Guy’s new album has been officially released on the 26th of March 2009 on UK record label MG Music. It’s the stunning completion of his successful trilogy inspired by India and tells the story of Ganesha, the Hindu God with the elephant head.

Prem is for those who wish to uplift themselves through Sound Current, for those who wish to partake in the sacred mantra, for those who understand that experience is priceless. May it bring self-love and healing into your life.

On …In Existence, Sawyer blends English and French lyrics, as well as the traditional chants of the Hopi Indians and fromEast African Swahili, underscoring these elements with melodic, meditative pop music. More an overall, multi-ethnic experience than an easily categorized adult contemporary release, it’s best experienced in its entirety, as a journey to some sort of spiritual center.

Emmy Award winning composer Chris Spheeris, along with Robert Cory, has created an uninterrupted hour of exotic soundscape evoking culture and ritual as it unravels a global and mystical journey of the human spirit.

Unforgettable Sufis brings together the eternal poetry of mystic poets, Kabir Sahib and Hazrat Amir Khusrau. The evocative lyrics drawn from their poetry explore the myriad shades of love and spell the rich experience of musical ecstasy. The most fascinating aspect is that these renditions are blend with the melody of Indian Classical music, making this album a timeless gift of love for the yearning souls who long to be in communion with the divine.

Compelling duets and kirtan call-response between Guru Ganesha Singh and Snatam Kaur, whose unforgettable voices create a counterpoint of masculine and feminine, strength and sweetness, earth and ether.

Kirtan is the calling, the crying, the reaching across infinite space — digging into the heart’s deepest well to touch and be touched by the Divine Presence. Kirtan is part of an ancient form of Yoga known as Bhakti, or the Yoga of Devotion. It is the practice of singing over and over the many names of God and the Goddess, the multi-colored manifestations of the One. It is said that there is no difference between the name and that which is being named, and as the words roll off our lips in song, the Infinite is invoked, invited, made manifest in our hearts.
