2 out of 5 stars A major disapointment.......2007-08-02

I am a huge fan of the first two BarlowGirl albums, but I must say this one is lacking severely compared to the first two. It starts off with one great rocker, and then immediately goes into two slow songs. After that it never really caught my attention because there was nothing there to get my attention.

The remaining seven songs were all mid tempoed to slow songs that I just did not care for. I hope this is not the new path they are going down. This album is defnitely for a different crowd than the last two were. I desperately wanted to like this album, and I have been eagerly anticipating it for some time.

I will put this disclaimer in here. I am not a fan of most bands in this genre. I like Killswitch Engage, Megadeth, As I Lay Dying, and Underoath, so maybe I am the exception and not the rule, but I doubt it.

5 out of 5 stars Different, but AMAZING........2007-08-01

BarlowGirl has grown alot, spiritually, lyrically, and musically. True, this CD does have a very different feel from their previous two albums, this one is a bit less rock, and has more of the contemporary christian feel to it. But I can honestly say this is some of the best Christian music I have ever listened to.
The album is alot darker, lyrically and musically. It deals with the hardships of living the Christian life, with themes of hope, faith, and spiritual warfare. The lyrics are very deep and masterful, expressing the girls' faith through the years.

1. Song for the Broken (8/10) - The opener for this album starts out with a lot of strings, very catchy and guitar-driven, but doesnt stand out as much as the other songs.

2. I Believe in Love (10/10) - Fell in love with this on first listen. Powerful lyrics, deals with faith in midst of hardships.

3. Here's my Life (10/10) - The album's first single. This song takes awhile to get into, starts out very slow with synthesizers but ends strong with a lot of guitars.

4. Keep Quiet (8/10) - very bass-driven, but seems to lack something musically, deals with not being ashamed to speak about your faith.

5. Million Voices (10/10) - BarlowGirl's most outspoken song yet! This song is where the album's name "How Can We Be Silent" comes from. Sends an anthem to this generation. A ton of guitar, distortion, and drums. This is their rockiest song so far.

6. Sweet Revenge (9/10) - Also a very catchy song with strings. Deals with forgiveness.

7. One More Round (9/10) - BarlowGirl's first attempt at Jazz, one of the songs that make this CD so different. It took me a couple listens to like it. This song is where the CD cover's boxing ring comes from. No matter how many times we get knocked down, we have to get up and go for one more round.

8. Take My Chances (6/10) - Not my favorite. It comes from Romans 12:2, the verse BarlowGirl is most known for. The lyrics are pretty good, but musically it sounds too much like your typical rock band.

9. Guy Song (8/10) - This song is a challenge to the guys to stand up for their beliefs. Lyrically, good, musically, alright, but this song just somehow doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the album.

10. I Don't Regret (10/10) - The ballad of the CD. very melancholic. Lyrics are very deep, one of the songs that really show the maturity of the girls' song writing.

This CD is one of the best, highly recommended whether you've been a long time fan or not.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous .......2007-07-27

I am very happy that I bought this CD. I had never heard of BarlowGirl until they performed in Dallas, TX at the Celebrate Freedom concert at Southfork Ranch...Their song "Million Voices" was what made me determined that I would get this CD on July 24th.

The musicianship in this group is very impressive, and I've about decided I am going to go back to the Christian store and purchase more of their music.

4 out of 5 stars Praiseworthy Music!.......2007-07-26

While I was listening to HOW CAN WE BE SILENT yesterday, staring down at the CD's cover art, I was struck with a perilous thought: exactly how wrong is it to stare at the fresh, polished, beautiful faces of your favorite Christian girl band and only be able to think about sinning? Let's be honest! They're stunning to look at! They're beautiful girls, growing into beautiful women! Not just beautiful but Maybelline beautiful! Faces that could launch a thousand ships beautiful, and that's what they're doing musically! Yeah, I'm gonna burn -- I know -- but that's like drinking Kerosene to make sure I burn quicker than is absolutely necessary.

Back to the main topic ...

As a matter of personal taste, I'd have to admit that HOW CAN WE BE SILENT isn't as strong as their previous outing (ANOTHER JOURNAL ENTRY, with its terrific pop/rockish anthem 'I Need You To Love Me,' spawned two releases -- the original and a special edition), but that's largely because ANOTHER -- the group's second disk -- really catapulted the Barlow girls to the stratosphere of the Christian music industry so it's inevitably a hard act to follow.

