Hypnotic, entrancing music
I have several of Gabrielle Roth's cds and love them. I've played this one 3 times now and every time I have fallen asleep before the cd ends. Which is fine, good, very nice. It just has that effect on me. It has rhythm but it is hypnotic, driving rhythm. This is beautiful music, great for chilling, dancing, seduction, getting lost in.

Trancelike vs Stultifying
One person's soothing trance is another's enervating soporific. In spite of a solid set of back-up musicians creating some inventive variations on a theme, I thought the theme itself was monotonous. Maybe it's the influence of featured artist, Boris Grebenshikov, a grim Russian if there ever was one. I believe that the term Bardo refers to a Tibetan Buddhist version of...

Enjoyable and trancelike if you are in the mood for it, didn't find it as captivating as "Refuge"

Gabrielle Roth does it again, September 28, 2011
This review is from: Bardo (Audio CD)
I have almost all of her CD's and I don't think there is a bad song on any of them. The song Bardo I think is one of my favorites on this album. I agree that even though there is a driving beat to the music it is very relaxing. I think it is the rhythmic, trance-like nature of the beat that does it.

Trancelike vs Stultifying, April 14, 2004
This review is from: Bardo (Audio CD)
One person's soothing trance is another's enervating soporific. In spite of a solid set of back-up musicians creating some inventive variations on a theme, I thought the theme itself was monotonous. Maybe it's the influence of featured artist, Boris Grebenshikov, a grim Russian if there ever was one. I believe that the term Bardo refers to a Tibetan Buddhist version of the Christian Limbo or Purgatory. Certainly not the mystical, mythical place I would want to visit. And the music perfectly captures that droning, drowning in goo interdimensional place. I don't generally like everything Gabrielle Roth has produced, but some of her work is among the best out there. I was particularly disappointed in this one.
