Wonderful

"Rarely a piece of music is heard that is beautiful and at the same time transformative. If it is possible for a CD to inspire pray and devotion, this is it. Listen to it and be prepared to enter another realm. I loved it."
Homage to "Homage..."

"I feel this is a very special CD because listening to it is a wonderful experience. The music and vocals flow together like a perfectly choreographed dance. Whenever I play it I find that it gently brings me into a very centered place and changes the atmosphere of the room. It seems to have a simultaneously relaxing and energizing effect. No matter how many times I play it, I still 'hear' it for the first time. I am looking forward to experiencing future CD's from this artist."
Transcendental

"Do not operate heavy machinery while listening to this c.d....this is one of the most spiritually enlighted cd's I have ever listened to. It is the most kinesthetic listening experience I have ever had. The vibration of my energy body increased exponentially upon hearing the first note."
Mystcal & Musical

"Seman has once again captured my interest and turned music into a mystical experience. In "Homage To Ganesha" he has set forth beauty and peace into the music and allowed that peace to be transferred to the listener. This allows for a relaxing journey in meditation as one listens to this unique musical collaboration."
Magic

"Listening to this CD is a magical spiritual experience. Within minutes I become centered and balanced enough to enter into a deep meditative state. I become lighter and more connected to all that is. Journeying is almost automatic. Please keep creating more, George and Roop."
