Like so many of his recent albums, this one lacks feeling, lacks cohesion, lacks what I love about Bucket's music. These songs are forgettable.

Decoding the Past - Secrets of the Koran (History Channel)
$24.95
This DVD is an interesting introduction to the Koran and it's history. It's not a deep scholarly study--it's made for television and produced to be accessible to a mass audience that is largely unfamiliar with Islam. As that, it is well paced and professionally produced--similar to other programs on the History Channel.

Of course, if you want to study the Koran and Islam in a serious fashion, you will probably look to books or classes and not rely on a television script.

By the way, if you are interested in the Islamic faith, be sure to look into Sufism as well. Sufism is a 'mystical' sect of Islam that is intentionally heart and art focused. Check out Meher Baba also.
