programme in UK. I was attracted by the imaginary cover at first and after listening I was totally drown into the soaring melodies and intensely textural audio landscapes. It was a perfect example of new age music. I've kept listening to your works and I'm so glad to see another new album of the 11th hour series has been released. I listened to the samples from your website and the music is as amazing as the debut 11th hour! I'd like to buy the album but as I'm working in China now and the CD was not sold in Chinese market yet. How can I purchase through your website and how much is the shipping fee to China mainland? Thank you so much.
I also hope your albums would be sold in China soon and let more people know about your music. As I know, there are a large population of music lovers of new age music in China and this is a huge potential market, I believe so.
Wish luck and looking forward to more enchanting music from Mars :)
Your faithfully,
Aiolia

Subject: The Eleventh Hour

Sometimes it's hard to say whether a work of art moves you for it's intrinsic value, or if it affects you deeply because of the events in your life that have brought you to a point where you can be receptive to it. When The Eleventh Hour came to my attention in 1993, I was nearing a crossroads in my life. The undercurrents of change were just beginning to push me towards the brink of a new phase in life. I'll always look back on the album in that way, a harbinger of my own personal change.

I cannot find a more " Hippy " way to say this but I'm so in tune with your music I haven't heard all the albums yet but... I own a few and one's The Eleventh Hour and its completely amazing, your music is pure brillance, I wish i could somehow help spread your music to the world because some people dont know that music can really play an important role in stress relief and with that an overall better life, I started writing this message saying I wasn't gonna type much but your music has been around me since I was young, I'm 18 now and I expose your music every chance I get... when I had a car your CD never left the disc changer, and when anyone listened, couldn't as hard as they try, couldn't fight the intensity. I would love to see your work in person.. Come on I'm literally I'm beggin ya lol just kidding but times are rough on me and that would be a great gift to a Big fan....All the way from

Subject: You Are The Master of New Age Music
I was in Massachusetts one weekend serving in the Reserves, went to the mall and started looking through the New Age section of the music store I was in and came across your album The Eleventh Hour. Having never heard any of your music prior to that visit, I thought, “the art work on the album cover looked pretty nice, I think I will give it a try”. As soon as I put the disc into the player of my car, I was forever hooked. I had never heard New Age music played the way you do it. I had goosebumps going up and down my arms listening to this album. I think I left in my player for perhaps 2 months before finally pulling it out. I played this disc so much that I wore out the middle part of the disc and it started skipping. I recently purchased a new copy of The Eleventh Hour and immediately saved it on my Windows Media Player for future storage on an IPOD. Your music is so incredible to listen to. It wasn’t long after that I bought Escape and Olympus. Then I learned you made some follow-up albums to The Eleventh Hour that I desperately need to get. I have only heard samples of 11.02, but playing “Cyber City” reminded of “Cellular City”. I LOVE IT! Until I got the link to your website, I did not realize how many albums you have done since The Eleventh Hour. I have been sampling them all and find them to be absolutely incredible to listen to and can’t wait to have your entire collection. I have a LOT of catching up to do. You are, the MASTER OF NEW AGE MUSIC, hands down. I love having discovered this genre of music back in the 80’s. It’s so surreal. There is so much enjoyment in listening to New Age, and no one who is a true fan of this genre should not go without adding the music of Mars Lasar to their collection. It’s like no Rock and Roll collection will ever be complete without having Led Zeppelin. As far as I am concerned, you have most deservingly earned that honor for New Age music.

The first album I bought of yours was The Eleventh Hour, right after it had been released, and immediatly reckognized it as something groundbreaking & different. Your ability to capture so much emotion & surrealism captivated me two minutes into the first track. I have so enjoyed your music every since. Another thing I appreciate is the sound is so crisp and diverse, I can always look forward to a fresh perpective with each melody, &/or album. Many of your tracks evoke visions of the greatest treasures in life; hope, reverence, peace, romance, tranquility, and not to forget,...fun. Thanks Mars, for helping the day go by a little better.

