"Father, Father", like all of Van Sickle's extended chants, creates a deeply devotional space. Its very slow tempo and ethereally beautiful choral harmonies allow me to settle into a tender, peacefully radiant space, and its gentle majesty can bring tears to my eyes. Van Sickle's use of vowel sounds instead of regular lyrics throughout most of the piece creates powerful energy resonances in (and beyond) the body, and when the words finally do come -- "Father, Father, I am" -- they provide a powerful affirmation of oneness with the divine. This is music of deep and gentle power, which can take the receptive listener beyond mere relaxation and into indescribable realms of spiritual grandeur. Highly recommended!

As a deeply spiritual person and a "rabid" fan of new age music, I'm thrilled with this CD. The music and vocals are incredibly soothing and innocuous enough as to provide no disturbance or disruption to the normal daily business activities. I've had the CD playing in my office now for 6 hours straight and have no tension in my body or mind in spite of a very hectic day.

I can imagine that the gods had a hand in the creation of this beautiful piece. It's "heavenly."

Every time I play Father, Father I am able to go deeper and deeper into the Great Silence - All That Is. I have all of Kurt's albums and find this and River of Life to be my very special favorites to meditate with before venturing out into the work-a-day world. It envelops me in a loving cocoon of light that allows me to see and feel the divine in others. I highly recommend this CD for those who want to get in touch with pure love and light.

Absolutely brilliant!! Takes you deeeeeeep inside... me, anyway... :)
This is his best cd.
