Kirtana connects you to your soul Aaah.......2004-07-24

Whenever I listen to Kirtana I transcend into her space. On the
Deeper Surrender cd, my favorite song is probably Pulling in the Oars there is a deep surrender here where you can rest in the self. Open Secret and Rest in the Self put me right up there in presence. Her music is just fantastic, in the morning I awake, put on the coffee,get out the inspirational books, ( Eckart Tolle, Course in Miracles etc) light the candles and incense put on Kirtana and my meditation begins. No matter what kind of a day I'm having, she transports me to her connective space. I first heard of her when I was watching one of Eckhart Tolle's videos and he played Who You Really Are from This Embrace cd. It mesmerized me and I bought all of her cds. this is the most meaningful purchase I have ever made. THANK YOU KIRTANA - Have a Blessed Life.

MUSIC THAT SPEAKS TO THE SOUL.......2004-01-09

WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS THE EMOTIONS THAT THIS CD INVOKED. BY THE TIME I GOT INTO SONG NUMBER 5, "WHAT A BLESSED LIFE",I WAS CRYING OUT LOUD WITH TEARS OF JOY. MY SPIRIT RECOGNIZED THE TRUTH IN THE LYRICS, THIS IS A TRULY EVOLVED PIECE OF WORK. FOR ANYONE WHO HAS WALKED THIS PATH, IT IS EVIDENT THAT WE ARE WALING IN THE FOOT STEPS OF KIRTANA OR VICE VERSA.

I am...........2003-12-05

Fantastic.

The music, the guitar and the back up instruments and Kirtana voice makes this a beautiful album to have in your collection.

The lyrics are also very nice. I like to listen it in front of the fire having a good glass of wine as it makes my mind wonder away.

Beautiful Transmission of Truth.......2000-06-26

Kirtana has an amazing talent. Through her words and music she manages to very clearly convey the message of the truth of who we are along with the feelings associated with the recognition of that truth.

From a purely musical standpoint, the words and music are beautiful. There is nothing more than what is needed. Kirtana manages to keep the songs simple and clear throughout the CD. The mix is excellent; the harmonies and accompanying instruments subtle, resulting in one of the most enjoyable musical experiences I've had in a long time.

Highly recommended to all!

Touches the heart.......2000-03-11

I had the honour to hear Kirtana live and "unplugged" recently and was spellbound by her music. It moved me to tears.

This CD captures that same energy and heartfelt message that I heard live.

The songs are love songs where the beloved is the unchanging Self and the quest for love is a path towards Truth.

The lyrics stir the mind with deep meaning but it is the music itself and the intention behind it that goes straight to the heart and lifts the soul.

Customer Reviews:

Sadly, It's All Gone Now........2007-07-04

The "trancendence" of the "anthems" here are entirely FORCED by a band trying too hard to believe in their ability to move people...I guess having a song penned by Chris Martin on your last album will do that.

Don't get me wrong, I used to cherish Embrace in a major way...The great moments on their previous album "Out Of Nothing," were quite worthy...But Embrace have had a choppy career at best, and unfortunately when I saw them live in Detroit, they did NOT deliver the goods. What a shame.

Brits Being Held Back.......2007-01-05

Another excellent CD from Embrace. If you look at the British Rock scene, the Brits are truly carrying the mantle of greatness, but they are also having a hard time getting airplay in these hip-hop enamored times. Gomez, Starsailor, Doves, and Embrace, e.g., get pushed to the side, and have problems getting their music out here. Snow Patrol seems to be the exception(and a worthy one). This CD is worth paying the extra price for the import. I'm willing to do this until my fellow Americans clear their ears and hear the quality.

Consistent Offering From Embrace.......2006-09-22

Embrace's follow-up to their successful comeback "Out of Nothing" is filled with anthems and is far more upbeat than its predecessor. "No Use Crying" kicks off with U2-style riffs and the classic Embrace anthemic-feel. The first single off of this album was "Nature's Law," a good hit-worthy track that is plagued by a clichéd piano riff and melody. One of the best tracks is the second single, "Target." The verses sound Keane-like, the chorus is uplifting, and the music matches the lyrics "Everything is possible, it's beautiful."

