About the Artist
Fabian Isadar Thibodeaux, p/k/a "Isadar," has been playing the piano since the age of five.  Studying on and off throughout grade school, he abandoned the piano for a brief period and began studying the Flute and Piccolo then gradually moved on to include the Oboe (which started a cycle of craving new sounds and timbres).  By the time he graduated high school, Isadar had collected numerous musical awards from competing in competitions. Isadar regained his interest in the piano as a high school Junior and from then on began writing and composing (some of these works exclusively for the piano).   By the time he was a music student at the University of Louisiana, he had already begun to record his original compositions in a professional multitrack recording studio.  Isadar's earliest efforts (which eventually developed into his 1997 vocal release, "Dream of the Dead") were heavily influenced by such British recording artists as Kate Bush, Thomas Dolby, and Peter Gabriel. Around 1988 Isadar saw Windham Hill pianist Liz Story perform in Baton Rouge, LA on the campus of  LSU.  He was so blown away by her technique and composition that he immediately put his vocal project on hold and moved back to the simplicity of the piano and recorded his debut disc, "Near the Edge of Light" (released in 1990). In 1993, Isadar made a bold move to relocate for seven years from his home in Louisiana to Manhattan in order to pursue his music and recording career professionally.  He was employed for five years with Sony Music Entertainment.  In 1996, he mixed and mastered "Dream of the Dead" with Bob Musso (chief Engineer and business partner of acclaimed producer, Bill Laswell) at Sony Music Studios. (March 1999)

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2007-07-23

I always enjoyed the Journey song "I Believe". I purchased this album mostly for this song. The rest of the album is great also.

5 out of 5 stars Living in the 80's again.......2007-07-13

This is a fabulous album of Journey's greatest hits and cannot figure out why I didn't have this album already, in my collection, because I like Steve's singing so much. When I heard it at the end of the Soprano's it brought back nice memories.

5 out of 5 stars It's the Journey, not the destination.......2007-07-12

Once Steve Perry joined Journey for the "Infinity" album, the band's course was inevitably reset. They changed direction from being a progressive rock band to an arena rock juggernaut. Perry's main contribution was a strong melodic sense coupled to his more soulful vocals. The hits started almost immediately, as "Lights" and "Wheel In The Sky" became FM Rock Radio staples.

That is what this greatest hits focuses on, the songs that became the standards by which the public remembers the band. If you were interested in the albums BEFORE "Infinity," I suggest "Time 3," which adds material from the years when Neal Schon was still aping his jazz-Rock tenure with Santana and Gregg Rollie was doing standard rock keyboard boogie. Personally, I liked them better when Perry got on board. The sound focused and the songwriting tightened. Songs like "Separate Ways/Worlds Apart" and "Any Way You Want It" could add a jolt of adrenaline to a day of radio. When Jonathan Cain replaced Gregg Rollie on "Escape," Journey took on a romantic bent from Cain's songwriting. "Open Arms" came first, then "Faithfully" (on "Frontiers") solidified it. These were pop radio songs without peer, and they make Journey's "Greatest Hits" an essential document of 70's and 80's radio rock. (The updated version includes the best song from the 90's reunion "Trial by Fire," "When You Love A Woman.")

The other reason you might be looking at this is not because of Steve Perry's voice or Neal Schon's guitar heroics, but because of Tony and Carmella. It was Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" that echoed out of the final minutes of "The Sopranos" closing episode. It was funny that Tony passed over Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra for Journey and inspire a million parodies in the process. (Including Hilary Clinton...where the best moment is when she and President Bill Clinton are flipping through songs and Bill says "My money's on Smash Mouth...") Talk about cementing your place in pop culture...who could have asked for better?

This best of offers a pair of soundtrack rarities in "Only The Young" (from "Vision Quest") and "Ask The Lonely" (from "Two of a Kind"). Missing are a few crucial singles like "Suzanne," "Stone In Love" and "Walks Like A Lady." If you really want them, go for the box sets or individual CD's.