Still, the girls have matured, and so has their sound. The music -- while a bit melancholy, a bit meditative -- is more complex than the tracks on ANOTHER JOURNAL ENTRY (I think one of the attributes of that disc is the fact that the music felt stripped down to basics, matching their Journalized thoughts, a huge strong point); as they've grown, matured, experienced new challenges to life and faith, they've brought their music with them, and it's followed the same course. Their harmonies are far more poised, pronounced, and polished, and I think the only weakness here to matching musical complexity with lyrical complexity (if there is such a thing) is that I found myself trying to listen past the lyrics to hear some of the amazing sounds. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, just ironically distracting at times.

Thankfully, though, Barlowgirl knows how to rock, as is evidenced on my favorite track, 'Million Voices.' This is a massive track -- arguably this disk's 'I Need You To Love Me' -- a breakout runaway personal theme song for the entire Christian rock industry if not their entire Christian movement spanning centuries. (Yeah, maybe that's a bit strong, but so's the song!) With a driving beat and throbbing rock coupled with heavenly harmonies, this is the track I kept going back to over and over and over again. This is the track that, like their previous disc, was the perfect blend of words and music.

Keep at it, girls, keep 'journaling' your music. In my book, you'll always be a wonderful act for inspiration.

Though not their first-ever career survey, Rush's Spirit of Radio compilation is an ideal point of entry for newbie fans or anyone who consistently likes the Rush songs most often heard on commercial radio. While 1990's Chronicles set was more encompassing--including tracks beyond Spirit of Radio's '87 cut-off point--the Canadian prog-rock trio's benchmark moments are represented among these 16 songs. Hence the appearance of "Closer to the Heart," "Tom Sawyer," "New World Man," "Time Stand Still," "Fly by Night," "Subdivisions," and the title track. --Kim Hughes

5 out of 5 stars The Spirit of Radio, the hits of Rush.......2007-02-02

Well, pretty self-explanatory here, A collection of Rush hits from 1974-1987.
Rush has three decades of music to sift through so with "The Spirit of Radio", it's a nice collection of hits from their earliest studio albums up to the late eighties.

I enjoyed the double CD set "Chronicles" that they released in 1990 which was also a nice hits package, but this is still something to savor. Old classics like "Working Man" are still as energetic a listen as when I first heard them, and the song I myself think of them the most by which is "Fly By Night" is on here as well. Jump to track three and you will experience the eclectic and timeless space overture known as "2112 Overture/Temples of Syrinx" Syrinx clocks in at over six minutes long and has a lot of depth in musicianship and instrumental prowess. The ever poetic "Closer to the Heart" is a woeful and powerful single that is another gem on the album. "The Trees" is another classic that is a creative song with a lot of meaning and a killer guitar solo. "The spirit of Radio" is a pick me up and graciously stages Neal Peart's drum expertise at the forefront. "Freewill" is another old friend that is clever in its lyrics and has some dark tones to it amidst a range of great sounds and melodies. The emotional opening of "Limelight" takes you further on the journey of hits and is one of my favorites with Geddy Lee forging ahead with vocals that evoke various themes and thoughts.

Track nine is "Tom Sawyer", perhaps the most popular FM Radio hit the band had from the album "Moving Pictures". Along for the ride (no pun intended) from that album is also the Futuristic sci-fi theme of "Red Barchetta" which is about a boy in a strict government dominating future that has "car laws" and as you listen you experience the day he takes his uncles hidden car for a ride. The powerful anthem of "New World Man" glides in at track eleven and is one of the more ambient songs from the bands later material. "Subdivisions" is as dire as ever and has an intro that one cannot miss. The pop synergy of "Distant Early Warning" is on here as well, followed by another FM staple in the catchy track known as "The Big Money".

The album rounds out with the epic track "Force Ten" that is fast and fun, and although I was never a big fan of the song, still has enough staying power to definitely be included on here. The sonic "Time Stand Still" comes in as track sixteen and has some amazing changeups in tone. Heartfelt in the chorus, Time Stand Still is the perfect song to end this masterpiece collection with.

If you even "like" Rush, you should look into getting this album. Thirteen years of various songs that make for a sound and complete hits package for perhaps what could be called the "First Half" of the bands tenure. I wasn't sure at first about getting a CD like this of the bands material since I already had several studio albums from over the years, but I got this delivered today and definitely don't regret it now. They are one of the most innovative and artistic rock bands of the past thirty years, so how could you go wrong?

