You must have it!!!Monday, February 16, 2004
I have bought this cd last december and I'm still playing it every morning...!! It is a great album.
My favorite track from cd1 Awakenings is "Sufani" by Gaudi, a sensual song with an amazing groove!! From cd2 Euphoria, "Luna" by Ganga, an athmospheric music journey.
Thanks Ravin (thanks Gaudi, and Ganga)

A superb CD in its categorySunday, December 28, 2003
The CD is enjoyable to people of all age. I specially enjoy the
track Breeze by Ratnabali. It is as good as other CDs of the Buddha bar series. It has a special blending of calm electronic music with voice. I enjoy listening to this CD and recommend it to all. It will have a permanent place in your collection.

The perfect cd to wake up to in the morningSaturday, December 13, 2003
I was going to hold off on buying the second volume of "Siddharta: Spirit of Buddha Bar" but when I was looking at the track list yesterday, I just had to have it despite the fact that I have yet to buy the first volume. I have always mean to buy the first "Siddharta" but I always seem to find something I want badly and end up buying. After listening to "Siddharta: Spirit of Buddha Bar 2", I definitely will have to buy the first volume. Anyone who reads my reviews on a regular basis knows what a big fan I am of the Buddha Bar series (and its siblings like "Chill Out in Paris" and "Barlotti"). Outside of goth/industrial/EBM music, my other love of music is chill out music especially when the music is released through George V records. I find the music very relaxing and soothing to listen to. The music is very spiritually comforting for the soul.
I personally enjoyed "Siddharta: Spirit of Buddha Bar 2". Although I have yet to hear the first volume, I must say that this compilation is equally as good as the "Buddha Bar" and "Chill Out in Paris" series. While "Buddha Bar" is more Asian influenced and "Chill Out in Paris" is Middle Eastern influenced, "Siddharta" is heavily influenced by Indian music which really shows in songs by Karsh Kale, Gaudi, and Nitin Sawhney. Like its siblings, there are two discs. The first disc is called AWAKENING which is basically the mellow side of the record. I found the AWAKENING cd absolutely breathtaking. I particularly enjoyed "Speck of Gold" by Afterlife and "Sleep Will Come" by Bliss. A spectacular cd. Disc 2 is called EUPHORIA which is consists of more uptempo songs and the perfect accompaniment to an after dinner cocktail. I particularly enjoyed the EUPHORIA cd quite a bit.
Unlike the other reviewer who didn't care for this particular compilation, I personally enjoy it. For me it is hard to find a good quality chill out compilation when so many compilations copies from each other. The people at George V Records really knows what people want. After listening to "Siddharta: Spirit of Buddha Bar 2", I definitely plan on buying the first volume right after the holidays.
