CD Reviews
Worth it for the First Three Tracks Alone
Bryan S. Coffman | Orlando, FL United States | 03/06/2007

"Part of this album is a compilation of songs from previous albums, but the first three cuts are original and are great all on their own. So if you don't own any of Snatam's music, this is a nice overview. But even if you do own some of her albums, get this one anyway just for the new tracks! My favorite is the first cut, "We are Peace." Lots of energy and a great one to sing along to. "People of Love" is also an easy one to sing along to--a great one for children, too. "Long Time Sun" takes its lyrics from Yogi Bhajan's "benediction" used at the end of every Kundalini practice. Even if you don't practice yoga, it's nice to just say this little song for yourself and the ones you love every day:
May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you guide your way on"
Amazing

"This is an amazing CD. Snatam Kaur has the voice of an angel. She is crystal clear and the music fills your heart and soul. The little one's in our family are mesmerized by this CD and with the other two we purchased by Snatam. Thank you and keep up the magnificent work."
SHALOM SHALEM
MYSTIC | CLEVELAND, OH USA | 12/30/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is my first Kaur CD. As a student of kabbalh, I am in need for a postive spiritual high that is away from religious suggestiveness. This CD has given me that satisfaction. As soon as I awake each morning I mediate on this CD to insert into my soul's consciousness the fortitude I need for my coming day's journey. At 61 young, I grew up when rock 'n' roll melodies had tenderness to them. Kaur's melody in ONG NAMO gives me that reminiscent of my yesteryear's happiness in spirit, thought and deed. I have gone on to purchase her other spiritual enlighten CD's.
'Shalom Shalem' can be interpreted as "May the Creator's sacred peace within you be completed."
Snatam Kaur has reinforced that Cosmic stabality within me.

What We All Need

"My only disappointment with this CD is that I thought it was a "live" album recorded during Snatam Kaur's Celebrate Peace Tour.
Otherwise, a nice compilation from Snatam Kaur. If you are familiar with her material, you will enjoy this offerring and if this is your first experience, the CD is a good place to begin, with songs from several of her CD's.
I wish we all would jump on the "Peace Bandwagon." It's what the world needs. What a great idea to tour for peace.
You can feel the devotion in Snatam's music, which goes beyond any words.
