At a time when the world's population is pausing at the edge of the new millennium, contemplating the state of mankind and what the future holds for new generations, revolutionary film and advertising composer Jonathan Elias gives us The Prayer Cycle.

Elias, award-winning creator of musical themes for MTV, Nike, Levis, Coca-Cola and more, collaborates with some of today's greatest pop, rock and world artists to give voice to the universal feelings of hope and despair that rise with the dawning of a new century.

Collaborations between best-selling artists like Alanis Morissette, James Taylor, Perry Farrell (Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros), Linda Ronstadt, the late world music superstar Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (in one of his last recordings) and more, make The Prayer Cycle a unique and timely original album that will hold immediate appeal for thousands of fans. Each movement is an original song written by Elias and personally interpreted by the vocal soloists. Alanis Morissette and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan perform four songs each; James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, and Perry Farrell perform one song each. The Prayer Cycle is a soaring, soulful orchestral prayer that transcends boundaries between peoples, cultures, and music.

"...exquisite, soaring... Soothing haunting music for jangled psyches."  Entertainment Weekly ------------------ Featuring performances by Alanis Morissette Salif Keita Richard Bona Yungchen Lhamo Perry Farrell The American Boychoir Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Mah Damba James Taylor John Williams Ofra Haza Linda Ronstadt The English Chamber Orchestra & Chorus
