Album Description

On his first release in six years, Miten delivers a heartfelt musical testament to the redeeming power of self-acceptance. Graced by Deva Premal's vocal harmonies, Miten's songs take flight, seamlessly blending male/female energy to reveal the healing balance that comes through true connection with the self. Miten created Songs for the Inner Lover as a soundtrack for the love and life experiences we all share. Insightful lyrics and refreshingly simple, melodic arrangements examine the many faces of love: from its manifestation on the physical plane and the master-disciple relationship to longing for meaningful companionship and the inner dialogues we conduct with ourselves.

Through their long and storied musical and life partnership together, Miten and bestselling mantra singer Deva Premal have created a true heart connection with each other and thousands of adoring fans worldwide. On Songs for the Inner Lover, Miten draws from that nourishing experience to offer a truthful and universal sentiment sure to provide healing comfort to all who are touched by love--or long to be.

Album Description

2003 release for the newage/world artists features 9 tracks. White Swan.

2 out of 5 stars Another opinion.......2006-06-14

I absolutely love Deva Premal's voice and CDs. This was a huge disappointment for me. I don't like almost everything on this CD. There's nothing remarkable about Miten's voice, even though it's certainly nice to listen to. His lyrics are banal. Sweet and heartfelt, but hackneyed.
There's nothing really bad about the music, but most of it is Miten by himself (the ones with Deva are far better, to my ear), and I honestly can't find anything to recommend it.
I only gave it two stars for the few songs that are predominantly Deva's voice.
As much as I am dissing this CD I wouldn't hesitate to recommend "Love is Space." So, if you're expecting something along those lines, don't get this as it's totally different.

5 out of 5 stars The most beautiful CD to celebrate committed partnerships!.......2006-05-20

My girlfriend introduced this cd to me, and I have to say, I'm almost as much in love with this music as I am with her :) !!! It's a 'must have' for any couples who are truly committed to growing healthy partnerships of love. It celebrates the beauty that is at the heart of each one of us and gives such wonderful reverential acknowledgment to the divinity in all.
We've already decided that this will be the music we will choose for our wedding as we shared our first dance to the magnificent sentiments expressed in song by Miten and Deva Premal.
You won't be disappointed!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Mits and Premsi are the bomb!.......2005-04-06

Click and get it! Get them all... Now! Bliss awaits....

5 out of 5 stars Enraptured!.......2004-11-12

This is the greatest album. From the first to the last song, I float in a sea of love. I play it constantly and absolutely love it!

5 out of 5 stars Wear your Mitens!.......2003-11-11

This is a CD made with love. Seriously, you can smell love. What does love smell like? I don't know. So stop asking. I honestly don't see how they can do it. Its magic. When I listen to this CD I feel like I am being held. I am not a lonely person. Believe me when I tell you, I am not. OK. Maybe sometimes.

I have heard many artists who try to write simple, straight from the heart pop songs in the vein of Paul Westerberg and Tom Petty, but few can pull it off like WAZ. These songs have hooks that will be stuck in your head for days. It's catchy rock n roll with no BS! Buying this CD will only make your life better.

5 out of 5 stars Cop It!.......2005-02-08

HOnestly, this is one of the best hip hop albums released. Every single track on this album is dope. Production from TechTwelve, DL, and others will simply blow you away. YOu can sit down and listen to this album the whole way through. It's that good. Both this and Sample and a Drum Machine are amazing. DL is one of the best underground rappers in the game right now. He does it because he IS hip hop. He's not in for the money. He's in it because he is repping the hip hop culture. Everyone must grab this album, and support the real hip hop.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2004-12-16

DL Incognito is one of the best rappers alive. If you liked "A sample and a Drum machine", then you will love "Life's A Collection of Experiances", you definately will not regret it.

5 out of 5 stars A fascinating look at a tortured genius.......2002-08-21

Naxos continues to do a wonderful job with its "Life and Works" series. Quite some time ago, we had a Life/Works of Mozart, one of Chopin and then two more, Liszt and Beethoven. he latter are even better packaged than are the earlier sets, with a thick booklet that offers us essays on the historical background, the position of the composer in his time, a look at the major works, a listening plan, recommended readings, personalities, a calendar of the artist's life, a glossary, and a discography. This booklet is worth the price of the set alone.

Now we have two more entries in this amazing series, again written and narrated by Jeremy Siepmann: "Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky" (8.558036-39) with a playing time of 4 hrs. 5 min. and "Johann Sebastian Bach" (8.558051-54) with a playing time of 4 hrs. 34 minutes. (Please see my comments on the Bach set on its webpage.)

