Not since the late Terence McKenna's 'Alien Dreamtime' album in the early '90s has enlightened spirituality flowed so well with contemporary chill-out. This expressive and inspirational music environment enhances the power of Ram Dass' messages. DJ Kriece's deftly selected grooves bring new life and focus to universal and timeless spoken truths.
Ram Dass says...
..."This recording represents a full circle for me. In the '60s when Tim Leary and I began exploring inner space with psychedelics, the music was always a groove that we could follow, a route to take us higher. Music was at the forefront of the expansion of consciousness and the counter culture. There was a group consciousness that evolved in some of the performances of the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix and others, that was transcendent and brought a sense of unity and a feeling of deep love and joy. Later, when I made it to India, I was introduced to other music and sounds that vibrate with the cosmos, using it to get high. The music itself is the high and you just become it, like a surfer becoming one with the wave."
"This collaboration, produced by Down-under mixmaster Kriece, makes this blend of music and spirituality available to a new generation. Kriece has brought together the influences of world music, chanting, electronics and spoken word. I am honored he has used words I spoke, though it is only us talking to ourselves. This mixdown of mantra and electronica merges into One Love."
"As my guru said to me: 'Enjoy it All!'"