5 out of 5 stars A comprehensive compilation.......2007-01-14

It has all the songs I was looking for. If you are a fan of Rush, this is actually a no brainer.

4 out of 5 stars "Catch the spirit" of Rush! Good for beginners. .......2006-10-29

This is a fair representation of their work from 1974-87. Some fans may argue that there are some tracks not on here that should be. Never mind them. If your serious about buying some of their music this is as good a place to start as any.

What are you waiting for?! Pick it up, put it in and let it spin!!

5 out of 5 stars HA!!! FED UP MAKES ME LAUGH!!!.......2006-10-26

please tell me that fed up guy is a joke. did he seriously give an nsync album 5 stars?!? that can't be real. no one actually LIKES nsync. anyway i don't think it needs further explanation. if u are into nsync then this album is probably not for you, if you on the other hand like authentic classic rock and perhaps one of the greatest things to ever come out of canada then this album is for you!

5 out of 5 stars A valuable resource for creativity.......2007-07-11

I have found Jeffery Thompson's Theta CDs a useful aid to creativity over the past 4-5yrs promoting calming and focus. I play it through Windows media player with SoundSpectum's G-Force frequency responsive image software to reinforce the effect and involve the visual brain.

5 out of 5 stars Very good.......2007-06-26

I am very pleased with this CD, the music is very calming and relaxing. I don't know if it actually gets me into a theta state as I have no way of measuring my brain waves with an EEG device but it does get me more relaxed and stress-free and thats what I care about. Highly recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars Takes the edge off..........2007-06-13

I find this CD really helps me rejuvenate and re-energize if I haven't had enough sleep or otherwise feel fatigued. It's particularly helpful on days following a night of insomnia, and leaves me feeling as if I'd caught up on the missed sleep. It also provides powerful assistance for creative visualization sessions.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT PRODUCT.......2007-03-19

I LOVED THE CD'S, HOWEVER I DIDN'T GET THE BOOK. ALL OF THIS GUYS MUSIC IS PHENOMINAL. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful!.......2007-02-16

I have bought several guided imagery cd's for relaxation and have found the voices on them to be irritating or the content to be kinda stupid. So I bought some nature sounds like ocean waves etc and found them to be relaxing but not exactly trance inducing. This cd is amazing. At first it just sounds like a new age cd but when you use it to meditate it pulls you in to a state of very deep relaxation. My whole body felt tingly. I don't think I have ever felt so at peace. I plan on buying all his cd's and using them every day!!!

Album Description

This is Snatam Kaur's latest release and it is a joy to behold. Snatam has woven a magnificent tapestry of Gurmukhi, English, violin, guitar and flute and produced an album that is both spiritually moving and foot tapping at the same time.

Like every Kundalini Yoga class, the album begins with the chant Ong Namo and unfolds with Snatam's flawless voice dancing over gentle flute, Indian violin, nylon string guitar and subtle keyboard. She weaves in devotional English lyrics such that one experiences the essence of the Gurmukhi chant with simple clarity.

With deeply-moving music composed jointly by Thomas Barquee and Snatam Kaur, the second track, Ray Man, seduces listeners into a state of sublime meditation. The lyrics translate to "Oh my mind, practice yoga in this way."

The third track, Hari Har, is the liveliest song Snatam has ever recorded. A fast-paced, drum-filled mantra that gets you up on your feet, this track introduces us to a much stronger side of Snatam's vocals.

The next track, a simple and beautiful version of the healing meditation Ra Ma Da Sa, is accompanied by slow and soft classical guitar and keyboards with the flavor of a lazy river, gently flowing by on a summer afternoon.

The final two tracks reveal the true cross-over nature of this album. Both in English, they are two songs very near to Snatam's heart. The first, By Thy Grace, has been a favorite at her live performances over the last year. This track sheds light on the title of the album, opening with the line "It is by the Grace that I sing Your Holy Name." Closing with an original composition of the Irish blessing, May the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You … a sweet and grace-filled farewell prayer.

5 out of 5 stars Great as yoga music.......2007-02-11

I heard this music during my yoga class at the local recreation center and asked the instructor what it was. I then purchased it on Amazon and have been listening to it in the car and at home. My daughter even listens to it before going to bed to wind down. I love the first song particularly and the title song.

