Words cannot express what I feel about the music on this CD. The most unique and amazing world-music fusion CD out yet. The music is so well mixed. This album is well worth the money. I'm going to buy the DVD to find out more about what must have been an amazing effort to bring the music on this CD together...Free Music Review: This should be in your library

I was intrigued by the concept of 1 Giant Leap when I found out that founding Faithless member Jamie Catto was partially responsible for the album (and DVD). I was even more intrigued when I saw the list of guest appearances. The list includes Faithless's Maxi Jazz, international pop star Robbie Williams and REM's Michael Stipe. The entire album has an international flavor to the album combined with introspective lyrics. I didn't realize until now that the vocals were recorded separately and were eventually pieced together. I am impressed to say the very least. Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto did a bang up job of tying the vocals together and making them sound as if they were recorded together. "My Culture" is the perfect example. This sound is my favorite track on the album. Robbie Williams' vocals are so high that at times he sounded like a girl which isn't a bad thing. His vocals blended well together with Maxi Jazz's unique rapping style. "Dunya Salam" is a song that I would might hear either on a Talvin Singh or DJ I Cheb Sebbah album. I love that Indian/Middle Eastern influences in the song. There is something about traditional Indian and Middle Eastern music that sends chills down my spine. "Dunya Salam" has that same haunting aspect. My other favorite song off the album is "The Way You Dream" with Michael Stipe and Asha Bhosle. It is a beautiful song. I particularly enjoyed listening to Michael's vocals on this song. "1 Giant Leap" is a great example of when modern music is fused with traditional music from all over the planet. The music isn't completely modern nor is it truly international. Somewhere in between "1 Giant Leap" is stuck in the middle. If only there were more concept albums (if you want to call this album a 'concept album') like "1 Giant Leap".
