Music reviews of A Gift Of Love: Deepak & Friends Present Music Inspired By The Love Poems Of Rumi

Music Review: a great introduction to Rumi for Westerners
Rating: 5 Stars

The Fan from Stockholm says the poems should be put to middle eastern music, but I went and listened to some of the music he recommended, and I can tell you most American's probably won't like it. Not that it is not good, it's just that people here do not have a cultural memory for the music he has recommended, so it may not evoke anything in the heart or mind, if you get my drift.

The music on Gift of Love IS inspiring (there are many natural instruments, but also some synth which I know some people don't like). The background music provides a perfect cadence for the readings. Amazon needs to put up some samples so others can hear. I am especially impressed with Madonna's voice on the track "Bittersweat." She needs to do more of this. Her voice is perfect for reciting Rumi. The same can be said for Demi Moore and Jared Harris.

Also, the reader that says this is a cheap production is crazy. OK, you get a cover that folds out to four sleeves. Inside are a book and two disks, one with 36 tracks of music and one with some commentary by Deepak. All for about $15. How is that cheap!

At any rate, this album was my introduction to Rumi, who I had heard a lot about but never really understood. It helped me get into the poems and understand the metaphors.