My favorite track is the nearly overly sentimental "I Can't Come Down." This song has the markings to become one of the best rock ballads of the year. The piano, strings, introspective lyrics, and soaring guitar riffs blend together perfectly as the lone ballad on the album. "Celebrate" is a catchy tune, but it starts to sound too much like other Embrace anthems. Embrace definitely has a style, but it is at times like these that it becomes too obvious with certain tracks. "Exploding Machines" is amazing only because of the excellent guitar riff and pounding breaking at the two minute mark. The last two tracks of the album are good and listenable, but not memorable.

"This New Day" is a good album and Danny's vocals are as consistent as ever. However, consistency may be the problem with this album. Though there are a few standouts, some of the other tracks sound too similar to each other or to other Embrace songs, casting them as unmemorable and undistinguishable songs at the end of the day.

Another masterpiece from Embrace - Would you expect anything less?.......2006-08-25

A bright, energetic album, Embrace's best since The Good Will Out. No slow, plodding songs, rather a collection of lively, epic songs like "Target" and "Nature's Law." Look for the special edition version with "World at Your Feet" as a bonus track, and for crying out loud, TELL PEOPLE ABOUT EMBRACE. This music is simply too brillant to be ignored in the U.S. and to be denied a stateside release.

Perfection.......2006-08-12

No Use Crying is one of the most uplifting songs I have ever heard, bottom line. The opening is just perfect, guitar and drums leading into an explosion of strings and more guitar, followed by an infectious vocal melody by Danny McNamara dropping in. And when you throw in the epic chorus and driving middle 8, it makes one of my favorite Embrace tracks ever.
The piano intro to Nature's Law, which was the first single off of This New Day, is almost as catchy as its choir-backed chorus. But what makes the song is its middle 8, sung by Richard McNamara (lead guitar), and the lead-in back to the chorus backed by goosebump-causing strings.
Target, the third song, is to be the second single off of This New Day and for good reason. All that needs to be said is that the chorus in this song is THE CATCHIEST ONE EVER. Add to that the driving force of the song provided by Mike Heaton on drums emphasizing the upbeat and a wonderful string arrangement and lyrics, and you get the best song on the album.
The next track, Sainted, is introduced by a dark 80's guitar riff and beat, and the verse by Danny is equally dark. And then the song builds into the first chorus, and you know that this song is great. The guitar solo after the middle 8 (which is itself outstanding) is crazy good. Overall, one of the best things that Embrace have ever done, just because of the concept.
I Can't Come Down...is Embrace doing really well at one of the things they do really well. Yes, it is a ballad. An absolutely superb ballad. And savor it, because it's the only one on this album (I personally do not consider Nature's Law a ballad). The bass by Steve Firth guides the song, and a beautiful string arrangement again floats through the background. And the middle 8 is one of my favorite parts of any Embrace song ever, including the heartwarming guitar solo that comes immediately after it. This song is just beautiful.
Celebrate, introduced and driven by Mickey Dale's piano, is one of those songs that you play and it just goes by and you have no idea what just happened. It packs so much beautiful music into such a short time that it's actually astounding. The chorus is so incredibly catchy and uplifting that the it makes me want to jump up and down every time I hear it. Just an amazing piece of music.
Exploding Machines is just...it's just wow. That's all it is. The guitar is perfectly crafted and mysterious and dark. The music is loud and brash yet also subdued in all the right places. And it has my all-time favorite CRANK THE MUSIC NOW part in any Embrace song, just after the middle 8. It should also be noted that Embrace have probably never sounded more TOGETHER as a band than just after that middle 8. Another highlight is Richard's "Exploooding Machiiiines!" part at the very end. Just amazing.
When I first heard Even Smaller Stones, I thought to myself, "Embrace are doing tribal music now?" Until the nasty guitar came in and just wreaked havoc. Then, I understood. It wasn't about, uh, tribes. It was about pure, unadulterated anger. It's the harshest song Embrace have ever done, and the guitar solo near the end completes the package. Perfectly packaged brutality.
The End Is Near is so epic that it makes me want to go fight a war every time I hear it because it puts me on top of the world. The lead-in piano is backed by screaming guitar after a few seconds and then the song changes completely, into an inspiring verse backed by solid drums. And then - the chorus happens. And then it fades. And you want it back. But then the verse starts again, and so you go along with it, hoping for just a little more of that - chorus! And then a different version of the same chorus! Just Embrace doing what they do best, another wonderful epic.
At first, I didn't get This New Day, the title track of the album. I just didn't get it. I always got the great keyboard and guitar at the beginning, but for a while, I didn't get it. Now I get it. This is one of the best things Embrace have ever done. It's dark, and warning, and filled with despair. And yet, it has that tinge of hope, that maybe, just maybe, you can go on. There's a part that leads into the end where the guitars and drums reign free. And that end is one of the most powerful things Embrace have ever done. "Make them see it, see you mean it, break the ceiling, beat these demons, just keep dreaming, keep on breathing, fight these feelings." And it's not the kind of ending that leaves you at peace. It makes you want more. And so you press play again, and start the whole album over. It's just that good. Oh, did I say good? I meant that it's absolutely perfect.

