Synopsis

Amazon.com
Like his jazz counterpart Jai Uttal, Krishna Das is a U.S. native whose life was changed forever by the discovery of the Hindu religion. Yet unlike Uttal, who has explored the realms of world and jazz music and collaboration, Das has focused his energies toward the art of Indian classical chant exclusively. The result is a long career of spreading the love and spirituality of the Hindustani tradition while gleaning a large following that's included the likes of Sting and Madonna. But this isn't the reason to respect Das, rather his investment in using chant to heal, find the grace of God, and purify the soul. Though Das's voice falls somewhat flat on this two-CD album, he's accompanied by a wonderful gaggle of percussionists, whose layered cadences create a tapestry as rich in color and detail as an Indian ragamala itself. The accompanying choir of some 20 chanters is the other highlight, offering a cold salve to Das's harsh, monotonous tone. But after all, the point of chant is to invoke God, not please the ear, and if this is your goal, Live on Earth well satisfies. --Karen K. Hugg

CD Reviews

The best of Krishna
Ranji Abeyatunge | Latham, NY USA | 02/09/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"All of Krishna Das' music should be standard equipment on any new vehicle in this day and age, with over population and crazy drivers, air bags being just underneath that. For if these mantras were playing in your stereo there may be no need for the later.
In all seriousness, Krishna Das will bring your spirit to a new level and erase your stress. This coming from someone who hadn't spent much time in the spiritual realm...until now! Get any of his CD's and he may unlock a part of you, you never knew existed."
Ramine of all times

"This CD is definitely a stress buster. One feels in control after listening to his CD's and feel they can fight the world. It induces self-satisfaction, contentment and happiness."
