New Earth Records has some really wonderful musicians, and this CD offers the listener some of the highlights of their recent releases. Often samplers are a fantastic value for the music and this one is no exception. The first cut, by Chinmaya Dunster, is from a lovely theme CD offering Feng Shui music. The second, by the ever prolific Deuter, comes from his recent release, Sun Spirit, a lively upbeat release. Dreamcather, by Kamal, is from "Shamanic Healing" a wonderful world crossover work. Cut numer 4, again from Deuter, is from Reiki-Hands of Light. Designed to be used in a Reiki healing session, this music is mellow and introspective. Al Gromer Khan, the master of Sufi-Indian-infused-ambient-world music, provides the long track on number 5, from Kamasutra Experience. Another Reiki piece is found in cut 6, contributed by Anuvida and Nik Tyndall. Deuter teams with Annette Cantor to provide the vocal piece on cut 7, from the wonderful CD, Garden of the Gods. The final cut comes from Nadama, and provides a fitting ending to this compilation (from his CD entitled Heart to Heart).

It would be safe to say that, on the quiet music side of New Earth Records, this compilation is like a "Best of" for the year 2000. You really can't go wrong here. Best thing is, if you like the music, you can locate the entire CD by each artist, and enjoy even more sounds!

This collections has got to be one of the most incredible CD's I've ever owned. I've played it every day for the last year(s), and it never fails to lift me into a hopeful, happy space. I don't resonate with the Silent Voice (Al Gromer Khan)or the Letting Go (Nadama) tracks, but they are easy to skip. The others, especially the Temple of Silence (Deuter/Annette Cantor) and Waves of Light (Deuter) are truly inspired and real stand-outs in the world of this kind of music. Bravo!
