Search - Patrick Bernard :: Supreme Moment "The Very Best of"

Supreme Moment: "The Very Best of Patrick Bernard" Like falling in love all over again, hearing the new collection from Patrick Bernard is a divine listening experience. Patrick personally selected the songs and the sequence for this appropriately titled CD, "Supreme Moment" and it runs its course over his entire career. The theme is celebrating 15 years of devotional ecstasy! The opening notes are from the first track of the first release, "Atlantis Angelis," and it instantly and successfully takes you back to those moments of discovery, opening and illumination when his divine music was first experienced. Next is the opening track from his 2nd release, often viewed as his most beloved, "Solaris Universalis". The choral effects and lush music balance between quiet simplicity and grand exaltation, with the peaks and valleys akin to one's own breathing patterns when deeply in touch with nature, birth, ecstatic moments or the tenderest of times. We used to refer to Patrick as the "male Enya," but at this point in his career, that seems understated. Rhythmic tracks, such as those from "Shamanyka," his third release, are also included, as well as selections from his several recent releases, such as the magnificent "Love Divine," "Atlantis Angelis Two," "Sublime Relaxation" and others. In addition, to enhance the enjoyment and understanding of the source of his endearing mantras, the root words are shown and matched to their source, whether secular, sacred, etc. Included are mantras from Sanskrit, Vaisnavism, Latin, Hebrew, and Gita. To top it all off, the format of the album is quite special since it is a CD-Altar, when you open it, it stands up by itself and you have images of Radha and Krishna on each side, painted by B.G. Sharma (India's most renowned painter), and then in the middle you have an image of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the incarnation of Divine Love. This is the first time this kind of format has been created. It is a perfect match, whether you are already a devoted fan or new to Patrick's special brand of earth magic. The combination of music, voice, lyrics, emotions and artistry are rarely equaled in this market, past or present. This celebration will assist in creating a better future, and enhancing your life in the meantime. Lloyd Barde
