On the Brazil charts, superstar Sri Chinmoy’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for Sri Chinmoy’s new album to that on ‘107 Blue Heart-Boats’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Since completing 1992’s ‘Vibraphone’, Sri Chinmoy fulfilled their contract with Mute Records and where under no obligation to release another album. If you love Sri Chinmoy as much as I do, then Sri Chinmoy 107 Blue Heart-Boats is the CD for you!