5 out of 5 stars Complete.......2007-07-09

This is how you do a greatest hits collection. You put ALL of them on there. Not a mix of half greats, and half "other", then release the rest on another "greatest hits" CD.

4 out of 5 stars Get the Infinity album too........2007-07-07

Unfortunately, it does not include my favorite song tandem Feeling That Way/ Anytime. For that you need to buy The Infinity album. It does include some great songs, a good mix of rockers and ballads. Definitely worth the price to anyone who loves classic rock and roll or was a teen in the late '70s. But do yourself a favor and get the Infinity album too.

Second only to Riverdance as an international Irish showbiz phenomenon, previous installments of this Platinum-selling extravaganza have become beloved PBS standards. The original buxom quartet of female singers, Lisa, Maev, Orla, and Chloe, have duly been joined by Hayley and are, as usual, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, plus enough traditional instruments (the house fiddler, Mairead, is a powerhouse) to keep things legit. The material ranges from folkloric ("Dúlaman" is best known from Clannad's legendary rendering), to a standard from another Celtic nation ("Caledonia," Dougie McLean's love letter to his native Scotland), to classical lite (Handel's poignant "Laschia Ch'io Pianga"), to movie hits ("Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a delicately lovely, a cappella, close-harmony treatment), to homegrown New Age (Enya's "Newgrange"). Most tracks are produced to turn, presented in the aural equivalent of Technicolor or day-glo, in which colors pop while diverging ever so slightly from nature. In short, although the album offers fresh material, it covers old ground -- but this is exactly what the act's target audience expects and desires. Fans of acoustic folk would likely find the prevailing aesthetic a touch garish, but fans of Sarah Brightman and Il Divo will be diverted and thrilled. The deluxe package offers four bonus tracks, three of them live, plus a silver claddagh charm. --Christina Roden

5 out of 5 stars Irish Music.......2007-07-11

Loved the range of voices. Had already seen the show on PBS and have the previous CD and DVD.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest CD ever.......2007-07-10

I have never heard such beautiful harmony and vocals! The music was just wonderful! The orchestra was outstanding! I have already decided that "The Prayer" is going to be sung at my wedding. I can't help but cry every time I hear that song sung by Chloe (I have already bought the sheet music for it:))There were a couple of songs that got a little boring but for the most part it was GREAT!!! The DVD is magnificent as well! It has about 6 or 7 more songs.

5 out of 5 stars A great continuation of the first Celtic Woman album........2007-06-28

This is a CD that can be enjoyed by all who like M E H DI, E N Y A or even Loreena Mckinnett. After seeing them on PBS, getting the first CD and seeing them in concert I am hooked. These ladies can SING!
The bonus songs make the album definatly worth the extra few dollars...it includes the fun, upbeat, songs Celtic Woman performs at the ending of their live shows....I was so hoping they would put them on an album. Live or not, the sound quality is PERFECTION, they sound studio quality. I was a little hesistant at first about the addition of the new member...but she rounds the group up nicely.

I bought this DVD and CD as a gift for my husband's birthday. We saw a preview on public television and he immediately asked for it for his birthday. We already own the first Celtic Woman DVD and CD (also seen on public tv and purchased thru Amazon)and this is an amazing sequel to the original. All new music and a beautiful setting for this irish music. The women's voices are ethereal, very much worth listening to and watching over and over again.

This is a great album if you like CW. You will not find typically[traditional] Irish music; but it can be compared to a Las Vegas show.
There are some great easy-listening songs, with an upbeat twist. These

Ennio Morricone is well-known to moviegoers. His soundtracks for The Mission, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America, Cinema Paradiso, and others are invariably warmly melodic and superbly suited to the films they grace. They not only add atmosphere; they help tell the story. For this CD Morricone has created new orchestrations for many of his scores, adding a solo cello part for the indefatigable Yo-Yo Ma, whose musical curiosity seems to be endless. Outside the films, these pieces tend to be lovely melodies, mostly pretty sentimental stuff, and, in the best way, gorgeous aural wallpaper. The most moving are the two selections from The Mission, but fans of Morricone's music will find plenty to enjoy here. Ma's playing, as always, is exquisite---warm, deeply felt (given the circumstances), and entirely idiomatic within the context. Perhaps not quite for the classical music lover, but an affectionate reworking of music by an important film composer. --Robert Levine

