5.0 out of 5 stars Sensual and Sacred, September 7, 2006

Shiva Rea has created a rhythmic escape with lush electronic textures and cleansing moods. I was surprised at the healing effects of this CD alone. Like Yoga, it seems to heal and cleanse you, refreshing your mind and opening the heart.

JALA is an energetic collection of twelve richly layered moments in time. You can escape into each track offering everything from soothing sitar to high-energy percussion.

Shiva Rea weaves the sensual and the sacred into an infusion of soul stirring sounds. The oceanic soundscapes are layered with vocals, ever changing rhythms, drums, sitar and vocals.

Shiva Rea seems to have an uncanny ability to find talent in unexpected places ~ Daphne Tse and Matt Pszonak for example, I hope we will hear more from them soon!

All the tracks on this CD speak of the beautiful and ever changing quality of the water element~the ebb and flow of the tides, water dancing on the rocks in a streambed, the low roar of a waterwall ~ now don't misunderstand, the only "water sounds" on this album are on the first track and they are brief ~ what I speak of here is a brilliant and artistic use of musical instruments such as drums and the sitar and even human voices to create the quality and the "spirit" if you will ~ of the water element, which is also represented in many of the poses in Vinyasa yoga.

In addition, if you place this Enhanced CD in your computer and download Quicktime Player there is an additional video clip of Shiva Rea's next workout DVD: Fluid Power; I think I speak for us all when I say that we can hardly wait for this one!

Thank you again, Shiva for all you do to make our lives rich and beautiful.