5 out of 5 stars Angelic Voice that brings me peace and calmness.......2006-12-23

I had no idea if I would like this CD and Singer, but now that I have recieved the CD, her voice is so smooth and sweet as honey, calming, peaceful, and makes me feel like everything is good in the world. It's great for relaxing to, background music, massage, yoga, driving, and graceful or slow flow-like dancing. It would be good as a cool-down music after a good work-out too. If it were sound track to a movie, it would be great for beautiful landscape or the uplifting feel good end of a movie when everything turned out the way you were hoping it would. My husband is very sound-sensative and auditorily tuned-in, and remarked, "Her voice is beautiful!" He says the about very few voices. I am glad I took the chance on this CD, and don't regret it at all. I will definately order some more of her CDs, now that I hear how great she is. I am pleased with my purchas!

5 out of 5 stars Snatam Kaur Khalsa.......2006-01-14

Devine beauty delivered in a soul revitalizing blend of eastern and western harmonics. She is even better live if you get a chance to see her.

5 out of 5 stars Divine Perfection - A Soundtrack for my Life.......2005-03-27

With an extensive music library, I find myself returning almost exclusively to Snatam Kaur. I have every one of her CD's on constant rotation in my home, car, and office. Not only do I absolutely love listening, meditating, and living to her music. But I've come to realize that I operate from a better and more loving place when I have her playing in the background while at my demanding and high-profile job in the corporate offices of a fortune 50 company.

With so much gratitude, thank you Snatam for becoming the soundtrack to my life.

My 3 year old LOVES watching the movie, "Spirit" and with a soundtrack performed by Brian Adams -- is actually one kid's movie that I don't mind watching over and over and over. We bought this soundtrack for him and he enjoys listening to it as much as he enjoys watching the movie -- and so do I! Great songs!!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!.......2007-03-09

My three year old girl loves horses. Spirit is her favorite movie and the cd is her number one choice to listen to. She knows the words to all the songs and it really is fun to just listen to her sing or hum, even when the music isn't playing.

My kids (4) have loved this CD for years. We are now having to buy a new one. They know every note to every song. They adore this CD! As for the movie, we have bought several because they have loved it so much (they played it so much & have scratched it). Enjoy as a Family!

"So I'm a little left of center, I'm a little out of tune," sings Michelle Branch on her debut album's "You Get Me." Well, maybe. Branch offers a well-produced pastiche of chiming and strumming guitars, hip-hop-lite beats, quiet-verse-to-louder-chorus templates, and positive thinking. At her best--"If She Only Knew," a propulsive love note to an ex--she rivals the likes of Sixpence None the Richer as likable radio-aimed fare. Catchy and self-expressive while breaking absolutely no ground, Branch also echoes everyone from label-mate Alanis Morissette to the solo Belinda Carlisle. She dies just a little in this crazy mixed-up world, escapes to her secret garden for sunshine in the pouring rain, and ultimately finds her reflection getting clearer. The Spirit Room could be the next bit of pop philosophy to dazzle mainstream audiences. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars very impressive.......2007-06-22

I don't know how old Michelle Branch was when she recoded this CD, but I am sure she's old enough to be my daughter that I would have had in my 20's. Her lyrics are ingsightful without alienating audience in her age group but retain a certain sophistication beyond her years. Imagine she wrote most the songs, co-wrote some, played the guitar and the base, and what a crystalline voice, the kind that is timeless and can transcend her listeners. It is nice to know that The Woman Song Writing tradition started by Joni Mitchel, Joan Armatrading and such will be continued, for this reason, I think Michelle Branch will be around for a while.

It's pop, that isn't OVERLY poppy. Somewhat like Vanessa Carlton. I appreciate Michelle's lyrics because they are just so true sometimes. She's a bit angsty, she's left wondering and she longs for love...in mildly interesting ways and it shows. It's just really nice to be able to truly relate to someone in the music industry. I mean it happens, but not as often as we like sometimes.

And don't get me started on John Shanks. This guy is a musical genius. He works with Michelle Branch on production and helps write five of the eleven songs on this nice full length debut. He is also responsible for the catchiness of Ashlee Simpson songs, which most of them I love.

Best songs:
All You Wanted
Goodbye To You
Drop In The Ocean (this song is amazing)

Honorable Mention:
Something To Sleep To

If you don't own any CDs by this talented singer/songwriter/guitarist/etc, etc. It would be wise to start at the beginning with The Spirit Room.

The only thing that bothered me a bit was the song titles: Maybe I'm in the minority, but some of them were just too predictable, leaving some of the songs to lack a bit of depth. I believe Michelle was rather young when she wrote some of these songs though...

Anyway, 4 stars!

