CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com's Best of 2001 Perhaps not as pretty as previous studio releases, Krishna Das's Breath of the Heart nevertheless captures the ecstasy, devotion, and life-affirming qualities of chant. Ably abetted by rap and rock producer Rick Rubin, Das joins with a choir dubbed the Kosmic Kirtan Posse, featuring the East and West Coast Posses, a group of some 50 members including Mike D of the Beastie Boys, while instruments as diverse as harmonium, Hammond B3 organ, violin, guitar, cymbals, and drums play backdrop. Das and friends, through their gorgeously imperfect music, manage at once to exalt the divine and spotlight the inevitable suffering of the human condition. The core of Breath of the Heart--the lengthy "Kainchi Hare Krishna" and "Ma Durga"--successfully marry the sacred and profane, the temporal and the fixed. --Paige La Grone Similar CDs

CD ReviewsCaught me by surprise, too. Rick Fletcher | Moscow, ID USA | 08/22/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Count me among the new members of the posse. The excerpts you can listen to here don't do this CD or the music justice. These are chants and naturally, they start slow and roll on to a full boil like a pot of water on the fire. By midway, things are usually rockin'. The pieces you hear on Amazon are the warming and don't represent. This is unusual music for me to have in my collection but a friend made a workout tape and included the first track from this CD. It's as hypnotic as they come and I was hooked from first listen. It's not just me though. I play music for my class of 250 students before each lecture... I mean, we have a great sound system in the lecture hall, why not use it, right? I put Krishna Das on one day and received over 20 requests about the musician. On a very good day I might get two but this track perked the students right up. If you've ever heard Enigma and thought it sounded at least somewhat interesting, next time you want to try something new, gives this CD a gamble. And then try to get the chants out of your head." "It's so beautiful" Heidi Yeln | Saipan | 03/13/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a direct quote from my 7 year old. I added CD this as well as "Pilgram Heart" to my wish list and was suprised when they both arrived in a box for my children. I have this in the cd alarm to awaken gradually to a peaceful, heartfelt morning. It's playing when I wake my daughter. At bedtime, I turned the cd on and my daughter looked peacefully up at me and proceded to tell me about her dream where a boy found a key, opened a door and then he and his family began to sing this song (Babu Hanuman) It was so beautiful. I asked her what was so beautiful and she replied his singing, It's so beautiful. It is. " Great Voice Ricky Dalton | Oxford, CA | 03/07/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "His great voice and message are great for doing yoga or med. Very soothing. The liner notes included are great if you want to chant with him or understand what he is saying. I work for Gold's Gym as a yoga instructor and it goes over great there"
