Album Description

You've arrived in the ultimate luxury resort for your soul. Come into the lounge where you can restore your body, mind and spirit. Settle in as you join our visionary house DJs, the Gordon Brothers (creators of the original Buddha-Lounge series) as they carefully hand-pick the freshest sounds around - exploring the more intimate side of mystical multi-cultural grooves with this perfectly transcendent blend of sensuously hypnotic rhythms, richly radiant vocals and an exotic array of ethnic instruments. Featuring an incredible line-up of world/lounge luminaries including Althea W., Ginkgo Garden, Joe Weinek Opera-to-Relax, Peter Mergener, Artemisia, TAU, David & Steve Gordon and many more genre-bending mixologists. De-stress and unwind, as deep ancient wisdom meets with these mesmerizing modern beats to create the definitive nu-global soundtrack for today; perfectly suited for deepening your yoga experience, as the perfect backdrop for socializing or any time you just want to chill-out.

"If you need a compilation to hold you over until the next installment in Sequoia's "Buddha-Lounge" series gets released, HOTEL TARA is the perfect place to take up residence. Like that series, the album features a luscious non-stop mix of ethnic-flavored grooves, spiritual essence and intoxicating beats compiled and mixed by the Gordon brothers. HOTEL TARA ups the "dreamy" quotient, creating an atmosphere that is at once peaceful and soulful. The beats are low-tempo and many of the songs have a touch of Indian instrumentation as well as a subtle retro-lounge flair. Artists include David and Steve Gordon, Gingko Garden, Althea W., Jaya Lakshmi, Artemisia and others. This is a great album for anyone looking for music that is mellow and cerebral - it is perfect for chilling out to."

First listen to opera to relax no 13 on cd
then do ur thing
this one song is worth the cd
but all the song itis a gold mine
beautiful

5 out of 5 stars Unwind with this..........2007-03-26

Smooth, sensous, soothing, and sultry. A couple of cuts a little on the "loungy" side but overall this is an excellent CD that delivers exactly what you would expect from the title. The quality of this stuff is definitely a cut above a lot of the other budda-lounge wannabes.

5 out of 5 stars A maverick New Age/Eastern hybrid classic!.......2005-03-25

I am absolutely taken into the beauty and harmony that is the album "Hotel Tara". I first heard this at an independent CD store recently and after finding out who it was, I instantly bought the new album and I am proud of my choice of buying it. This album reminds me very strongly of the Earthtone collection series from years ago. After the apparent and unfortunate demise of the Earthtone label, Sequoia Records seems to have taken the torch and "Hotel Tara" is a powerful CD. "Apollo 13" is a highly eclectic track that incorporates voice effects of a NASA space mission with a gorgeous jazz/New Age groove. "Govinda Hari" is an electrifying song with haunting Eastern Indian voices and a very entrancing melody. This is such a wonderful CD and I highly recommend this.

5 out of 5 stars Blissful Eastern Chill.......2005-03-10

Nothing less than superb ! This new titles from Sequoia Groove is a blissful voyage into the very best of Eastern influenced downtempo chill-out music. A provacative follow up to Sequoia's Buddha Lounge series. This album really transports the listener into some very exoctic and sensuous musical landscapes. I especially love the Jaya Lakshmi track "Govinda Hari" and "Apollo 13" by Joe Werineck which incorporates actual original recordings from the space mission into a lushly textured background of slow and sultry electonica. This is a great addition to any downtempo musical collection. If you like, Buddha Bar or Hotel De Costa you will love Hotel Tara.

5 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Music for Sacred Lovers.......2005-02-10

David & Steve Gordon have done it again ! Just when you thought it could'nt get any better, these musical visionaries deepen the mix even further. Hotel Tara bills itself as "The Intimate Side of Buddha Lounge" and it certainly delivers on that promise. This is an exotic and enticing blend of traditional Eastern music with the very best that Western downtempo-electronica has to offer, featuring an superlative assortment of the very best Sequoia artists and some absolutely alluring new artists. Likely the most noteable being the lead track "L'Heure Verte/The Green Hour"from Artemisia, the new Steve Gordon solo project with it's distinctive tabla beat, exquisite tamboura, sensuous guitar and luminous vocals provided by Jaya Lakshmi whose "Govinda Hari" also graces the album. David Gordon's new solo track "Floating" is also fantastic, melding chill-out and smooth jazz effortlessly into this delightfully transcendent tune. My wife and I have now found our new favorite CD for our intimate encounters and Tantra sessions. These Sequoia Groove titles just keep getting better and better and this one is perfect suited for the the Sacred Lover. Keep them coming. Absolutely delightful.

