These first three of 12 songs that you are listening to are by artists from all over the world with a message.
These 12 tracks were presented in the same order they appear here as on the live edition of Zest Radio Show on February 3 2007 on CKRG 89.9 FM Radio Glendon, York University, Toronto, Canada.
Paul Richmond, host of the show, extends his gratitude to all of these great artists for donating their music for this segment, The One Word Mantra Of Peace.
After the segment was released as a download to communities the world over, reaction to the music was overwhelmingly positive and filled with emotion by the listeners, and the musicians that took part in this compilation.
There has been so much positive feedback of the music and the way it flows.
The lyrics of the songs presented and the underlying music send each artists expression of their thoughts of how the world around them has influenced their choice of message in collaborations and community spirit.
Certainly there must be more people out their that need to hear these musicians music in this amazing compilation, without the spoken word element of the broadcast included. Why? Because the music in this presentation encompasses the ability to bring forth many emotions in terms of our planet, it's inhabitants and ultimately, a want for peace to prevail.
Enjoy, and please, any feedback w

RWK, (reapersq),
Thank you for listening and reviewing.
RWK writes, "Paul this is incredibly good and the way its put together is awesome."
What can I say? It's the music and community spirit that speaks loudest in this musical compilation.
Again, it's thanks to the musicians that provided their music for this presentation that really put this together. I tried my best to ensure that many voices are heard via the musical expression contained in this compilation of songs, The One Word Mantra Of Peace.
Thank you RWK and all for your great feedback, support and community spirit.
Peace,
Paul
Hello Texas Jake Lee, (eslider)
Your support and participation are outstanding.
Your review, "This is one of the greatest compilations ever concieved!" is very much appreciated. I hope it is, and people will continue to take valuable lessons from the music and lyrics just by listening to this compilation.
Being that you are a contributor to this compilation as well as a listener, your comments mean a lot to us all.
Your song, If We All Sing The Blues, was a choice for this compilation that I was honoured and priveledged to include as part of The One Word Mantra Of Peace live radio presentation.
I am overwhelmed by the response of you Texas Jake Lee, all here at IMS, and beyond...
Thank you for continueing to spread peace with your amazing music and friendship to all.
Peace,
Paul
I have very few regrets,but one will always be this missed chance.
Leo had asked me to work on it,but I was unwell and overworked at the time,and so therefor...
But still,it has become so very familier to me as time has passed.
Gill...
So smooth and soothing.
It passes like a warm summer afternoon.
Happier to listen than to type to be honest.
David...
Brighter,like the morning sun.
Equally,music like this should be listened to,it doesn't need the words of others to waffle endlessly about this or that.
Just,enhjoy and Im most certainly did.

I am taken away so nicely by the subtle sounds that seem to dwell in a warm atmopshere-fine peaceful realm-relaxing-simplicity-one with the earth-giving not taking-drifting sounds-peace-easy litening-earthy-wonderful-fine most fine arranging-well though through-spontaneous-marvelous-peace-we all want it-I like it-peace-one with the earth-one with the guitar-cool acoustic-words are simple, but say much-expresively divine-friends-land for all-peace of music-peaceful music -feeling for this piece is wonderful and just what I needed. Thank you for the peaceful pleasure-great artistry.
-Vesa.
Beautifully done, as peace always is. Great tonal textures, rhythms and chants from world 'round. Great spoken word speaking great words like peace and healing. Cleverly inserted synth and guitar parts. One of the best things I've ever heard really, especially living in a country that venerates war profiteers above most anything. Oh, and the purrs? One of the most healing sounds on the planet. Wonderfully done!
Love the tympani (sp) ... very good mood setter.
Bluesman,
Thank you for taking the time to stop by, listen and comment.
Bluesman, glad you enjoyed from the outset of listening. The tympani does set the mood for the compilation. The song, Why Can't There Be Peace? was written as a community based collaborative effort by Leonardo Taglialavore. This song has a great deal of meaning to many that participated in the collaboration and to many that have listened to, Why Can't There Be Peace? It was an absolute honour and a priveledge to feature this song on the compilation. When I was putting the music together for this presentation, I had many emotions running through me...I tried to organize the music so as to have a particular flow musically, and lyricaly. When I finally had the music organized, I listened....many times. I hope you enjoy the journey and can take value from the all encompassing message we tried to convey with this project. As you said, "...very good mood setter." Indeed as you will find, there are many moods that can be realized in listening.
Peace,
Paul
