1 Giant Leap

You never know what inspiration you might find in a yoga class, or anywhere else for that matter. While going through a rather arduous flow series from triangle through half moon and other poses, Wendy played this cool song:



I always find that good music can make yoga poses and long runs seem like a walk in the park.
"What was that song you were playing during triangle pose?" I asked Wendy after class.
"Haha...you must be talking about the song from 1 Giant Leap. It was a movie with a lot of yogi types. It's a great movie, touching on a lot of interesting issues. You should see it," she said.

It took me a few days to remember to look it up, but I'm glad I did. 1 Giant Leap has just released their second DVD: What About Me. Part global travelogue through 50 destinations across five continents and part music video with excellent music by a wide range of musicians, 1 Giant Leap (Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman) embark on a journey to explore the human spirit and our interconnectedness through music, culture and beliefs. It's a visual collage of our views on life, love, God, money and the search for meaning set to a moving soundtrack.

I've always wondered who did the spoken word in that song - it's on one of those compilations that always remind me of chilled-out cafes off of Sukhumvit Rd.

Maxi Jazz/Faithless are fantastic.

yeah, great song...i tried googling the credits to the song, but couldn't find the guy who speaks in the beginning, but i have a feeling if one were to watch the dvd, he'd be in it.