Was there ever a sadder composer than Tchaikovsky? Siepmann practically introduces us to the child in his cradle and covers his 53 or so years of torment over his music, his sexuality, his impossibly hopeless marriage his strange relationship with Mme von Meck, and above all his music.


To make the recording more vivid, the producers have assigned professional actors the roles of the composer himself (Malcolm Sinclair), the women in his life (Karen Archer and Teresa Gallagher) and the men (Stephen Thorne and David Timson). There are many music examples (drawn, of course, from Naxos recordings), some of them considerably longer than necessary. For example, the "Sugar Plum Fairy" is heard at length to represent all of the "Nutcracker" score when several shorter samplings would have served the purpose better. But this has been true for the entire series, and perhaps the producers will rethink this aspect.

    5 out of 5 stars She's NOT just another pretty face!.......2005-08-30

    Okay, she's gorgeous...but what I love most about this CD is how much passion she sings with...every song! She has obviously been through some trials in her, life and it all comes out in the music! Sabrina can sing, and it comes from the gut! Good stuff! I was totally impressed with her range and the fact that she wrote most of the songs on the CD. She's kind of like a female Lenny Kravitz to me. I love all the cuts on the CD but my favorites are "If You Could" "Come As You Are" and "You're Hurting Me" (this tune is deep). It is surely one you want on the "A" list!

    5 out of 5 stars Soulful earthy music.......2005-08-28

    I love this CD! I have always been a fan of Sabrina's during her modeling years. So I was very curious to hear how her music would sound. There are several hit songs on this CD. I listen to it every day on my drive to work. She has a very powerful voice like Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston.

      Album Description

      These are songs that grab you with their narrative, enthrall you with the rhythm of the words and melodies, and hold you with their images and heart. Darryl Purpose's guitar playing is dazzling and intricate, yet organic to the songs, creating moods and accenting the lyrics.

      As complete as Purpose's talent is, Daryl S finds a musical space with her fiddle that seems to rise from the overtones of the guitar and soar with the emotions of the lyrics. As if that wasn't all, that IS ALL! This is basically one take magic, beautifully recorded and mixed. ~Mike Devlin Music Matters Review

        Album Description

        2004 NAPPA Honors Award!

        The blues are about to be discovered by a whole new generation!

        "Even Kids Get The Blues" is an outstanding collection of 16 original blues songs designed to introduce children to this dynamic music genre, and to demonstrate that expressing their own real-life feelings and experiences through the blues is nothing short of empowering.

        Twelve talented young vocalists tackle the challenges of growing up with sensitivity, a sense of humor, and a lot of irresistible music. The recording's authentic sound and wide range of blues styles were masterfully created by The Unknown Blues Band, whose musicians have played with legends such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Etta James, Junior Wells, Howlin' Wolf, and Paul Butterfield. B.B. King sideman Big Joe Burrell adds his distinctive voice to two numbers, and Memphis-born jazz and blues vocalist Sandra Wright is featured on the poignant bonus track, "Baby Blues."

        The recording opens with a lighthearted tribute to sibling rivalry, set to the tune of the John Hiatt classic "Riding With The King." Whether commiserating with down-on-his-luck "Lonely Latchkey Lou," cheerfully swaying to "Backhoe Girl," or bravely facing the absence of a parent like on "Chop an Onion (Cry Your Blues Away)," children ages 7-12 now have a unique opportunity to experience the allure of the blues firsthand.

        In the accompanying lyric booklet, guitarist and songwriter Paul Asbell provides informative and entertaining comments on the blues heritage that inspired each song. Original artwork by renowned children's book author and illustrator Thacher Hurd (Mama Don't Allow, Zoom City, Art Dog) graces the cover and the booklet.

        5 out of 5 stars Great for parents and educators.......2007-02-05

        I'm a music teacher and I bought this to help me introduce my fifth grade students to the blues and jazz music in general. Once I played them "Hug Me, Mommy Hug Me" the blues seemed to be much more accessible to them (it's a pretty funny song). I am quite grateful that someone took the time to make a recording like this! I also loved the quality of singing in this CD - it is difficult to find good children's singing these days without it being too "poppish" or trying too hard to imitate the American Idols. The kids can totally relate to the lyrics while learning that singing beautifully with style isn't impossible for them. I recommend this 100%!