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Is it bad to say I like this better than the original soundtrack?.......2007-06-02

I never thought Yo-Yo Ma would do Gabriel's Oboe (Track 1) from THE MISSION justice, but I was wrong. There's a pureness to this version that makes it easier casual listening than the version(s) on the soundtrack CD itself. So no matter how much I love the theatrical "largeness" of the Original Soundtrack (not to mention the full choir), this is the version I grab for the CD player/iPod/whatever.

My two other recommendations are Main Theme from ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (Track 11) and Ecstasy of Gold from THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY (Track 12). I suggest playing these consecutively as a single medley. Track 11 *WILL* bring tears to the manliest among us --particularly if you remember in the movie where Sergio Leone pulls the camera up to reveal the town rising.

I get the feeling "hardcore" classical fans would dismiss movie scores as commercial work. I truly believe Ennio Morricone transcends that. Even moreso than, say, John Williams, and on a different plane than a Danny Elfman. And I can't say more about the emotion Yo-Yo Ma brings to the table than what's already been discussed.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Exquisite.......2007-05-15

The combination of Morricone and Ma is pure perfection. This CD fills my heart with so much joy that I could just cry. I listen to it almost daily and have given it away as a gift to my loved ones. I am captivated by their incredible talents, and I know you will be too.

4 out of 5 stars Yo Yo Ma and the Maestro Marvelous!!!.......2007-05-13

Having recently succumbed to Yo Yo Ma after a longtime love of Ennio Marricone I was excited to get this CD from Amazon. It is superb! All of the songs had to be recrafted by Morricone to suit Yo Yo Ma but it is a great listen as you sonically travel down memory lane through some of Maestro Moricone's musical marvels. "Gabriel's Oboe" from "The Mission" now becomes "Gabriel's Cello." I laugh as Yo Yo Ma bows his brains out on the "Ecstacy of Gold' from "The Good,The Bad, and The Ugly." I recommend this to all Yo Yo Ma and Morricone fans...a great listen. Soothing after a hard day!

5 out of 5 stars Better Every Time.......2007-05-09

This CD gets better with every listening. It was a great purchase.

Album Description

Journey: Live in New York is filled with the signature Richard Smallwood melodies, harmonies, and orchestral arrangements that listeners have come to expect and adore. Smallwood's musical genius blurs the lines between live audience and taped recording, transporting the listener to the actual event, rather than leaving them sitting in a spectator's position. And, just as always, Vision, the rich and vibrant choir, backs Smallwood to bring his songs to life. Journey: Live in New York, boasts guest appearances by Chaka Khan, Kelly Price, The Hawkins Family and more! This double CD also includes special enhancements and live concert video.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Two words: "...Morning's Breaking!".......2007-07-31

Like everyone else who attended the 2005 live recording in NYC, I could not wait for this album to be released. It was a GREAT concert, and the best songs of the concert are my favorites on the albums:

1. "Morning Breaking" (should have been on Kelly's album!)
2,3. The Smallwood Singer classics "Holy" and "He Won't Leave You"
4. I'll Trust You
5. I'd Rather Have Jesus (another classic Smallwood instrumental piece, not recorded at the NYC concert)

Honestly, that's all I listen to. The Hawkins song is cool as well. I appreciate the 3 bonus tracks as well...great idea!