Just want to say I really enjoy the album Olympic National Park, I am able to relate to this album very closely. I was raised on the Olympic Peninsula and spent alot of time hiking and fishing in the Olympic National park in my youth. The track on Elwha River brings old memories to me, I remember back in time I used to be standing there on the banks of the Elwha and fishing for salmon and steelhead just off highway 101 and watching the now deplete 5 year salmon returning to spawn. It was amazing to see how big those salmon were and the power they had. This album makes me homesick for the Great Pacific Northwest. Thank you for restoring those fond memories of my 35 years of living in the Great Pacific Northwest. I now live in Northeast Texas

Subject: inseparable universe
when i first heard Inseparable Universe, i was immediately transported decades back in time to a rainy night in 1971 when i was stationed in udorn , thailand. i was deeply in love with a beautiful thai girl and we had went out after the rains had quit to go to a favorite restaurant for a late meal. we were riding in a samlar (a thai pedicab/ a tricycle taxi) through the chinese section of udorn when i heard the beautiful, ethereal, disembodied voice of a young woman singing to the accompaniment of a high pitched string instrument. we were on a bridge over a klong (canal) lined with houses that had balconies facing the water. i called the driver to a halt and my girl, the driver and i sat there quietly and listened to the song. it seemed to float on the mist rising from the river and strangely, the wind in the trees seemed an intentional accompanist . her voice quavered in the oriental manner, but it was so rich and beautiful. she seemed to be far away , down the klong , lost in the dark. the song faded and rose and faded away altogether. we sat there for a long while without speaking, just listening to the wind in the trees and feeling the cool mist on our faces. almost sadly, the drive mounted his seat, and looking over his shoulder to us said, "suay...... suay mak." (beautiful, very beautiful). my girl had her head on my shoulder and was holding my hands . i put my arm around her and we went on to the restaurant. hearing that song, that night, was one of the singularly most beautiful moments of my life. i had lost that moment to the dark mists of time and i thank you for bringing it back to me again. the voice in inseparable universe so resembled what i heard that night that it is uncanny. bless you for that song. i thank you from the bottom of my heart.

In my opinion Yosemite Valley Of The Giants is the best album Mars Lasar has released. Just listen to track 4 Tioga Road or even better track 11 Valley of the Giants - this to me sounds a lot of Vangelises "Heaven and Hell" with the beautiful vocals. But I think the entire album is beautiful crafted, of course only in my opinion. And make no mistake, you must like this type of music to appreciate it. This is truly the "Valley of the Giants"

A couple of years ago, I used to listen to an easy listening station (ez88 – Maynardville TN – now they only play standards). They played a song that captivated me every time I heard it. I called the station and learned it was The Blessing on your Escape CD. I tried for 6 months to get it and it was “always on backorder.” I finally found it at Amazon.com along with Fields of Gold. I made a copy for my daughters and my brother-in-law. We love your music and wish there were stations that would play more of your music. How can we help that to happen?

About a year and a half ago my girlfriend and I, who had been together about three years, were having severe difficulty in our relationship. Things had truly come to a crisis. It felt as though all hope was lost, and I was very deeply hurt at the prospect of losing her, and her me. I often fall asleep with my satellite radio on in the background. On August 27, 2005 at about 3 am I was inexplicably and gradually awakened. My subconscious mind was overwhelmed by the soft and loving tones which filled me with an openness and sense of yearning without conditions. My heart was consumed with a true reality and depth of my love for this woman, and the desire to transcend any and all limitations between us so that we might truly become one together, unfettered by the absurd inconsequentials that life often brings into our world to confuse and limit us all. As I fully awakened, I became aware of the lovely harmonies and the mystically direct theme that was caressing my ears. I also became exaltently overcome with emotion and began weeping in my pillow. I finally opened my eyes to view the scan on my radio. I wanted to see what this music was and who had performed such beautiful sounds. It read "INSEPARABLE UNIVERSE" from KARMA by Mars Lasar. It was at this moment I fully realized that she and I indeed were part of an inseparable universe, and I vowed to myself to do all possible in a loving and positive productive way to show her my true commitment to working things out between us. Soon after, we sought counselling, and much has gone on since, most of it a test to our togetherness, from illness to deaths, and even court trials. Amazingly, a year later, despite all our challenges, the Universe did finally open up to us in the most positive of ways on every score. We are now very happily married. Fittingly, "INSEPARABLE UNIVERSE" was played at our wedding. Thank you deeply, Mars, for reaching into my soul to help me see at a very tough time what really matters in life - unconditional love. This my wife and I have for each other, and it is sublime. Your music changed my life!

