Unique yet familiar, June 24, 2003 By

Deva primal is a unique mixture of her own interpretation or manufacture of mant ras and using the Book "Healing Mantras" ISBN: 1564557359 for inspiration. An ad ded plus is the repetitiveness of her songs instead of changing the mode every f ive minutes or so. Thos album is not necessarily a classic but a hybrid of class ic and contemporary to close the gap between the two worlds. There are better re presentations in both worlds but that does not distract form this great contribu tion. Naturally each listener will select there own favorites, depending on circumstan ces and mood. Most of the time mine is "shree ram jai ram jai jai ram om." Reading the insert will add to the appreciation of these songs. It tells of her background and the purpose of each song or chant. Heartfelt Healing Music, January 12, 2004 By Yoga Dad

I first became aware of Deva Premal's "Embrace" in my Yoga class and finally wen t out and recently got a copy of this CD. This music combines Mantras with eclectic music which draws from many styles. De va Premal has one of the most incredibly beautiful and sincere voices I've ever heard and I find that this music truly reaches inside my heart and elevates my s pirits. It's wonderful music not only to practice yoga with but to hear at any time.

I can't recommend this CD highly enough, it is a truly wonderful gift of music a nd I am looking forward to getting more of her CDs. Namaste I found this disc disappointing compared to Deva's brilliant first CD entitled T he Essence - which is a must have. What seems strange to me is that she is on th e inside cover touching Buddha's chest, while the first track sounds like make-o ut music. Hmmmm.... For what it's worth, an Indian Brahmin confirmed that some o f the mantras are concoctions, too, which does not really set a good precedent. People copy Deva's chanting in their kirtans and in this respect her work is inf luential. Although being innovative can be commendable, spiritual traditional ch ants are, in my opinion, off limits for whimsical changes. I wish she would get her mantras from reliable sources in the future.