New Yorker and all, this is not one of my favorite Smallwood projects... He just outdid himself in Atlanta and Detroit! (Oh, yeah, and where are my Clark Sisters?! FYI, they were advertised to participate in this project...Whoa!! Maybe that would've been too much power on one album!!) But I would buy this just for Kelly and Vision to break down "Morning's Breaking!" Powerful song that gave me much timely encouragement. Thank you for your ministry!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Variety.......2007-07-20

Once again Richard Smallwood has released an awesome project. When I first listened to it, I said "It's o.k." But, the second listen sold me. The project has his signature style all over it, and true to Richard's nature, he showcases other talent as well. I love the raw, earthy voice of Chaka Khan, the melodic soprano voice of Janet Chandler-Eteme, and Kim Burrell's gospel-honed big voice. It is all about worship to the King of Kings, and Journey: Live in New York does just that.

5 out of 5 stars Excellence Personified!.......2007-07-05

Richard Smallwood's latest project, Journey: Live in New York, is his best work to date! It is an expressed representation of musical excellence that ushers you right into the presence of God! This CD set is a must have for any serious lover of gospel music.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-07-05

Ilove Richard Smallwood I have been a fan since I was 15 years old and this CD project was amazing I went to the actual concert in New York abt 3 years ago and I was amazed then as I do now. I belong to the church where Richard Worships and I sing in the choir that he consults (when he is in town that is) But I really love his style of music as it takes u there and if you are not careful you will find yourself underneath a church bench in the spirit. Si get this porject if you have not as this wa is absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Not the typical Smallwood item.......2007-07-03

This is a 2-CD set. A lot of his past work is on the CD. There are several new songs that are nice but this is not his usual standard.

Score composer Howard Shore has informed this first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with his distinctly modern sensibilities. Revolving loosely around a brief, heroic brass theme, this epic is infused with a powerful rhythmic thrust and a musical range that encompasses centuries (from the Renaissance pastoralism of "Concerning Hobbits" to the fiery, Prokofiev-influenced drama of "A Knife in the Dark"). Key to the score's sense of mystery and magical place are the rich choral passages that are interspersed throughout, some so ominously gothic they make The Phantom Menace's "Duel of the Fates" sound almost sunny by comparison. Enya's contributions ("The Council of Elrond" and the song "May It Be") add a sense of organic tranquility, but it's Shore's Wagnerian-scaled orchestral score that should long be cherished by admirers of film music and hobbits alike. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars The music is good but the movie is better.......2007-04-10

I really enjoyed the 3 series of The Lord of the Rings movie so I wanted the music. The soundtracks are good but if you like the movie the soundtracks watch the movie. They remind you of certain parts in the movie like the song Concerning Hobbits. The song is whimsical. Enyna has a great voice, very haunting. The Ring Goes South is another favorite of mine. I can enjoy these soundtracks as classical or dramatic music. I bought them because I loved the Lord of the Rings which has many similarities to Braveheart. Bravery, courage, strength, honesty, selflessness, love and other good human qualities people try to attain and admire them in the people and movies they view.

5 out of 5 stars A grand sountrack..........2007-01-10

One of Howard Shore's best soundtracks around. The music is strong enough to tell its own separate story apart from FOTR. You will never tire of the heart-pounding excitement from The Bridge of Kazaad-Dum track.

5 out of 5 stars Lord of the Rings Original Soundtracks, films 1 and 3.......2006-11-08

Having made an earlier mistake of buying 2 C.D.'s which were not original soundtrack, I can truthfully say these are the best. If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, look no further - no one does it better than The London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the composer Howard Shore. You will be back in Middle Earth reliving all those wonderful scenes. I bought only The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King from Amazon.com because I already had the Two Towers from Amazon.co.uk and I would recommend all three - magical.

