Secret Journey reflects a musician in full stride, creating compositions laced with unbridled passion and poised grace. Rooted in world themes layered in smooth jazz and new age influences, OMar's third album has all the ingredients to be not only a chart topper but also a critic's darling."

“When I discover an album I love, my tendency is to play it all the time - at home, in the car, in my office. Ignoring the danger of overdoing it, I play the music over and over again until eventually – a different album replaces my current favorite. This hasn’t happened with Quiet Days. I have been listening to it almost exclusively now for such a long time.

What can I say? ‘Exquisite’ is the word that describes it best perhaps. Exquisite, dreamy, enchanting... No matter what kind of day I am having, I find myself relaxing to this amazing music playing in the background – gentle, yet so powerfully uplifting. Before I know it, I am smiling, I am filled with hope and I know: everything is going to be all right. Life is good. People are good. The future – positive and full of promise.

And just recently I have fallen in love with yet another album, Secret Journey by Omar Akram. The mood of Omar’s music is different -- more upbeat, uplifting, happy . . . It brings my spirits up almost immediately. Play it. I’m sure it will do the same for you.

In today’s world, with our moods – shifting and changing with each piece of news – what better way to stay balanced? Not to lose your ground? Wherever you are - in the midst of a busy day or back home after the day is done – take a pause. Play the CDs and let the music soothe you, transport you, bring you a new perspective.

For me – this has always been the best way to start the day and the best way to end it. The best way to come back to myself.”

Quiet Days, an hour of enchantment

Price: 14.95

Many seek peace of mind and are aware that it can be found in various leisure pursuits. Activity is one way to cope with the stress and anxiety of an increasingly complex and fast-paced world, but there is another way to disengage from the human race, the race to get wherever it is we think we should be going. You can suspend yourself in the oasis of bliss this music offers. You can find a place where nothing can disturb you.
