5.0 out of 5 stars Inarticulate Speech, October 25, 2007

As a journalist, there are few times when I am rendered speechless. Listening to Miten, accompanied by his life partner Deva Premal offer up heart wisdom in the form of song and story in the newly released CD "Soul in Wonder", had that impact on me. Now that I have regained my ability to express, it comes through me to say that this CD is a constant companion in my car, I play it in a workshop I offer and the participants clamor to know "Who is that?" and recently in my role as an interfaith minister, I played two of the pieces "Fly High" and "Free Spirit (Ashes to Ashes)" during the memorial service for the father of another minister. All who were present were deeply moved by the music. The Van Morrison song "Inarticulate Speech of the Heart" would be a lovely wedding accompaniment as well. The Sanskrit chants "Twameva" and "Lokah Samasta", familiar to me as a practicing yogini, transport me as if on a magic carpet. "Through the Eyes of An Angel" is Miten's unabashedly sentimental tribute to his beloved Deva whose cloudless sky-blue eyes indeed had me mesmerized when we met back stage at a concert this year. "Fly High" and "Awakening" often have me singing at the top of my lungs, left arm 'breezing' out the window as I drive. The soaring sounds of the Bansuri flute played by Nepalese flautist Manose, add a touch of magic that tickles the ear and the heart.

Deva and Miten are indeed Souls in Wonder, welcoming other Souls to sing along. This CD (and, in truth, all of the others they have created) is a must have for your collection if you are inclined to enjoy music that transcends genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miten's best yet, October 23, 2007

Kenny Loggins? I think the Amazon reviewer must have been listening to a different album than the one I'm playing right now. Soul in Wonder features some of Miten's most beautiful and intimate songs - Through the Eyes of An Angel is a wonderful song, full of evocative images of wood smoke, banyan trees, and holy rivers in the moonlight, while Humaniversal? Well, let me put it this way - I'm writing this while on a business trip to India and it is the only song that even begins to make sense of the enormous contrasts outside my hotel window. So don't be put off by the Amazon review - the chants with Deva Premal are great but so are the songs - highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart opening perfection!, October 25, 2007

This CD is an absolute delight! The Amazon review seems strangely off the mark - Miten's deep and soulful compositions (and the reverent, personal, heart opening way they're sung) are some of the most lovely I've ever heard and of course Deva's voice is transcendently beautiful throughout. I especially feel gratitude for the penetrating beauty of the song Humaniversal, which I could listen to on repeat forever. . . I love how this music not only melts my heart and my spirit, but also inspires me with a gentle call to action in the world, to remember the places and people we might otherwise forget. . . Miten and Deva got it just right with Soul in Wonder - don't miss this one!