5 out of 5 stars Awe inspiring!.......2006-10-02

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Howard Shore's magnificent score for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy? A soundtrack can define the whole atmosphere of a film, and this fully orchestrated work certainly does that with sweep, splendor and wonder, alternately humanizing (hobbit-izing?) the characters, imbuing the landscape with magic and capturing the world-shaking impact of events of mythic proportions. And this was no easy task considering the iconoclastic status of the story and the superb quality of Peter Jackson's filmmaking. This is a truly a soundtrack for the ages--a fitting accompaniment to a film for the ages! Every aspect of life, from the extreme to the mundane, is captured in this music. Listening to it can make every remembered moment of the movie come alive again in your mind, from the most horrific battle to the smallest moment of humor or kindness. I think this first one is my favorite of the three "Lord of the Rings" soundtracks. I enjoy the juxtaposition of the lighter moments, like the sweet, simple hobbit theme, with the grander and more menacing sections of the music. (That despite the fact that said hobbit theme begins exactly like the first phrase of the Protestant hymn "This Is My Father's World," which prompts me to think of the hobbits trouping off to Sunday school every time I hear it. But now when I hear the hymn, I think of Lord of the Rings, so I suppose all's fair!) What impressed me most as I watched "The Fellowship of the Ring" was how scary the music was when the hobbits were being pursued. Those relentless drums and eerily screaming drums made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, even though I knew the story like the back of my hand and knew for a fact that the poor little heroes would manage to escape. But the music truly made me wonder otherwise ... Now that's good composition! And the fact that the filmmakers chose to include background music in so many of the scenes, almost continuously ... well, that's just good filmmaking! The other impressive thing about Howard Shore's score is how the voicing and repeating motifs tie the whole thing together, like the finest of symphonies. The total effect is utterly convincing and utterly transporting. Peter Jackson chose well when he picked Shore as his score writer. Very, very well! Be sure to get the scores from the other two movies in the trilogy as well - "The Two Towers" and "Return of the King." They seem to be available in no end of different packagings, including ones with bonus DVDs about the creation of the score. Also, make sure to get the extended edition DVDs of the movie itself, with hours and hours of fascinating commentaries and behind-the-scenes documentaries about the making of the films. Truly a bargain at any price! And for more seminal soundtracks, try John Williams' defining scores for the "Star Wars" series and Basil Poledouris's spectacular score for the original "Conan the Barbarian."

5 out of 5 stars It is the best of the three CDs!!!.......2006-09-10

For me, the music of the first sequel is my favourite since this is also the sequel that I prefer in the trilogy (I remember being blown away by the quality of this movie, the actors, the setting, the action scenes, the special effects, the moving relationships between all the characters and of coourse the music)
I think that the other CDs are a bit repetitive once you've got this one, even if I still like the music of the second soundtrack 'The Two Towers'. As for the 3rd sequel, I seldom listen to it as there is only one track that I like, 'The Return of the King'.
Now, this first CD of the trilogy is actually very good. Thanks to Enya, it is haunting and the songs are beautiful. There are a few eery but melodious songs like 'The Council of Elrond', 'Lothlorien', 'May it Be'. I love the change of tempo, the balance between fast and slow movements in 'A Knife in the Dark', 'Flight to the ford', and 'Amon Hen' which is my favourite piece (the Death of Boromir) with the oboe sound mixed with the beat of the drums and finaly the haunting voice of the singer. Track 17 is also worth listening. I like this CD because you've got different tempos and melodies and Anya is a great singer to me. But I also enjoy listening to Emiliana Torrini's song 'Gollum's Song'in the second soundtrack...

4 out of 5 stars Removed one star for broken packaging.......2007-08-05

This isn't a review of the CD itself as there are many others that will qualify this as a great collection. That, indeed, is the reason I ordered it.

I'm writing merely to tell people that when I removed the CD from the plastic wrapping, the CD case (a case that holds two CDs in one case, therefore hard to replace)fell apart. I think perhaps that it, along with the other CD I had shipped with it, were shrink wrapped too tightly and that caused the Journey CD case to crack.

The thing is, I didn't know this was going to happen before I took the plastic wrap off the CD, and once you do that, you can't return it.

I won't buy another double CD from Amazon. Shop carefully.

