producing and musical talents of Jai Uttal (vocals, dotar, keyboards, percussion) and Tulku's Jim Wilson (programming). This pleasurable album effortlessly blends prayers and chants from the ancient tradition of Bhakti Yoga with Indian percussion, strings, dumbek, and keyboards. The compositions range from lively, drum-driven pieces to mellower, meditative tracks. Heart benefits from the input of its accomplished guest musicians and the inclusion of gentle harmonium (on "The Krishna Waltz" and other tracks), delicate wah-wah guitar (on "Hunaman Chaleesa"), and unobtrusive programming, which imbues the music with a modern flavour while retaining its organic essence. The album also includes detailed, informative liner notes from the artist. --Bryan Reesman

...I was introduced to the music of KrishnaDas by my wife. And God bless her for that, says I! For KrishnaDas is well, he just IS.
Live on Earth is a great introduction to the music of KrishnaDas. KrishnaDas is an American by birth, and a Hindu. By conviction.
His music is a wonderful exploration and celebration of his faith, that of the Hindu.

Advantages: Just a single... Disadvantages: None for U96 fans
...If you heard the Das Boot of 1992, you should think about buying the
Das Boot 2001. New remake of the greatest techno hit of 1992 was made
by the U96 itself! I think what if you a really loving techno you needs this CD. All tracks made in traditional U96 style-electro techno. But some tracks may be made more technous, so it's only for fans of U96. Watch more MTV programs and you can see their clip on Das Boot 2001, which contains some parts of the Das Boot of 1992
If you don't listen the Das Boot, you don't listen TECHNO !!!...

Advantages: Two maestros for price of one Disadvantages: None
...Bala murali krishna, what can be said of him, every word in the music dictionary will fall short when i try to describe him in his own field. He has decades of practise that singing is breathing for him. Perhaps, quitely , there is a hum when he breaths in and out.
He is a pious man and with a blend of divinity and expertise in music, his renderings are as Divine as it can get. Clarity in expressing difficult words in Sanskrit, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu and Tamil makes his songs heart-throbbing. The vibrations really oscillate the listener into a different world.
Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, a singer with a difference, his rugged voice may seem to be a wrong combination for the compositions he sings,but once he gets going, the melody gets the better of everythign and everyone... his single line rendering in a patriotic song for Doordarshan...
