Hauntingly Beautiful.......2007-05-07

The first time I heard this artist was on an instructional DVD for hot stone healing. I couldn't believe how hauntingly beautiful her voice and the music was. I wanted more and had to find out who she was. I did and immediately purchased the CD. The same song repeats throughout the entire CD, with minor variations and for some that may not be what you are looking for. It is very nice for a healing practice or meditation or if you are looking for beautiful vocals that follow you through your day.

Beautiful.......2007-02-28

I first heard this CD in my prenatal yoga class -- it was perfect for our meditative portion of the class. I loved it so much I used it during the birth of our son and it became his favorite cd for getting to his restful place before bedtime. At 2, he now asks for his "yoga music" almost nightly which gives me a chance to enjoy it and take me to a peaceful place with him as I rock him to sleep.

Awesome recording.......2007-01-21

I like Jennifer Berezan's recordings. "Returning" is something I stumbled on when purusing used CDs at a store. I often listen to it when I'm going to sleep at night. I have also played it during gatherings of people for contemplative and shared prayer. It helps me center myself and connect to the energy of life and love.

Beautiful, Transformative Chant .......2007-01-09

This beautiful CD was recorded partially in Malta, in a man-made underground chamber designed exclusively for its perfect acoustics. The result is a warm, ethereal drone that reverberates throughout the hour-long chant, perfectly complemented by the goddess chants recorded over it.

Each chant comes from a different religion and culture. There is a song to Yemaya, the Yoruba goddess of the sea and rebirth; a Navajo chant to Mother Earth (my personal favorite); A Buddhist mantra to the Bodhisattva of Compassion; and a beautiful line of Alaap singing, a form of Hindi song-prayer. Each voice in this recording is pure and emotionally on-target, and nothing about any of their roles in this piece seems tacked-on or forced.

The combination of all of these elements is soothing and nurturing, just the way a piece centering on "returning to the mother of us all" should be. I recommend it to anyone with a meditation practice, healers, and even just anyone who needs help relaxing at night.

Transformative inner journey.......2007-01-06

Returning is a magical experience. As the chants echo, you are transported on a transformative inner journey. I use this CD for healing work, ritual and ceremony, and women's circles. It is hypnotic and profoundly beautiful. It reminds us all that what we long for is a return to the Earth Mother. This music cradles you in Her embrace.

Very Peaceful and Relaxing.......2007-06-28

This music is very easy listening and very peaceful. It would be good music to meditate too, as well as just playing it around the house.

Life-giving music.......2007-01-21

After I stumbled on "Returning" by Jennifer Berezan, a friend turned me on to "Praises for the World." This is truly a passionate recording of various voices and instruments. I feel connected to the energy of life and love when I listen to this. Have purchased it for other friends and they enjoy it very much. Keep on recording, Jennifer!

Great for studying, meditating, or just relaxing!.......2005-11-14

The back cover of the CD says, "File under world music, new age, women's, healing, meditation, vocal, ambient." Any of those will do just fine, but in my collection, it goes under "when you have to relax!" It is a wonderfully relaxing hour or so of music, sure to carry you off to any tranquil corner of your mind that you like once you put it on and close your eyes. Replete with guest vocalists and nature sounds over a mellow guitar arpeggio, the songscape consists primarily of gentle repetitions of the title line. Only the first four minutes or so are outside of that mold, featuring a three-verse song of healing and love for the Earth, which then segues neatly into the main event. Later in the piece, Alice Walker recites her poem "We Have A Beautiful Mother" over the music. This might be a bit much for some listeners, but if not, you'll love the whole CD. Pleasant dreams!

absolutely incredible.......2003-10-23

profoundly beautiful, dangerously addictive, marvelously uplifting, my favorite of Berezan's albums, and I have loved all of her work. The harmonies are celestial and hypnotic.

Incredible.......2003-08-31

I've given this CD along with "Returning" to friends and they love them too. Its a great CD - I find myself singing along, getting lost in the music and harmony. The CD is one long song that evolves and changes yet has "praises for the world" running through it as the undercurrent. Absolutely fanstastic.

Life-Changing.......2004-04-08

This CD changed my life. It is incredible, I can't put words to it's beauty. It's blending of disparate elements works... I've been making and listening to collage music for a very long time, and Ms. Berezan has created here something that will last the length of time. The concept is gorgeous... I'm not going to ruin it for you and tell you what happens. Like a good movie, this one is best experienced for oneself.

Also, check out "ReTurning", another altogether unique piece of "sound art on CD" that is also incredible. That one has also changed my life. When I say "life-changing", I mean that whenever I need to go to the particular space in my body/mind that this music resonates with, all I have to do is put on the CD and I feel a shift. My perspective shifts, my life shifts. Jennifer Berezan is an artist with unparalleled integrity, as far as I can see.

Brilliant But!!.......2004-08-22

I am amazed that they do not have the REFUGE cd listed on this site probably her best work by far.Recorded in Pleasanton.CA. and mastered in SF.CA. in 1997.
I have it and people if your a fan and have not heard this one your not geeting JB anywhere near her best until you have it.

Still fresh - and relevant.......2002-03-16

"Women's music" is probably an overused term these days, but Jennifer Berezan still fits that bill as well as anyone does. While less conciously feminist than some of her other albums, this rootsy collection is infused with the same distinct personal and political sensibility that marks all of her work. With its low-key folk-rock melodies offsetting the intense lyrics, this is probably Berezan's most accessible album, and definitely her best in my opinion.

The songs vary widely in their tone and subject matter, but they all reflect Berezan's talent for economical and interesting lyrics. While the beautifully wistful title track and the more upbeat "Katie's River" reflect a sense of spirituality and a gentle concern for others, more topical numbers like "State of the Union," "When You're Young" and especially "One and One Makes Three," prove that Berezan is also capable of biting social commentary. (The latter, which touches on racism, corporate greed, AIDS, homophobia, talk radio and the "angry white male" phenomenon, is a remarkable summation of the ugly side of 1990s politics. I wish it were out of date, but it isn't!) Tucked among these, the short, melancholy "You're Gone" proves that Berezan is just as articulate in sadness as in anger.

But perhaps the collection's finest moment is the closing song, "Angel Boots," a tribute to finding strength and comfort in oneself and a nice reminder that being on your own needn't mean being alone. All of which is a good summation of Berezan's work in general. Nearly a decade after its release, this is still probably the best distillation of that work.

Jennifer brings meaning to music!.......1999-06-15

This 2nd release of Jennifer's is a great collection of her music. She embodies a rare wisdom in both her words and music that is not commonly found in today's modern culture. The melodies are haunting and will touch your heart and soul. My favorite track is "Angel Boots". Her 3rd release from 1997 entitled "Refuge" is just as powerful and moving. She will soon be releasing her 4th album recorded in the 6000 year old Hypogeum in Malta, estimated release date is early fall 1999. Don't miss out on any of her recordings!
