Heartbeat, released in 1971 by UK folk maverick Michael Chapman , is a unique work that transcends the boundaries of folk and rock, quietly connecting to the New Age listening sensibilities of later years. The repetitive guitar phrases, subdued rhythms, and introspective, meditative atmosphere naturally regulate breathing and lead the listener inward. Rather than relying on flashy embellishments or spiritual expression, the approach of depicting spirituality through the continuity and space of the sound itself has an appearance that could be described as a "primitive ambience" that predates New Age. It's a record of quiet awakening in the form of folk music.