Subject: Christmas from Mars
Hi Mars...
Now, I know you've probably had your share of pats on the back for music you've created over the years and may or may not be receptive or even interested in that. However, we cannot allow this letter to pass by without stating how beautiful it is. In fact, Christmas from Mars 2 could very well be the most beautiful Christmas album we've ever heard. Given that I have a huge passion for music (and is a mystery why I never learned to play), then you can be sure that I don't give that assessment lightly. There is something deeply moving about the way you've constructed this album. You've managed to take the traditional Christmas melodies that we all know and love and morph it into something truly special. That takes great talent because more often that not, it's merely a repeat of the same old. Not in this case. This album is a tapestry and since we've had it on all day long here (on a sound system that warrants it), it was easy to fall in love with it straight out of the gate. Major kudos go out to you.
Christmas is a special season for many people. And, that certainly rings true around this house. We've had our decorations out since November 14. Anyway, since this season means so much to my family because we're a bunch of kids at heart, then this new album from you will be something that I can assure will be well played. Again, sincerely,
thank you very much indeed.

Mars Lasar is one of the veterans in the whole New Age music history. I was nicely surprised, when I saw Mars, here in this music portal. I can speak a lot about his creation, but I will set landmarks to his recent releases. For those who doesn't understand what I am talking about I recommend to get in touch with Mar's music right the way. Top notch atmospheric textures, with marvelous piano chords, great orchestration which was too innovative in the early years of New Age music - "Escape" (album'95), ethnic approaches mainly met in his album "Karma" and smooth beats. Although my favourite one is "Panorama 11.04". Great stuff and would like more to come in near future. The only thing I want to know is when will be the next release of Mars Lasar. Extremely recommend to all fans of this genre.

Hello Mars,
I am from the US and have been enjoying your music since I first heard "The 11th Hour" CD back in 1994. It has been a pleasure to listen to your music and hear the changes, or should I say, ranges of styles that you have used over the years. I am particularly fond of a track entitled "FINAL ODYSSEY" from 11:02. It sticks with me for a while when I listen to it. It creates an ambiance of a soothing transition from this world to the next. Yes, as morbid as it sounds, I would like to have this track played at my funeral. Anyway, that track along with several others within the Yosemite-Valley of the Giants CD, are very compelling and beautiful. How do you do it? What motivates your thinking in putting together an album like this and then turn around and do another 11th Hour series CD or the awesome Big Box CDs? You have a great talent in many different styles of music and I am thankful for artists like yourself.
Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. Keep the wonderful music coming. I am running out of CDs to buy!!!

Subject: YOSEMITE..BEST ALBUM
I collected eleven Mars Lasar albums over the last three years and could not pick a favorite album among the ten hours of diverse and innovative music. Having listened daily to Yosemite, Valley of the Giants for the last month, I suddenly realized that this is my favorite Mars Lasar album and the best CD that I purchased this year. Mirror Lake and Glacier Point are pure joy and the other songs are close to perfection. Mars Lasar is a landscape musician whose music conjures mental pictures of scenic views, like Sibelius' Finlandia and Smetana's Moldau. While I enjoy the songs with drum rhythms, the romantic, sentimental melodies like the Amy Lullabies and Royal Lake are inspirational and wonderful.

