The continued rise of New Age music in the multi genres across the world is so wonderful to see, I have been a champion of this style for some 30 years on air, and now we have some of the most illustrious acts, artists and musicians, gracing our senses, two of which are Sacred Circles (Holly Fischer and Phil Kanakis) who with their brand new release entitled A Symphony Of Mantras, have gifted the planet one of the finest examples of musical peace and serenity.

A Symphony Of Mantras is a 10 track release that is full of textures and musical colour, listen to compositions like Diva Tapati, the crisp vocals of Fischer float on a bed of harmony across the green plains of tranquillity, the guitar within lifts the piece even higher in its energetic expression, whilst offerings like Effulgence manifest a darker tone, one that is more reflective in its essence, the orchestral gift from the Macedonian Symphony Orchestra adds further layers in this tapestry of tone and timbre.

Here is an album that has a global collective within the weave of the release, over 70 artists from around the world have committed their time and genius to it, offerings like the gentle Tisarana, resonate with the calmness that lies within us all, in some trying to escape, in others it is the base of their awareness, for me this was one of the most beautiful tracks on the album.

After a short form interlude creation, we are back with an all-time classic in the world of healing mantras and deeply devotional music with Om Shanti Om, this is a delicious two vocal version of such a powerful musical prose, both artists give such an imploring performance to allow the sheer intent and magnificence of the creation to encapsulate each and every sense of the listener.

The conclusion to this simply breath taking collection of fine works is the anthem like Prayer For Peace (Orchestral Version), the message of this last creation needs to be accepted as the norm by the entire global collective of humans, as we lay to rest the tired worn out failure of tribalism. This is the prefect composition to end with, and one that will leave the listener with the one thing they need most, hope.

Sacred Circles have produced one extremely listenable album, it is a release that spans a multitude of genres and continents, it is an album that brings together the mood of peace, the desire of serenity and calm and the hope of global happiness, through an honest sense of harmony.  A Symphony Of Mantras by Sacred Circles is a multi-instrumental and premium vocal delight, gifted to the world in the heart felt expression of peace and harmony for all, and as such this has to be a true globe wide hit.
