5 out of 5 stars Smooth.......2001-03-31

This girl is so smooth she should be called silk, this album is so cool, it should have been titled "ice", and believe me, this woman looks so good she should be called "felony" cuz she looks so good. For her to wear makeup is unfair to other women on this planet. This is a great album, for anybody not to buy this album it is a crime.

5 out of 5 stars High Energy!!!!!.......2001-02-17

I found this album at one of the yoga expos and found it to be one of the best music artists. I strongly recommend this to anyone who is interested or teaches yoga. It is filled with non-stop flowing energy...this was perfect for my class!!!

5 out of 5 stars Pushpaka.com Recommended..........2001-01-09

Every once in a while you find a CD that you just dig. Listening to it gives you a groovy, new age fix, but has a content that resounds with the palpable feeling of other worlds. I remember feeling the first Enigma album doing that for me.

Lotus is a great Ambient, "world-groove" album, with lots to offer the listener in terms of vibe and inspiration. Pulling heavily from Eastern influences (see other reviews for details), but still having a slightly Western direction, the album takes you into a warm, spiritual place. The average tempo, I would estimate, is about 90 to 100 bpms (or less), but there are a few tunes in which the tempo picks up (a little), as in 'You are My Heaven,' and 'Within or Without You,' (this song has an excellent set of dance and club remixes - IF you can find them!).

Alex Edenborough's voice carries you into the music, and the rhythms are enough to make you either want to dance sensuously, or meditate.

I would say this album comes together like Enigma, Deep Forest, and Sade, with the spice and flavor of the Little Buddha Soundtrack. A very warm and worthwhile addition to your CD collection.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful!.......2000-11-07

A friend recommended this cd to me, and I must say I wasn't sure whether I'd like it, but its brilliant, I LOVE it! So very beautifully done, both the singing and the music. It makes you feel relaxed, but it's not New Agey in a floaty way at all. The other reviews speak for themselves too, what a great find! Don't listen to the (too short) samples at the top of the page, just get the cd!

4 out of 5 stars If you like Lotus you *must* get Babble too!.......2000-04-12

This album is great! It's sort of a world-pop style of music - exotic yet not too ethnic sounding. It has alot of the same mood as Enigma. They don't actually sound alike but fans of Enigma seem to take to Lotus quite well and vice versa. Let's just say they're different yet compliment each other at the same time - you know ... like two bands that should go on tour together sometime.

Actually, the girls voice reminded me alot of 'Everything but the girl' - it's a very similar type of singing and just wonderful to listen too.

However, there is one other band that sounds ALOT like Lotus and that is Babble. So if you like this cd or are considering purchasing it, don't forget to throw Babble's "Ether" album in your shopping cart as well : )

And while your at it throw Olive's "Extra Virgin" and Enigma's "The Screen Behind the Mirror" in there too!
