Editorial Reviews

After two decades, Spiritual music producer Robert Gass returns to the powerful Sanskrit chant that became his claim to fame - the "Om Namah Shivaya." Accompanied by master flutist Steve Gorn on bansuri, Randy Armstrong on acoustic guitar and Kabir on tamboura, the vocal ensemble On Wings of Sound soars to new heavenly heights with this east meets west take on the famous mantra. A sense of joy and relaxation pervades the recording, making it equally potent for either meditation or stress relief. All listeners need to do is close their eyes and let the music guide them to a wonderful temple of tranquility. Bliss - Om Namaha Shivaya II is another example of a Robert Gass musical gift to humanity.- Bliss - Om Namaha Shivaya II with Robert Gass will give the listener another really special spiritual experience. Take the load of the world off your shoulders with Bliss - Om Namaha Shivaya II.

I find this chant to be so deeply moving. It takes me to a higher level in my devotions and worship. The beautiful melody, the subtle insertions of a clear, high soprano, the sounds of a guitar, the blending melodies of alto and tenor voices work a magical change in your mind and engage the soul and you find yourself "there"--in the Presence of Divine.

The "om nama shivaya" chant is great, but there is a flute solo intertwined with it that sounds like a jazz piece -- and is totally disruptive for me, completely breaks the meditative mood. I don't know why Gass added it. A pity, since so many of his other albums are great for meditation.

Om Namah Shivaya has soothing, energized chants that bring meaning to the Hindu scriptures emphasis on the sound and the power it carries. Truly mesmerizing.