P.S. My favorite line is in the song Goodbye To You. It's capitalized:

"I've been searchin' deep down in my soul/Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old/Feels like I'm starting all over again/THE LAST 3 YEARS WERE JUST PRETEND...

5 out of 5 stars " If you want to, I can save you..." - Michelle Branch ROCKS .......2007-05-20

Ok now I've been a Huge fan of Michelle Branch, I mean after all those fake stars that producers put up, Michelle is refreshing! IT's also funny since my name's Michelle too! I can play almost all her songs on the guitar, and her voice is great! I wish I can sing like her but I can't (sigh). Well anyway, I'll just rate the songs...

1. Everywhere- 10/10 This song's one of my favorites! It has a nice upbeat tune to it, and the lyrics are catchy. A great way to start a career.
2. You get me- 10/10 Another Great song! I like the lyrics "So I'm a little left of center, I'm a little out of tune". It's great for any teen who feels ordinary.
3. All you wanted-10/10 Such a good song! I can feel it's about her trying to save a boy from the popular crowd. Here everything fits.. the lyrics, music, everything.
4.You set me free- 9/10- Everything's good in this song, just not upbeat enough for me, but it's also great!
5.Something to sleep to- 8/10 As the song says.. it's good to listen to if you want a soothing sensation before sleeping!
6.Here with me-9/10 Not the best, but still has everything nice and flowing. I like it.
7.Sweet Misery- 9/10 It's catchy, and the musics good, but I like All you wanted and Everywhere better.
8.If she only knew- 10/10 This is another favorite! It's fun, and I'm sure anyone would love Michelle after hearing this song.
9. I'd rather be in love- 9/10 This song shows Michelle wise beyond 18. The lyrics fit the mood and music of the song.
10.Goodbye to you- 10/10 A song about moving on with your life. This fits all the feeling you're supposed to fell after a break-up. Another fave.
11.Drop in the Ocean- 8/10 A bit too mellow for me, but it's perfect to end the album.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful tunes and lyrics.......2007-01-08

I am not a professional reviewer, so I will keep the simple. This album is absolutely beautiful. It has soft gentle spirituality to the music and the lyrics. I love it and believe Michelle Branch is underestimated as a song writer and an artist. I hope she never stops writing and playing music, she has a wonderful future!

5 out of 5 stars Michelle Branch rocks!.......2006-12-26

I got this yesterday for Christmas after hearing the song, " You Set Me Free" used on the Ice Princess Soundtrack, and i love it! Well, most of it. Here's my review of The Spirit Room.

1. Everywhere- 9/10- A fun and upbeat song. Pretty good, love the intro to it.

2. You Get Me- 5/10- It's pretty, but just too slow to me. Maybe it'll grow on me eventually.

3. All You Wanted- 10/10- The BEST on the album. Love it! Was this a single? If not, it definalty should have been.

4. You Set Me Free- 10/10- Like i already wrote, I got this CD after hearing this song on Ice Princess. Really good and fun to sing to.

5. Something to Sleep To- 7/10- OK. You should listen to it if you want to go to sleep. I still think it's OK.

6. Here With Me- 9/10- Love the beginning and the chorus. It seems like a really good song for a party.

7. Sweet Misery- 6/10- OK also. I just don't really like how the chorus is and it's too short.

8. If Only She Knew- 10/10- Fun and cool. One of my favorites.

9. I'd Rather Be in Love- 7/10- Sounds alot like Sweet Misery.

10. Goodbye to You- 8/10- This is a really pretty song about moving on in life.

11. Drop in the OCean- I don't really get this song. I'm not going to rate it.

Overall, this CD gets an A. It's pretty good. I think you should buy it.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Really good! .......2007-07-02

I heard big daddy for the first time in 2001! I was blessed by them and so were the entire crew that was with us. Their lyrics are honest and they are really good musicians to boot! On this albumn, the Rich Mullins song "Hold Me Jesus" is my favorite!

5 out of 5 stars This album rocks!.......2007-01-13

I have been a big fan of Big Daddy Weave for a long time, so when I saw their new album, "Every Time I Breathe" at Wal-Mart, I had to buy it. I listened to it and decided that it was one of the best cds I had found in a long time. I have listened to the song "Every Time I Breathe" over and over again and it still moves me every time i listen to it. The other 10 songs are nothing short of excellent as well. A great cd that is a little more mellow than their previous releases but still upbeat with uplifting lyrics. This cd is a definite keeper!

