Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Since the 1980s, arranger and producer Robert Gass and heavenly chorale group On Wings of Song have created music to blissfully space out to. A compilation of the best tracks from their second decade of collaboration, Enchanted highlights the peaceful sounds of the chorale performing Gregorian, Native American, and Hindu chants with very subtle accompaniment from harp, hand percussion, flute, and acoustic guitar. Ironically the standout piece, "Beyond the Beyond (Heart of Perfect Wisdom)," focuses on Tibetan-style overtone chanting, the droning vocals representing a sharp but welcome contrast to the other songs. The inclusion of harp, guitar, flute, and bells on this track is as surreptitious as anywhere on the album, tastefully adding flavor to a beguiling soundscape. Some listeners may find the delicate songs on Enchanted to be a little too homogenous in terms of dynamics and atmosphere, but they can provide soothing sanctuary when needed. --Bryan Reesman

5.0 out of 5 stars Sisters In Song, August 10, 2003

By A Customer

When I first heard the second track on this cd- titled, The Center of My Life, I began to cry from the beauty of it. I felt it directly in the heart chakra. I reach for this cd time and time again. It is simply from the heart and channelled from GOD.
There is so much peace from listening to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars IS IT POSSIBLE TO WEAR OUT A CD??!!?, January 8, 2004

By	CJM "Cliff" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This album is amazing! My favorite three tracks on this album:

1. Alleluia
2. Kyrie
3. Om Namaha Shivaya

I would have paid the price of this CD for each of the three tracks. Therefore this CD is a real bargain!! I would also recommend the Bliss cd (om namaha shivaya II)

I plan on buying at least one more copy of this in case anything happens to the first one. This is a perfect album for meditation or just to soothe your stress. It truly reaches you at a soul level. Do not hesitate to buy this CD, you will reach for it over and over.