Hello Mars, I am Anthony, I live in fremont, california and was having a very awesome dream the other night. I was dreaming that I was in a large room, the size of a gym, but it was decorated like a room. There were about twenty four individuals in there, and when the master of the room flicked on the switch we had the ability to float and we were able to float around the room. The minute the master turned off the switch we were condemned to the floor. I woke up and because I always fall asleep to music choice on my t.v. when I woke up your song Rapture was playing. WOW it was a song that was my dream in music format, I got chills listening to the magical sound of that womans Angelic voice as it went up and down. I do Professional Acting, Modern Art, and Poetry.
I feel that your music can help compose the shapes of my modern art, Especially the 11.04 music. I would love to create some pieces together if you ever would grace me with your presence. Now I feel I need to collect all your music and tell everyone about your gifts.

Absolutely my all time favorite music, you inspire some of my best assemblage and abstract works. I especially like listening to your Blue Maze album, sitting on the porch in the summer heat, very sensual and relaxing stuff.
I'd like to hear more like it. Also like the Big Box and Vertical Velocity, great painting music...more, more more.
And of course the 11th Hour albums, take me to far away and exotic places, that show up in my digital works.

I am a singer with the Band of the US Air Forces In Europe. I tell everyone I know about your music who is serving with me in defense of peace in the world. I wish your music could be heard even by the ones we call our enemies, that it might erase their hatred and inspire their souls into recognizing the joys of being alive. I would love to tell the same thing to Swiss harpist and one of the greatest musicians to walk the earth, Andreas Vollenweider. Every time you have a new idea in your studio, I will look forward to hearing it.

Hi Mars! Looking back, I realize my neck injury is a blessing in disguise. It started me on the path for which I am intended. And I thank heaven for the angels that guide me to the musicians who have inspired me along this path. In a way they are like angels too. It is their music that soothes my soul and encourages creativity from within. Allowing me to fully express my inner being through music, fiber art and photography. I am now able to live life with more joy, love, and inner peace for which I am humbly grateful to the source of all creation. Before continuing on my journey, I would like to leave you with one last thought. I hope you are blessed with the company of angels as I am. "Angels are the light that illuminates our soul' divinity" - Kathryn Schein
Olympic National Park is one of my favorites!, the building at work has this incredible lobby 3 stories high, 40s yard across; semi-circular shape (all glass on one side) overlooking an 85,000-gal coy fishpond. It conjures up images while listening to your music!

Pans Panoramic Dimensions. Lasar's greatest in many years!
September 30, 2005
Although the original Eleventh Hour is without a doubt my favorite release of his to this very day and always will be, I cannot deny how supervised I was at how great his most recent release 11:04: Panorama really is. I could arguably say that this is second behind the original outing of this series and is even better than the excellent 11.02 from six years before. Unfortunately as of writing this review, I totally blinked and have missed the third one entitled When Worlds Collide as of writing this review. Anyhow back to "Panorama", the music on here is stunningly beautiful yet also powerful and while it has the spirit of the 1993 original, "Panorama" has a totally different sound altogether yet has the magic that turned me to Lasar's music from that point and will to my last days on earth and maybe beyond.
The title track is my favorite song on this entire album with a beautiful wavy electronic melody that reverberates between the left and right ears and a beautiful mix of flutes, African voices, and a beautiful trumpet. I don't know how Mars did it but "Panorama" the song is without a doubt the greatest song that he has composed in so many years and would easily stand shoulder to shoulder with anything on the original Eleventh Hour. The part of the song towards the latter half with the walkie-talkie voice saying "we're under oath" during selected holidays as well as saying that "Enron could become code" has forever struck a chord with me and I would say that even without lyrics, this song is one of the best socially-conscious tracks that I've ever listened too. Fabulous job Mars!