4 out of 5 stars Make's me feel like I'm in high school again ~.~.......2007-08-04

I'm so glad I got this CD.It's all my Journey albums (records) on 2 cd's.My 14 yr old dig's it too.The only 2 thing's I can say bad about it,is it make's me bummed Steve Perry won't reunite and tour with Journey.Cmon Steve!!!! Us 38-52 year old's need a good concert to go to.AND...........where in the world did Feelin that way go?????

4 out of 5 stars Journey---The Essential Journey.......2007-07-24

I, a Journey fan for 29 years, love this album. I must say, however, that it is missing some tracks that I would have loved to see included i.e. Winds of March, Sweet and Simple, and Feelin' That Way preceding Anytime. It gives a nice sampling of all of their eras, but a true Journey fan will long for more. I would recommend Time3 over this, but would indeed recommend INFINITY, EVOLUTION, and ESCAPE, for a more in-depth view into the heart of Journey...

4 out of 5 stars Gotta Love Journey if You Wanta Rock.......2007-07-06

First, I only write reviews on items I bought through Amazon; which is a lot.

It's been a long time since I listened to Journey and for the life of me I don't know why. This Greatest Hits CD has got it all.

Buy it, save it and listen to it all the time for that instant rush everyone needs.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Hits PLUS!.......2007-06-28

All the greatest Journey hits, plus songs you may have missed like "Chain Reaction" from FRONTIERS (how many times did we request that one to radio DJs, Arch?)

Journey's not rock royalty, but some of their songs resonate so strongly...whaddya gonna do? =)

Amazon.com essential recording

The great irony of John Barry's Academy Award-winning score for Out of Africa (which also took the Oscar as Best Picture) is that it almost never was; director Sydney Pollack had originally envisioned the film with native African music, going as far as laying the indigenous score down as he was editing. But the weight of John Barry's arguments--not to mention his considerable track record and composing gifts--held sway, and the composer delivered on his intent: a lush, romantic masterpiece for the ages. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Simply beautiful.......2007-01-11

Out of Africa is a CD with beautiful music. When I listen to it, I imagine myself in the nature of Africa. You will enjoy it!

2 out of 5 stars CD has missing track.......2006-12-03

John Barry's compositions are pleasantly sweeping. There's nothing wrong with this album, just not really enough to recommend it.

I was puzzled to learn that some time between my buying the LP record and the issuing of this CD, the track "The Music of Goodbye (love theme from Out of Africa)" was omitted. It's not that this song, sung by Melissa Manchester, is a must-have; it's more that it's sneaky to leave off tracks when you reissue a soundtrack in another format.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointed.......2006-11-10

I absolutely love the music from Out of Africa, but I do not recommend this CD at all. The sound quality is so poor that I could only bear listening to it once.

5 out of 5 stars Worth Buying!.......2006-11-06

Highly recommended for those who love instrumental music. A lot of beautiful flute, strings and some piano and harp. Very contemplative and hauntingly beautiful music.

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2006-11-04

For me, one of the best music of last decade. Romantic, full of sense. Please give a listen at least

Album Description

Beginning and ending in the sky while touching down everywhere in between, Anael's 4th album is an uncompromising personal invitation into the celestial heavens. The innocent and dreamlike "See Another World," opens the senses, and each subsequent song is a brief stop on her flight. "Till the Womb Gives Birth" explores the mindset of a steadfast, faithful creator searching for the truth; "Trace" recounts our ability to connect with God by simply mirroring a higher set of ideals. As the journey progresses, we sense a newfound sense of assuredness in Anael's outlook, the script of a soul who is starting to uncover a fresh perspective. What keeps it all believable is her everpresent deliberation and questioning, well tempered with a healthy dose of humility.

Culminating with perhaps her finest studio achievement to date, the 11 minute opus "Sky Sent (Disclosure)" gives us a multi-angle vista of an unprecedented event in human history, the uncovering of hidden technologies that have the power to literally transform life on earth.

Through this constant juxtaposition of earthly concerns and human dreams, Anael reveals the multiple resonances of our universe, using a vast array of vibrations all geared towards heightening the listener's awareness. She leads us into the pure silence of the untouchable, the unexplained, the invisible - all while while charming us with her sense of bewilderment at it all. Finally, as she carries us away on her wings to the next destination, we're inclined to believe. These things of which she sings can truly be our reality.