5 out of 5 stars Great Music to the Soul!.......2007-01-12

I can listen to this CD over and over and never get tired of it. It has an uplifting message and a catchy beat. The heart of the music keeps you coming back for more and going higher every time. You'll end up singing along and dancing in your seat.

5 out of 5 stars sweet, sincere band with soft hearts for the KING of Kings!.......2007-01-02

This album is incredible & very well balanced. It comes off a little more mellow than previous efforts, and just as Christ-exalting! Like Chris Tomlin, the vocals are softer and gentler than many bands, but do not lose the punchy edge that keeps big daddy weave the upbeat, Spirit-filled quintet they are. As on stage, so it is with this album, the joy of the LORD flows from the music these guys put together! PRAISE GOD! as they sing on 'every time i breathe', "...everytime i get another glimpse of Your heart, i realize, it's True; that You are so marvelous God! and i am so in love with You!..." 'all for you' rejoices in the miracle of New Life in Christ! 'when i see You' is a beautiful, melodic testament to the transforming power of Christ Jesus in the life of a believer! Praise the LORD He never lets go of His own!!! The bubbling reconstruction of the familiar hymn, 'trust and obey' is really pleasing, and breathes new life into this wonderful, God-honoring song! Of course the remakes of the Maranatha! Singers' 'let it rise', and Rich Mullins' classic, heart-felt 'hold me Jesus', are very rich, also. This is an record full of wonderful treasures. You will not regret buying this as a seasoned fan of big daddy weave, OR as a gentle introduction to this talented and sincere band's records... and DO NOT pass up the awesome experience of seeing them in concert! a WONDERFUL and ROCKIN' time, indeed!

5 out of 5 stars Let It Rise.......2006-09-27

The first time I heard "Let It Rise", which incidentaly was when they performed it live at a concert I was at, I was moved. This is another great album for BDW. Could not wait to grab a copy upon its release. Love the horns on one of the tracks, and the violin too, they add just the right flavor. "Let the songs of the Lord, rise among us!" Thanks BDW!

It's time for an update of our image of Jewel, the ingenue who set the music world on fire with her 1995 debut album, Pieces of You. After all, that effort consisted primarily of songs Jewel had written several years before, some of them dating back to her days as a free- spirited waif living in a van on the beach in San Diego. Now, at 25, she's become a sort of guru for self-expression and full disclosure, revealing perhaps too much of herself in see-through dresses worn to awards shows and a critically drubbed (yet bestselling) book of poetry. Spirit makes plain why Jewel's well-intentioned yet sometimes facile lyrics strike a chord with her audience while her poetry lies flat on the page. On songs like "Deep Water," "Hands," and "Down So Long," her words are borne aloft by sparkling melodies and her soaring voice, making even the most cynical observer take a schoolgirl-notebook image such as "your heart like grape gum on the ground" or an unreassuring platitude like "If I could tell the world just one thing / It would be that we're all OK" somewhat in stride. On Pieces of You, Jewel posed the musical question "Who will save your soul?" On Spirit, it sounds like she wants to do it herself. And the truth is, if you don't overanalyze it, the album does act as a sort of balm for wounded psyches or maybe a primer for raising your own inner child. Maybe she's right and we are all OK. Who knew? --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great Jewel Cd.......2007-01-08

This CD delivers. Jewel makes great CDs... her first CD is the best, but this one is a close second. With tracks like Hands, Down So Long, and Deep Water, Jewel is timeless.... the first 9 tracks are the best. Great purchase.

4 out of 5 stars some rhythm in the madness.......2007-01-02

Jewel's voice is unmistakable.

It either draws one in with ineffable appeal, or puts one off in the way of people who try a little too hard.

This reviewer puts this down to the combination of fine skills and a twist of artistic narcissism that seems to penetrate the lady's art. Marshall McLuhan famously claimed that 'the medium is the message'. Jewel often seems to be forcing a message into an art form that is not exactly fitted to the effort.

Yet she sometimes breaks through to persuasiveness, even with a tune that is heavily laden with message ('Hands').

It may be that this artist with the stunning good looks and the almost eery voice will remain a musical enigma, the twin impulses she generates creating two distinct publics, one highly devoted to her every album, the other cynical and generative of nasty-minded anti-Jewel websites.

