Fasten your seat belts...this is soul-changing music!.......2006-04-26

When I bought this album I had never heard of Lisa Thiel, but an album of Goddess chants was exactly what I had been looking for. Then when I pushed the Play button on my CD player, the first few notes of the first chant zapped my heart so deeply with spiritual beauty that I wept. Now that I have listened to this album many many times, I find myself singing favorite chants throughout the day while driving, feeding my cats, or working in my office. Never have I encountered such beautiful music to glorify the Goddess. I consider the day I bought this album to be a moment of great blessing in my life. You will too. Highly recommended.

Lisa's Greatest Hits!.......2001-11-24

This is Lisa Thiel's Greatest Hits album. And it contains some of her most magnetic songs. From the very first track, you'll be pulled into the mystical, Native American-styled use of her voice, the intoxicating rhythms, and the positive, uplifting Goddessy lyrics. As the tracks go on, you may learn some names of old goddesses from Europe Asia and the Americas that you'd never known before. Each of them are introduced in the course of truly compelling songs.

If you have other Lisa Thiel albums (And I hope you do), then some of these tracks may be repeats since it's sort of a Greatest Hits collection. Check the song list to make sure you don't have them all already. But if you're missing even I'd say five of these tracks, you should go ahead and buy it because almost every song is a must-have.

The songs that were chosen for this collection were mainly the more spirited and catchy of her works. On other albums, there will be more meditative chants. On this one, it's mainly livelier tunes (With only a couple exceptions), and the tracks are mainly ones where she's used her more stylized singing voice. It's wonderful! But you'll probably want her other more understated albums too that show off the silkiness of her voice better.

If you're a Lisa Thiel fan and you're missing at least a fair number of these tracks, then you need to buy the album. No doubt. And if you're new to Lisa, then this is a pretty good album to start with. I know a lot of people for whom this was the album that got them hooked. And she's definitely a voice you want to add to your life.

The Goddess Starts Here!.......2001-08-16

This is one of the most moving and amazing recordings available. I first came across Lisa Thiel's recording 'Prayers for the Planet" quite a few years ago. I found this one a few years later and it really had an incredibly strong impact on me. I cannot recommend this one enough. 'Warrior Goddess' is my favorite track.Gentle and Oh, so powerful! Thanks the gods for Lisa Thiel!!!!!!!!!

Parallel Universe~Nijole Sparkis.......2005-12-22

I just love this CD....I'm in a sad place now and it smoothed me and made me feel better.I'm telling all my friends about this CD.

Touched Me On All Levels.......2005-12-11

What I love about this CD is that it is great on all levels. The music and production are fabulous, with exotic instrumentation. The vocals are beautiful, they have great tone and depth and the words are meaningful. The notes and melodies are interesting to listen to. Overall the whole CD is passionate and uplifting.

Fabulously Woven Styles.......2005-12-04

What a beautiful, dreamy, exotic, album!
I think I've been waiting a long time to hear this music!
I knew I was going to like it from the first amazing guitar riff
- a cross between Chris Isaac and something Middle Eastern like what Jimmy Page would come up with, set against a backdrop of poignant silence. And then you hear Nijole's voice almost whispering -- You rarely hear a voice so soothing and sensuous, but so expressive - her voice is audibly painting a picture with its subtle shades of emotional expression -- and then the music suddenly sweeps up and out into a lavish chorus of siren
song! And then she transports you to some ancient ancestral place when she suddenly goes Lithuanian on ya...! Good stuff... sent shivers down my back. And the girl's got a range, too - check out the unbelievably high notes in "Rise" - I couldn't tell if it was the flute until I heard it playing alongside her vocal,
except much LOWER!

So I thought, of course the first song is good, the second song is good... but I'm sure all the weak songs are going to be towards the end. Not so!! Every song is wonderful.
Each song is different from each the other - one more pop, one more ethnic, one almost jazzy and the last one is almost classical, though this one is the most unique to me - truly Nijole found a completely unique voice in "Evening Prayer".
But somehow no matter how different each song is from the other, the whole album is held together with Nijole's own unique style. She is continuing the Peter Gabriel tradition -- writing pop songs with a different vocabulary, borrowing from exotic influences but still unmistakably pop (or "art pop", as some like to call it). Great melodies that stick with you -- I'm constantly singing a different song in my head. And the words are speaking to our emotional experiences, as well as offering a positive philosophy. She has a unique insight into our psychology...perhaps into her own soul?

And certainly Nijole has found an equally worthy partner in Fritz Heede who did the production -- very lush, very exotic, walking the fine line between ethereal, airy and otherworldly on the one hand, until he brings you crashing down to earth with some wild guitar riff or pulsing ethnic percussion, carving out a style all his own. Each song is like a dramatic piece with a perfectly meshed musical score underlying the meaning - each like a little movie... The musicians on the album are all
very top-notch - always fresh, always creative, nothing clichéd in any of the musical prases or arrangements, which is certainly welcome in today's musical
environment! All in all, I can't help loving this album,
I really look forward to my drive now, knowing that it's going to be really special

Nijole sparkles!.......2005-11-19

Sparkis' cd is a rare combination of original material using contemporary musical references as well as folk sources. Sparkis combines her diverse influences and sources seamlessly. Highly recommended!