5 out of 5 stars Swept away to another world.......2007-05-11

When I hear the clear, angelic voice of Anael, I think of her as the American/Canadian version of Enya. Like Enya, Anael's songs have a similar sound, feel and texture to them. Unlike Enya, Anael's songs aren't usually nearly as *busy* and are kept sparse in special effects so as to not take away from the natural beauty of Anael's voice. Admittedly, many of the composer, Bradford's works are based on the Roman Catholic Canon. However, some of her lyrics contain references and ideas that are strictly elements of the New Age religion. At times the words can be difficult to understand but even when she sings in other languages than English, one senses the mood and meaning of the song. Not many artists have the ability to bring a listener to tears of unexplainable joy and peace however this is what happens while playing any of Anael's songs. The songs are written to act as adornment to Anael's vocals. Her multi-layering vocal tracks become the lead instrument and the added strings, percussion and synthesizer accompany her, instead of the other way around. She is a joy to listen to and the enhanced CD contains desktop images of Anael while the music video of "Be Still Thy Soul", in MP4 format is a nice bonus for those able to view it. Sporting the same white gown as the cover art, Anael sings "Be Still" while the camera sweeps in and around her as she gently waves the layered linen fabric as if donning wings of an angel. The Gregorian vocal at the end of the final tract make for a nearly picture perfect ending.

My first exposure to Anael was through the CD "Unconditional". In my opinion, "Spiritual Beings..." make the perfect bookend set of CDs for this artist, if one had to chose only two CDs. I am eagerly anticipating hearing her newest release that is beautiful if only for the cover artwork. Put this CD on and you'll be swept away to another world free of the day to day madness. Enjoy this light, cotton candy for the ears!

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS CD!!!.......2007-01-10

I was looking for something spiritual and uplifting, and this is the perfect CD. Anael has an angelic voice -- absolutely beautiful and mesmorizing. The lyrics and music by Bradfield are amazing. I have bought this CD for my friends! I have purchased several of her other CD's, and by far, this is my favorite.

5 out of 5 stars A new age masterpiece!.......2003-10-18

I have been enjoying this divine album for several months already (I live in Canada) and when I came here to Amazon, I couldn't believe that no one had even written a review yet...! So let me take a few moments to share my own, personal thoughts with you. I first discovered Anael's unique artistry with her "Unconditional" album about 2 years ago, and this latest album (her 4th) is among the most compelling, beautiful albums I have ever experienced. I use the word "experience" because with Anael, there is so much more than just the "listening". If you've never heard Anael's voice, let me try and describe it: breathtaking, crystal clear, with a tone so pure it sounds like the guardia angel of heaven. With every word she sings, you can feel the effect on your soul, as though a warm, divine light is fixed upon you, shining down from above. On "Spiritual Beings on a Human Journey" she sings about both the human and spiritual worlds, and how they intertwine with each other. My own personal favorites are track 2, "Till the Womb Gives Birth," track 6 "Trace" (amazing) track 8 "Être Sans Âge" where Anael sings in French and the final one, "Sky Sent (Disclosure)." This song is over 11 minutes long(!) and has 4 distinct musical movements. It's like a mini new age opera, complete with the fascinating story of hidden ET technologies and the importance for mankind to reveal them. I think that even if this were the only song on the album, I would be satisfied - it's just that special. In terms of packaging, the people at Anael's record label spare no expense and it really makes for a feast of the senses. The album comes in a cardboard style case that opens up twice and contains gorgeous angel paintings, all arranged conceptually to match the lyrics from the song "Sky Sent". There`s even a 24 page color booklet with all of the words plus more photos. I have played this album in countless therapy sessions and my clients usually end up asking me where they can buy their own copy. I urge you gently to discover it for yourself. As one of my patients told me: "Anael`s music very simply changed my life."