She has styled herself a kind of troubadour of the religion of tolerant niceness. This is all good, as far as it goes. Yet it inevitably wears thin when its definition of either religion, tolerance, or niceness bumps into others that it finds incomprehensible. An artist who stays to conventional themes runs little risk of this happening. But Jewel, like the dinner guest who brings up religion, politics, or sex at the dinner table, will doubtless continue to find herself called upon to articulate her convictions. That tends to make art messy, ideological, and short-lived.

Yet just when one begins to fear the worst, she ends an album with a hauntingly gorgeous love song like 'Absence of Fear', its gentle piano intro setting the stage for a humble, poignant, and yearning piece. Enigma indeed.

Let's hope Jewel's considerable gifts trump any dire artistic turn of events and that she continues to toss off the striking hit ever year or two.

5 out of 5 stars This album is beautiful.......2006-08-19

This is the first Jewel cd that I have purchased and I think I'm offically a Jewel fan. Her voice is very addictive and calming. I love that fact that her lyrics uplift humanity. This is a great album. I want to purchase the rest of her albums now.
I recommend it to all.

5 out of 5 stars Boosts my SPIRIT........2006-08-01

I originally got this because I began to wear out "Pieces of You" and decided to hear her other works. Now I find myself listen to it everywhere I go. All of these songs have wonderful meaning, and show a bit more of what the world needs now. The best selections in my opinion include "Deep Water", "Hands" "Life Uncommon", and "Absence of Fear", which all strike an abyss deep inside that I never would have discovered otherwise. This CD is great to hear anywhere because it gives you a sense of power that you can only find in artists of this caliber. I wish her luck on this latest album "Goodbye Alice in Wonderland". Just another stepping stone towards greatness!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Thought-Provoking.......2006-06-18

I usually buy the cd of the moment and within months it is lost and forgotten in my vast collection. This cd is the exception. I was a Jewel fan from the beginning, but I believe this album is her best to date. It is one of the few that I continue to play and I have owned this album for years. In fact I am on my second disc because I wore out the original. Her lyrics have a purity to them and the melodies are very sweet and carry the lines well. My favorite track has to be "Life Uncommon." The line "No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from," has stayed with me since I first heard the song. It seems so simple, yet it is rarely seen. The whole album is incredible. Now her songs are in my head, I think I'm going to have to listen to it now. Enjoy.

Book Description

"Kirtan is the calling, the crying, the reaching across infinite space—and digging into the heart's deepest well—to touch and be touched by the Divine Presence," teaches world music pioneer Jai Uttal. On Kirtan! The Art and Practice of Ecstatic Chant, Jai guides listeners through the practice of Kirtan—singing the many names of God and Goddess—an essential part of Bhakti yoga, or the yoga of devotion. This sacred music form is for all people; there are no experts, nor beginners, and the practice itself is the teacher, guiding us to ourselves. Listeners join Jai Uttal to explore: the power of ancient Sanskrit syllables in chant to invoke the Divine, how to open the voice and learn to love the sound that comes from our bodies, more than two hours of music recorded by Jai Uttal to commune with the Divine through sacred chant, and the path of Bhakti and Kirtan, the journey of surrender, and much more.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars "A Joyful Noise".......2007-05-16

When I heard an interview on NPR with this artist,Jai Uttal,and music from his CD I couldn't get it out of my mind. It is "a joyful noise" that lifts the spirit and energizes. His very personal explanation of Kirtan on Track 2 gives one an understanding of the spiritual basis of the music and even if it is not a path that you might follow you can't help but be swept up in the chanting. I play it in the car on days when I feel stressed and it removes all that chatter in my head and helps me arrive at my destination uplifted and in the present. His interpretation of the ancient chants using non traditional instruments and renditions is appealing and engaging. P.S.It is a 2 disc set so you can have one at home and one in the car!

3 out of 5 stars Not As Ecstatic As I Like To Be.......2007-04-22

Although a double CD set, both disks pose a problem to this reviewer's taste. Each contains a rather lengthy exposition by the artist on the nature of Bhakti (Devotional) Yoga sandwiched in the program. Jai Uttal has a very pleasant speaking voice & the material was helpful, even inspiring--but do you really want to hear it all over again everytime you play either discs? I know I don't. The musical material is engaging, but not particularly special. It is authentic mantra, but without the technical brilliance of many such CDs (see links below). I don't regret buying it--again, BUT it won't become a treasured favorite. I don't think it would turn-on people who weren't mantra fanatics like me or a real fan of the artist--or a devotee of Kirtan.

PS. The cover artwork is great!