Moving.........2002-09-02

This is such a truly fabulous cd.

I was introduced to Chris Burton by being fortunate enough to walk into a tapas restaurant one night seeing him play live. Listening to his music and watching the flamenco dancers that accompianed him, I was awe struck. Enjoying it so much, my husband and I went back the following week to watch and hear them one again. This time I was lucky enough to meet Chris and purchase both of his cd's. They are both masterpieces, but I have to say, track 1 from this cd is truly my favorite of all.

Please, do yourself a favor...buy this cd. You will not regret it!

Ole'!

beautiful.......2001-03-21

I must admit that I fell upon this cd by complete chance or shall I say luck. Into a small cd shop in Pasadena I walked. There was the most beautiful brunette in the back of the shop. She had long hair pulled up off her shoulders. She was listening to a music station that was labeled World Beat. So entranced by her beauty was I that I picked up the headphones beside her to a music station labeled Flamenco. I hit play not realizing what I would be listening to. This cd came up! As the first song started to play, I still was captured by this beautiful woman, hoping that she would glance in my direction. Before I realized it, I was drifting to the chords of a guitar coming from the headphones. I momentarily forgot about the woman who, by chance, led me to listen to this cd, and concentrated on the music itself. I looked at the disc number that was playing and then found the cd on the wall in front of me. I picked it up to look at it and discovered that the brunette now had her boyfriend next to her. So I owe her a debt of graditude for showing me, inadvertently, this cd. It truely was a wonderful find, in many ways. Each song has a great sound to it. This is a very romantic cd that I wish I could have shared with the beautiful brunette. And so I dedicate track number 8 to her: La Noche Y Su Amante (The Night And Her Lover). To the beautiful brunette, where ever you may be! This cd will always hold a special memory of you for me.

A Must Have!.......2001-01-02

Does the words "absolutely amazing" even come close? ...I THINK NOT! When it comes to music, this CD is in my "must have" category. Chris creates an explosion as he and his talent flows through my speakers and fills the room with an array of unbelievable sound. If you listen hard enough, you can actually feel the room come alive as his music plays. This collection of Jacome's work proves his overwhelming diversified talent and emotional love for his work. You must get this CD!

The power of Flamenco.......2000-12-15

Mr. Jacome's CD Motivacion is absolutely one of the most beautiful flamemco CDs in my collection! It actually stays in my car, so I can hear it while driving! The music will stir emotions in you that you may have forgotten you had! Flamenco music is a special music to be enjoyed by everyone, and Mr. Jacome's exceptional talent in presenting his flamenco music will bring the listener to greater heights!! Do yourself a favor for once, and I guarantee you will thank yourself for hearing Mr. Jacome's wonderful music!!

Top pick.......2000-10-14

I find myself taken to a different place when listening to this CD. Chris Burton-Jacome's masterful style has quickly made this album one of my top favorites for any occasion. I look foreward to the next outing by this fantastic artist. Bravo.
