Another Step Higher,
March 6, 2007 Bryan S. Coffman (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anand - Bliss (Audio CD)
I have a number of albums by Snatam Kaur and have been fortunate enough to see her at the Ashram here in Altamonte Springs, Florida during Winter Solstice. Each album gets better. This one is produced by Thomas Barquee. While you're at it, you should check out his album "The Sound of Om" because it's fantastic as well. Between Snatam's expanded experience as a musician and spiritual seeker, and Barquee's experience as a producer and musician, a fantastic combination emerges. Very beautiful, relaxing, contemplative, yet brimming with energy. This is not just an album to chill out to, but a great album to actively listen to or practice yoga to.
For those who are new to Snatam, many of the lyrics come from Kundalini Yoga. If you can only get one of her albums, this would be it. The others I would recommend include "Celebrate Peace" and "Grace."

Breathtaking!,
June 29, 2008 Akali (Westfield, Massachusetts USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anand (Audio CD)
Buy Anand (Anand means 'Bliss' in Sanskrit) and listen for yourself. If you aren't moved to tears and cannot appreciate the beauty of what you are experiencing, then you better check your pulse! If you do have a pulse, I'm sure you will not fail to sense Snatam Kaur's connection with the sacred. This is heartfelt, spiritual music in the purest sense of the word. It will enrich your life. I also highly recommend her 2002 album Prem (Prem is from the Sanskrit 'Preman', meaning 'Divine Love'), which is also a gem to behold.
Societal commentary: Snatam is the antidote to American Idol that you've been waiting for... often, artists of true substance are eclipsed by what is more popular, marketable, or more pleasing to the ear on a superficial level. To me, Snatam has turned this equation upside down: She's all about substance, and to my ear, she can sing circles around any 'American Idol' star...

Fan from Down Under says "It's a ripper"!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anand (Audio CD)
I have no idea what the bloke below is talking about. Once again, the Sikh Princess is back in the house with an absolutely fantastic album!
Good for listening, meditation and general relaxation! Anyone, regardless of whether you believe in god or not, can listen to this CD and feel a sense of peace and a deeper connection to their soul.
If you've heard her previous stuff, it is different from that (as always) which is a good thing. Thanks Snatam!
