| Love Is Space: A Rare Gift |
German-born Deva Premal shares her fabulous voice with sacred Sanskrit mantras. A stellar cast of musicians including the amazing Jai Uttal, Miten and Kit Walker, contribute acoustic grand piano, keyboards, guitar, flute and percussion. Premal chose the title Love Is Space - also her personal mantra - to remind us that love has no barriers or boundaries.
While most of the seven tracks are Hindu mantras, she included Om Mani Padme Hum, a Tibetan mantra, that progresses with passionate joy. Idé Weré Weré comes from the Yoruba people of Nigeria and is dedicated to Ochun, the goddess of love. Liner notes provide all lyrics in both the original language and English, which really helps listeners enjoy the album. One of the finest chant albums of 2000, Love Is Space is a rare gift indeed.

| Embrace: Spiritually Provacative |
The high chanteuse of chant, Deva Premal, is a pillar of originality in the grand garden of Indian music. You might say she's to Sanskrit Mantras what Enya is to Celtic music. Her smooth soulful voice, which resides in the lower octaves, haunts atmospheric, lightly rhythmic, ethereal soundscapes skillfully crafted by her partner Miten.
Together they take listeners on a journey into the depths of the soul that doesn't forget to stop at the heart. The music's easy on the ears, spiritually provocative and contains enough mass appeal to make even the yoga-phobic stir. Throw in a duet with Jai Uttal (Om Ram Ramaya) and you have an album that will get anyone's chakras in an uproar.