Smooth Grooves: New Jack Ballads, Vol. 3 closes out the New Jack Ballads series very strong. The disc features the timless slow jam Let's Chill by Guy and the sentimenatl I Promise I Do Love You by Dreamboy. There's also some rareties on the disc including another hot rap ballad Slow Love by Doc Box & B. Fresh. market, If you want a disc featuring such hits as Mac Band's "Roses Are Red," 52nd Street's "Tell Me (How It Feels)," )," Timex Social Club's "Thinkin' About Ya," Tawatha's "No More Tears," Mico Wave's "Instant Replay" and Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad", plus the tracks I mentioned then this is the disc for you !

4 out of 5 stars More like rare GROOVES.......2004-04-13

Very good CD filled with hard to find hits from 52nd Street (worth the price of the CD) and also Mac band. What may be the best song on this is D'eja. Pick up the CD it's worth it!!!

5 out of 5 stars Finally.......2000-02-24

I had been looking for the song "Slow Love" by Doc Box & B. Fresh for years. No one knew who or what I was talking about and even the internet was not helpful (ie..search engines) But...thankfully..this site was able to locate the song for me. This song brings back so many great memories and it is nice to know that I wasn't just crazy thinking I remembered a song that doesn't exist. It exists and it is one of the best songs I know. The rest of the CD is great too. But "Slow Love" is the jam! Check it out!

5 out of 5 stars very easy to look things up........1999-06-20

i like this sight i found a song that i have been looking for. This is the only place that i could find the song that i like.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The strongest in the series.......2006-12-11

Smooth Grooves: New Jack Ballads, Vol. 2 is the strongest of the series in my opinion. Two songs alone make this song very strong. Games by the very underrated Chuckii Booker (which T.I. should have sampled for his huge hit Why U Wanna ) and I Want My Girl by Jesse Johnson. Like its predecessor, Smooth Grooves: New Jack Ballads, Vol. 2 leans toward conventional urban R&B from the late '80s and early '90s instead of the hip-hop-inflected contemporary R&B that came to define new jack R&B. Even if the music on Vol. 2 isn't strictly new jack R&B, it's nevertheless first-rate urban soul, one of the best, most comprehensive discs of its kind on the market, featuring such hits as Guy's "Piece of My Love," Ready for the World's "Tonight," Force MDs' "Tender Love," Al B. Sure's "Nite and Day," After 7's "Ready or Not," Club Nouveau's "Heavy on My Mind" and Miki Howard & Gerald Levert's "That's What Love Is."

4 out of 5 stars One of best New Jack compilations assembled!!.......2004-02-25

The other two compilations in this series, Vols. 1 & 3, are very disappointing. This is one of best CDs to purchase if you want to learn more about the great period of Black music that is known as New Jack Swing. This CD makes you think back to a time where R&B music was actually tolerable. I hate to listen to the radio today because of all the thrown together crap that is played all day long. If you enjoy real R&B, definitely pick this one up!

    Product Description

    Rumi: Lovedrunk is Shahram Shiva's new CD produced in partnership with Michael Harrison and composer & producer Olivier Glissant. Over two years in the making, this groundbreaking new audio project incorporates more than a dozen talented musicians from Persia, Europe, Latin America and the U.S., and includes original compositions by Glissant and Harrison. This new CD blends the exotic and the meditative with hip grooves and inventive arrangements of Glissant, mesmerizing vocals and musicianship of Harrison, and the deep, resonant and hypnotic voice of Shiva. Rumi is the greatest exponent of the ecstatic intoxication of sacred love. Shahram Shiva, Rumi translator, performer and author, captures the essence of the poet's message through his passionate performances. This union of spoken verse and world music melds magic with love. This meticulously composed and produced CD is much more than a Spoken Word project and can be listened to both for the beauty and power of Rumis words, as well as for the captivating and inspiring mood of the music and poetic images. It is the uncompromising artistic statement of three diverse and committed artists.

    5 out of 5 stars Mercy, what an ocean........2007-02-16

    Innocence, purity, exuberance and sweetness is Jaya Lakshmi...the album is a musical Lotus Blossom that celebrates harmony and devotion.

    4 out of 5 stars Ocean Of Mercy, Jaya Lakshmi's first Album..........2006-10-01

    I enjoy this album immensely.
    However I like her newer album, Jewel of Hari much much better. and the funny thing is that these albums both grew on me, kind of crept up over a period of time. In fact when I first bought Jewel of Hari I actually hated it. No I really hated it. I don't know why, it was just one of those strong first impressions. But what is weird is that I listed it to sell on Amazon, and by the time I had a buyer, I popped it back into the CD player for a listen, and lo and behold, i loved it. So of course I had to ship it out. But I copied some of the songs to my computer. I ended up loving the songs soooo much over time, that I had to go out and get the album again, and this one as well.
    This is her first album. What a spirited Woman musician. She went against all odds, traveling with her young daughter, a single parent, singing to her guru, and totally emersing herself in Divine Bliss, in the Ocean of Mercy. Smiles to this album.

    5 out of 5 stars Sweet voice.......2006-08-13

    If you enjoy chanting and Kirtan, then this is a great CD to purchase. Jaya Lakshmi has a sweet voice, a voice like and angel. This is a great CD for yoga,(I'm a yoga instructor), even massage, or just plain relaxing.