5 out of 5 stars Devotional music at its sweetest.......2007-03-15

This 2-CD set is one of the best introductions to contemporary kirtan I've come across (and I own many kirtan CDs). Aside from the wonderful spoken section, where Jai Uttal chats informally about what kirtan is, the selection of songs is truly heartwarming. I love both CDs, but find I listen over and over again particularly to the second one for its variety of moods and styles. Jai's voice really cuts deep and brings out the intensity and authenticity of his own devotion to the path of music and the heart.

In addition, the musicianship of everyone featured on this set is superb and adds so much to the listening experience. It is hard not to sing along and feel the blessings flow, even if you are not a singer...and that is exactly the point.

5 out of 5 stars Kirtan: The Art and Practice of Ecstatic Chant by jai Uttal.......2007-03-09

Wonderful kirtan, by a great artist.

5 out of 5 stars How can I express my joy?.......2007-03-06

I was a big fan of Krishna Das and I still am. A couple of weeks ago, for the first time in my life, I heard Jai Uttal's 'Radha Rani ki Jai, Maha Rani ki Jai' - Track # 4 on Disc 2. Like all good music does to my soul, I was so enchanted that I played the same track again and again till I lost count. I wasted no time in getting both the discs and my favorites are as follows:
Disc 1: Track # 3 'Radha Govinda'
Disc 2: Track # 1 'Durga Pahimam', Track # 3 'Jaya Radha', Track # 4 'Radha Rani'
Originally coming from India and being a big proponent of 'Bhakthi Yoga' (Path of devotion and Divine love for God), I can say from the depths of my heart that Jai Uttal sings with such soulful melody and love, it takes my breath away every single time I listen to the tracks mentioned above. It surprises me so much that while I cannot listen to certain types of music even once leave alone repeating my listening experience, the kind of music that Jai Uttal, Krishna Das and others produce, I can listen for a lifetime and experience that joy again and again.

Amazon.com

Sacred Spirit: Chants and Dances of the Native Americans is an 11-song journey bridging the gap between ancient and contemporary history, tradition and modern instrumentation. While it is impossible to fully realize such scope on a single disc, Sacred Spirit makes the choice to represent all indigenous Americans rather than become mired in the potentially divisive bog of politics and tribal allegiance. All but two melodies are entirely traditional, bringing together flute, drums, and vocals with a cello and keyboard wash. This marriage is most effective on the lovely bowing of "The Cradlesong," and the looping electro-acoustic beauty of "Wishes of Happiness & Prosperity." Elsewhere, synthetic elements are overwhelming, detracting from a song's essence, as with the spongy nervosity of "Elevation." An uneven offering, Sacred Spirit doesn't quite live up to its promise. A better choice is Earthbeat's Tribal Waters. --Paige La Grone

I had heard mixed reviews of this CD, but I found it to be amazing.

3 out of 5 stars Very interesting. Worth buying........2007-04-12

There are a few tracks that are really great on this CD. I expected more Native America chanting/singing and less electronic music. That being said, I really like the CD. It does strike a spiritual chord during some of the tracks. There are reviews here that look like they belong in a magazine. I will just say that if you like World Music or New Age music (and they ARE different), I suspect this is a very worthwhile CD to add to your collection.

5 out of 5 stars THE best CD i've bought in a long long time!!!!.......2007-04-09

I was watching one of Youtube's clip of the Grand Canyon's Skywalk that opened up last year on an Indian reservation. The clip has this most beautiful trance-like mellow groove song on it and i HAD to find out what or who it was by. Thanks to the helpful people who posted a reply, i was able to find and obtain this CD. The song on that Youtube clip was called [ Ly-O-Lay Ale Loya (Circle Dance)]. As the title of this comment says, it IS the best CD i've bought in a VERY a long time. In fact i'm listening to it now as i'm writing this.
The combination of Trance, Newage, Lounge and tranquil music is enough to take you away. I wanna say it's like a combination of Deep Forest meets Jam and Spoon meets Enigma. I just can't put it into better words than the other people who has posted the same comments about this CD. I HIGHLY recommend buying this and enjoying it! I just can't seem to get tire of it!

5 out of 5 stars Soothing Native Music.......2007-03-30

I am a fan of infusion between tribal beat and modern music. This collection is wonderful infusion between tribal beat and enchanting vocal blended with modern instrumental sound. If you like Deep Forest you will definitely love this. It is not like Enigma or Magna Canta but it has it's own charm. I am going to buy all Sacred Spirit volumes after hearing this.
