Excellent Good Fair Poor : VIDEOCASSETTES

“Water’s Path.” Paramount. $29.95. Most videocassettes--from “Beverly Hills Cop” to “Madonna Live”--try to stir us up. But the meditation-oriented record label Windham Hill has a new line of relaxation tapes meant to cool down the viewer. “Water’s Path,” the best seller of the bunch, is a beautifully filmed look at good old H20’s course from cloud to river through waterfall to ocean, set to soothing but never syrupy instrumental sounds from the label’s artists. It’s well done in all respects, including the editing, which lingers just long enough on each pacifying image. Ahhhh.
