CD: Bhakti - Sacred Earth

Sacred Earth's fifth album is a dedication to love ... pure and simple love. Soft, warm, dynamic and very beautiful - a quintessential progression in the Sacred Earth musical journey. The perfect accompaniment to any yoga class or massage session, this album will caress your heart and open your spirit to the boundless realm of love.

Jethro's flute playing, some of the most beautiful we have heard yet, soars across a multicoloured landscape of musical bliss including harmonium, deep warm strings, light harp, bass guitar, acoustic guitar and lilting tampura. At the same time we feel a new softness and contentment in Prem's voice as she sings to us her intimate feelings of devotion to the whole of creation.

Prem's version of the Gyatri Mantra moves straight into the heart, opening like a flower, encouraging us to bloom as big, bold and bright as we can. It is clear that Sacred Earth continue to grow with the exploration of new sounds and styles on this album, whilst maintaining the Sacred Earth flavour we have all grown to love.
