There are many forms of decorating the Divine; music is one form of decoration with perhaps the greatest potential for helping pierce through the veil and revealing the joy and fulfillment of the Highest within. Drawing on the mystical traditions of Meher Baba and the Sufi path, Daniel Stone and his Band-o-Naad have crafted a journey through song about the joys and challenges of following the mystical path toward fully awakened consciousness. The song styles range from pop, jazz, folk, bluegrass, and world music. Throughout all there is a constant tuning into the inward spiritual journey, an attunement to which anyone from any spiritual or religious orientation can resonate. While the songs have been praised for their rich melodies and textures. the vocals have been described as "beautiful" and "sublime"; and the Band-o-Naad's instrumentations complement the profound meanings that permeate this CD.. The experience of listening to this recording can bring one from dancing to meditating, to deep reflection on the meaning of the inner life. Sure to inspire all those who partake of this wine!
