'Endless Wave: Volume One' was originally released on their own private label in 1996 on CD. Comprised of a selection of their past recordings, the first part acts as a seductive entry point into their rhythmic sound world, with Roth's voice intoning gentle instructions over each track. The opener 'Body Parts' commences with a series of rolling polyrhythmic beats to prepare the body for meditation. From there the music shifts through a series of ambient moods that evoke each of the '5Rhythm' states of being. Atmospheric synths and stately violins combine to help ease into movement on 'Flowing'. Didgeridoos and funky bass lines evoke masculine energy on 'Staccato' before the tumbling rhythms of 'Chaos' encourage the uninhibited release of one's mind and body.
