Album DescriptionElevate your spirit with traditional chants, mantras, and kirtans from the East. Terry Oldfield and Soraya come together to weave a musical tapestry of yoga, meditation, and healing. Their mystical sounds lead you on a journey of self-discovery and help to facilitate the transformative process. One of the most celebrated names in new age music, Terry Oldfield has recorded over 20 albums and is well known for his outstanding television and film soundtracks. He has also been nominated for a British Academy Award and two prestigious Emmy Awards. His De Profundis: Out of Depths 2 was 2005 winner of the Narcissus Award for Album of the Year. Soraya Saraswati, a spiritual teacher who blends ancient yogic knowledge and practices with shamanic wisdom, joins Oldfield on this album to share a love of ancient Sanskrit Mantras and a dedication to yoga. "Traditional chants, mantras, and Kirtan from the East have imbued the West with a new way of elevating the spirit, by listening as well as by participating. On Mandala, Terry Oldfield & Soraya enhance these traditions with a powerful blend of instrumentation, electronics, deep vocal chants, and a production quality that together is a yoga unto itself." -- Alan Hutner, Host/Producer, Transitions Radio Magazine, 98.1 FM KBAC