    5 out of 5 stars Not Just For A Devotee.......2005-03-21

    I would like to think that if something similar to this was first chanted thousands of years ago, it was done with the same soul-filled passion that Jaya Lakshmi does it with. Her beautiful voice and spiritual fervor blend together for a truly unique musical and mystical experience. The music is performed flawlessly, as English mixes with what I think is Sanskrit, in this lovely and moving piece.

    Your sweet face
    is like a million suns
    flooding my mind

    Oh You have captured me
    with your beauty
    now this heart
    is no longer mine

    ~from Ocean Of Mercy

    Fans of music from India are sure to love this. The often upbeat melody, that at times seems almost modern, will also appeal to anyone that is interested in hearing well played music from another culture. The sublime voice of Jaya Lakshmi becomes almost ethereal as she reminds me of a beautiful gopi dancing the Rasa.

    5 out of 5 stars It's about devotion.......2005-02-12

    Mr. Anderberg obviously doesn't realize that the single focus of this album is the love and adoration of Krishna, not the prattling of "subjects in any way related to eastern religion" that he seems to think it is about. If he wants to call adoration of God "drivel, pure and simple", well, that's his business. I think he totally missed the point. The whole record is devotional--pure, loving, and sexy.

    5 out of 5 stars great remixes and some awesome new stuff too.......1998-12-05

    This collection of remixed BNH hits and some new songs is great for fans of their music. Most of the remixed songs are from the Brother Sister album but with a twist that makes buying this CD worth it. The vocals of Jan Kincaid in "Keep Together" are a refreshing change from the female vocals we're used to. The new songs are great too. If you're looking for a CD you can groove to, definitely check this out.

    5 out of 5 stars Great start of a slow jam trilogy.......2006-12-11

    Next to seventies soul, I love New Jac Swing slow jams. Smooth Grooves: New Jack Ballads, Vol. 1 is an amazing introduction to a three disc series of classic slow jams. The first late-'80s/early-'90s installment of Rhino's popular Smooth Grooves series, New Jack Ballads, Vol. 1 leans toward conventional urban R&B instead of the hip-hop-inflected contemporary R&B that came to define new jack R&B. Even if the music on Vol. 1 isn't strictly new jack R&B, it's nevertheless first-rate urban soul, one of the best, most comprehensive discs of its kind on the market, featuring such hits as Levert's "(Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop) Goes My Mind," Ready for the World's "Love You Down," the System's "Don't Disturb This Groove," Guy's "Goodbye Love," Surface's "Happy," The Jets' "You Got It All" and the Gap Band's "I Found My Baby." My favorite on the disc though are No One Can Treat Me Like You by Dreamboy and Still In Love by Troop.

    This CD focuses on late 1980s and early '90s R&B slow jams and has several outstanding tracks by LeVert, Surface , Michael Cooper and others but some songs are over-produced and unispired. Not bad, but not one of Smooth Grooves' best volumes.

    1 out of 5 stars Midnight Star fans get ready to be disappointed.......2006-07-24

    when I first saw this new CD I couldn't get to listening quick enough. If your looking for the Classic style of dance cuts, the melodic mid tempo movers, or the melting ballads that these guys produced over most of their LPs, even after the departure of calloway brother, then think again!
    The only track to my mind that is worth any kind of praise, is the title track, but only on the (OLD SCHOOL MIX).
    Like many, on seeing the name of a band that I grew up enjoying, I was so, so looking forward to at least a touch of that former glory, but no. I know things have moved on over the years, but surely the repetitive dull ballads here are not gonna help sell this CD. Sorry guys!!

    Like the review above this one, Midnight Star hasn't lost a step at all..., Belinda and the guys bring the heat. Uptempo cuts like "15th Avenue, I Like(When You Dance with Me?, and VIP", are off the chain.., And the ballads, "Movin'On, Hooked on You, and Just Because I Love You", are those red light, belly-rubbin', house party smokers...., This cd is complete, tracks 1 through 15, bottom line, vintage soul at it's best, no cameos from rappers to appeal to the teen audience.., like the intro track says..,"M.S. in the House", and only Midnight Star...., This is the best cd I have heard in the last 5 years..., finally a cd with substance, no weak tracks here..., Just put it in the deck and let it play..., so don't sleep on this....., believe me..., Midnight Star has another No Parking on the Dance Floor here, and we all remember how tight that album was...., Pick it up!!!

    This new CD is smooth, mellow and funky..A great stress reliever..Perfect for cruising down the highway. Its got these mellow funky grooves that mixes the old school with the new... I love all the songs but special favorites are "I Like", "VIP", "15th Ave." "Out Tonight" and a classic!! "Caught Up".
    Belinda's got the lyrics,delivery,and arrangements thats Grammy potential. For a so called old school act, Midnight Star has broken the rules..and has not lost a step..This CD's a sleeper.
