“Traditional chants, mantras, and Kirtan from the East have imbued the West with a new way of elevating the spirit, by listening as well as by participating. On Mandala, Terry Oldfield & Soraya enhance these traditions with a powerful blend of instrumentation, electronics, deep vocal chants, and a production quality that together is a yoga unto itself.” — Alan Hutner, Host/Producer, Transitions Radio Magazine, 98.1 FM KBAC

This exquisitely crafted debut collaboration of acclaimed singer/ songwriter Lisbeth Scott and eclectic percussionist greg Ellis weaves a layered soundscape of richly atmospheric songs ranging from poignantly moving to radiantly serene. The multi-talented greg Ellis—who has worked with Beck, Billy Idol, and the grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart—is best known for cofounding the world music ensemble Vas with singer Azam Ali. Lisbeth Scott has worked with artists as diverse as InXS, John Prine, Mark Isham, and composer John williams, who wrote a solo expressly for her in the Munich soundtrack. The album exudes an epic, cinematic quality—not surprising, as both artists are ubiquitous contributors in major film music. Ellis’ work has shaped the sound of the Matrix series, Fight Club, and 300, among others. Scott’s credits include Shrek; The Passion of the Christ; Spielberg’s Munich; The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe; and the upcoming Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

Following the widely acclaimed Reiki Heart, this album taps into the same energy to take peace and healing one step further and help the listener achieve a higher mental, emotional, and spiritual state of mind. Features one extended track of gentle music combined with nature sounds.

“The music’s constant, even flow simultaneously relaxes mind and body and encourages the spirit to soar … Those who choose to let the bell toll as it may will discover themselves losing track of time, lifted out of mundane reality on a sonic carpet of tenderness and bliss.” — Spirit of Change
