This is Pathaan’s & the label’s little statement, through this excellent new release. Pathaan is not a politician but is human & sickened by the current world affairs. Hence this release is ‘a celebration of life’. Following on from previous editions of Stoned Asia Music and the more recent double mixed CD Small World to critical acclaim, May 2003 sees the launch of ‘STONED ASIA MUSIC presents WORLD PEACE’ in the Stoned Asia Music stable featuring 13 exclusive & hard to find productions. Mixed effortlessly by Pathaan. Pathaan takes you on one of his musical voyages ranging from the beach, front room or car to the dancefloor – WORLD PEACE please!

Ironically a review on September 11th 2002 in 7 Magazine Issue 167, about ‘WORLD PEACE’ which was never released until now:

7 Magazine Issue 167 - Kickin Music A&R Pathaan is synonymous with a brand of horizontal chilling that's purely global. What he does best is dig up the grooves that no one else - not even the most dedicated trainspotter - has discovered. You won't find any of these gems on 'Ibiza Chill Vol 37', which naturally is a very good thing indeed. He scores an immediate coup with Bob Holroyd's 'Call To Prayer’, which features Cat Stevens on vocals (his first in 15 years). Other cuts riff on an axis that connects Marrakesh, the pyramids, strong herbs and midnight dub, from artists that come from Croatia, New York, Vienna and beyond.    Kieran Wyatt 5 Dancing Men

XLR8R - Music can often be an escape from the troubles of the world. However, here Pathaan expresses his feelings on the state of current affairs, and cries out for harmony. Chilled, calming and tranquil downtempo offerings are the order of the day here, with handpicked offerings from around globe. This compilation conveys a musical message that must be listened to.    Jon Freer