I have the "seeking serenity" CD and my favorite tracks are Inseparable Universe, Enchanted & Seventh Journey which I see is off your album Karma. I play the seeking serenity" CD all day long when I am at the office. I also play it while doing massage and a few other services that I provide. It's a great compilation to relax and trance out to.

that you took or a career that you followed because I want to be like you. I
am planning to study in Holland, but I don?t know what the name of the

How skeptical I was when I put the new disc from Mars Lasar into the CD-player. No more christmas-songs .. I thought ... not again? Holy Night?... I've listened to it a thousand times before. But what a surprise: each song revealed to be a masterpiece of subtle jazz-pop-music like Mars' incredible project, Hush - Blue Maze. Far away from trash and silly mainstream, but very exciting and sophisticated. All the originals are transformed by Mars into his own style of catchy melodies. The listener will suspect the traditional songs only for short moments. The rest is Mars Lasar's typical handwriting of completed music in higher spheres with rich warm textures of harmonies, fulfilling every dream of perfect music. Excellent producing, a feast for the ears.

Subject: Celebrating "Eleventh Hour's" 10th year of existence
Dear Mars Lasar
It's been quite a while since I last sent you an e-mail so I'll reintroduce myself. My name is Michael Carr. I'm from Chicago, Illinois, USA and I wanted to tell you about my experience with the ultimate New Age album that is entitled "The Eleventh Hour". Quite clearly, it's not hard at all for me to come up with the answer to which is the best New Age album ever made. For me, it's "The Eleventh Hour". It's not just a great album but it actually defined and altered a period in my childhood back in 1993 when it was released. I was just ten years old and barely diving into New Age music at the time but felt like it was just mushy meditation music but when I happen to hear "Cellular City" and then "In The Den" and I was hooked to "The Eleventh Hour" for life and my views on New Age changed forever. I now think of this genre as intense and awesome, perhaps even 'cool'. I love New Age that is intense and unsettling in atmosphere. I can still remember when my imagination ran wild and sometimes even crying from the depth of "In The Den" and "Children Of The World" and other songs from the CD back around that time and even remember the sheer bliss I felt when I happen to listen to it on a portable CD player when at a Botanical Garden near Chicago a few years ago. Those wonderful images of what the Eleventh Hour implanted in my mind absolutely run crystal clear today. I just wanted to write this to tell you that "The Eleventh Hour" is by far the best New Age album that has ever been made and that it altered a period in my life. I have a condition called Asperger's Syndrome, a very mild form of autism where I was completely withdrawn in my own fantasy world for the first eight or nine years of my life and although it took some time, I credit "Eleventh Hour" for bringing me out to the real world and now today, the album is a part of my life and always be. Every song on the CD is beyond words and EH has lost none of it's meaning at all and still holds up to this very day. Today, with all of the horrible political garbage that has been ruining this country (The USA), "The Eleventh Hour" I feel, is an essential need. Like it's theme (From what I'm guessing) is about the world being in jeopardy from the wasteful lifestyles of modern civilization, the album has a much more earth-shaking power right now because of all the wars and political crimes that the USA has unlawfully unleashed against the world and causing chaos all over the world. "Eleventh Hour"'s theme absolutely rings true to this day and even more so now with the dangerous times that we all are facing at the moment and I think that more people should take this album into attention, not only for it's absolute beauty and enjoyability, but for it's powerful messages and intelligence. I would say the same for "11:02" and "Karma". Speaking of "Karma", this might sound kind of odd but while "11:02" was intended to be the follower to 11th Hour, I actually think that "Karma" is the closest cousin to "11 Hour" and that album, as well as 1102, also defined a period in my life. When I listened to "Karma", I felt that it had just the right kind of odd, and sometimes even ominous melodies that I felt could easily have fit on "11h Hour" especially "Sacrifice" and "Tara". All in all, all three of these albums I mentioned are the best New Age albums that have ever been put into existence and I feel appalled at the lack of attention that they seem to get nowadays (They're hard to find and go out of stock often on Amazon.com and even in CD stores) and I feel that they need more attention today. I in no way am trying to necessarily promote your music nor trying to sound like an advertiser but I just wanted to voice my opinion on how your albums "11 Hour", "11:02", and "Karma" have played a role in my life over the years as they brought me out to the world yet also provided a temporary escape from the stress of the dangers that the world is facing with all these wars and their aftereffects. I also have been repulsed by the trends in music these past few years and instead turned back to "Eleventh Hour". I'd prefer the dark severe thunderstorm sonics of "City Jungle" and the nighttime eeriness of "Hold On" over the sunniness of current day rap music. I look forward to the next life-altering platter of music on your next album whenever it comes out as your music is absolutely intelligent and of top quality. I in no way am asking to try to surpass "The Eleventh Hour" as it's not even necessary to surpass it to create a life-changing work of art as that album established such dizzying heights of brilliance that I think would be nearly impossible to top but you never know. "Karma" came close to doing that. Anyhow, I'm gonna let you go for now. Whenever time allows it, I would be happy to get a reply whenever possible. I just wanted to write this message to celebrate "11th Hour's" 10th year of existence and how it has meant so much for me over the years since then.
BTW, Forgive me if I make embarrassing typos on my message, I make quite a few of them.
Yours Truly

