"Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music." —Sergei Rachmaninov

SOUNDINGS GLOBAL RHYTHMS COLLECTION (Soundings of the Planet, 2008) by Dean Evenson is World Fusion at its best. Drawing on sounds from the Middle East, Africa, India and Tibet to Native America and Aboriginal Australia, this musical feast is perfect for yoga, pilates and sacred movement. TULKU DOORS TO PARADISE (New Earth Records, 2007) by Grammy winner and musical alchemist Jim Wilson has brought together an outstanding ensemble of new voices and rhythms from South Africa, Bangladesh, Morocco, Brazil and Europe. OM GUITAR (Sounds True, 2008) by Stevin McNamara is a seamless fabric of Eastern and Western meditative sensibilities to soothe and rejuvenate all who listen. Combining guitar virtuosity with a deep sense of the sacred, Om Guitar creates a blissful environment for meditation or restoration. TANDAVA VOLUME 2 (Sounds True, 2008) by Pathaan is a sanctified fusion of devotional and downtempo sounds that opens the door to inner peace. —M.D.
