"This is a unique album, using a resurrected instrument of rotating crystal bowls that produces an ethereal assortment of harmonics. The musician, Yatri, has really devoted herself to this project, creating a beautiful compilation of sonic improvisation. This album is not too long, so hopefully there will be more recordings by Yatri using this unusual instrument. Some listeners, not used to such a depth of harmonic overtones, might find this type of music unsettling, although I really enjoyed it. Historically, this instrument was known for being soothing and even trance inducing, like regular quartz crystal singing bowls that are used by sound healers."

"Light a candle, turn off the lights, stare into the flame, and let Yatri take you to places you have never been before. You will love this CD."

"This is a great piece of work. Like Yatri, I also wonder about the outcome of this piece of work if Oscar Bookbinder would have avoided the use of electricity..... ? As it is, I listened to it for the first time late at night within the magical darkness of my living room. Before the CD finished, I found my cells vibrating in all parts of my wonderful human body :) And So It Is"