Subject: Re: 11.22 Arrival - New release from Mars Lasar
I just wanted to let you know that I finally received my cd's and I have been in heaven...It's no mystery why I was "bitching for the cd's to arrive. (sorry my quotations will not work correctly') But listening to 11:03 was an auditory experience that I cannot explain. You are truly gifted. Several years ago I had an out of body experience that occurred during some back surgery...I did not have the typical bright light at the end of the tunnel type of thing. It was entirely different, with seeing my deceased father holding my hand but his eyes kept changing to the eyes of others that I knew and others I did not know. There was this beautiful 'heavenly' music playing that I did not realize until years later that came back to me every time I tried to "re-experience" the pleasantry that I realized I had not picked up before. I used to listen to Hearts of Space on NPR with space age and cosmusic it was similar but not exact. When I heard your strains I realized that this is the form of ethereal and indescribable strains that floated in the background. I truly believe that Mars "taps" his energy that "flows" from the universe and is one of the few individuals that are able to capture and create the energy that flows freely like a gossamer ribbon that knows no bounds. He brings it in to our dense earthly senses and makes it into an auditory nirvana.
I love the introductory heavy beat that lays the foundation for many songs, but then he has this "gift" of being able to fill this heavy beat with pure beauty of melodies that are the antithesis of the bead, regardless if it is Jazz, electronica or Techno...pure genius.. It truly is ineffable. Once again, thank you for instilling another chapter of the 11th hour auditory series...
Sincerely,
Matty

When my brother introduced me to your music I was listening to Mozart and Progressive Rock. You truly opened another page in my book of life. I tell people they have been depriving themselves when they have not heard any of your music. Then there are those who say your music is just ok. They don't understand. And may not ever. That's too bad. For they lack the 6th sense. We are all born with 5 senses. Just the selective are born with the 6th sense for music. I think you are the Mozart of our time. Your writing is creative and masterful. You give the ear so much to listen to without leaving the listener bored. I have been composing on my Kerzweil and Korg for over 10 years now. Mainly melodic slow instrumentals. I have a lot of your music. One of my favorites is Hisham's Somewhere In A Dream. That CD is all you. It could not have been any better. It was like you told Hisham to step aside and let me do all the work. His other CD's don't compare. Jeff Burak. Awesome! You should give a listen to Brian Becvar's "Once In A Life Time" Good stuff. When other people turn me on to other artists I usually tell them it's lacking or missing something. It's not MARS. You succeed them all.

Thank you Mars Lasar.
You have been inspiring me, my friends, and clients because your euphoric, and sensually delicious music massages our soals ever-so deeply and satisfyingly. I only dreamed of meeting you some day and I just got this computer and got automated this week after 7 years of listening to your music. Your the first person I looked up on line. The musician in me is awakened !!!... as I said to my self "I willlll learn to learn and enjoy the process of creating this awesome kind of brilliant music. And some day earn the right to collaborate in the production of music with you. Thanks to your music as first choice among my clients and friends. One of my criteria for selecting music for my massages is: I must be able to play it at relatively high volumes and it still contributes to my and my friends and clients piece of mind. You also inspired me to learn to play piano I bought a Roland A-90 in 2000. will you please make more music like Escape and Olympic National Park also Karma.
