This Cd will earn a permanent spot on your multi CD player, as it has done so with me. I bought this cd 3 years ago, i walked in an ethnic store in miami, it was playing and i immediately was captivatied by it. And everytime i play it, it's like the first time. The songs are phenomenal; rarely does one get all great songs on one cd! The blend of indian singing and dance beat will put you in a trance, beyond your imagination. I feel as if im experiencing an awakening of my spirit when i play this cd, leaving me refreshed and energized. When i entertain and play this cd, someone always ask me what cd is playing, always. It will captivate you aswell, buy it now. and experience what im talking about.

To review the music in Atman would be pointless. It is a mesmerizing mesh of contemporary dance beats and classic Indian chant and mantra. I am in no way qualified to speak on the subject of Indian music or spirituality, but I can say this. I relished every minute of this CD. Since I first heard it, I've probably listened to it well over twenty five times.

The only way to describe the experience is metaphor. It's like the feeling you get five minutes into an amazing movie. You know you are in for something special, something you've never seen before. The mix of spirituality and modernism is perfect. It leaves you feeling haunted. Perhaps the lyrics are given added meaning by the fact that they are mostly in Hindi, and indecipherable to this listener. But whatever it was, this cd was a magical listen, and I can't stop playing it over and over.

Thank you, Atman! This CD is filled with mesmerizing, enthralling tracks that lift you into a primeval world of vedic creation--all driven to an irrestible contemporary club beat. World Music at its absolute best. No cheese, no new-agey fluff, just spirit and substance that'll keep you trance dancing for hours. I defy you not to become madly interested in classical Indian music after hearing this disc!

This was a good CD, but not one of the great ones that has me listening to it nonstop for weeks. I was hoping for something more along the lines of Waterbone's "Tibet," and was somewhat let down. I did enjoy this CD, though, it's lovely, but it seems a little... lackluster.

I first heard thuis CD being played in a yoga class, and when I got home i just had to have it. It's pretty amazing. You will have to listen to it over & over to take it all in, and you won't get tired of it. I'm certainly not going to stop playing it anytime soon. Heartily reccomended.
