This album is a great collection of tracks that truly get you in the mood to have an elevated frame of mind. They are great for doing yoga to etc. I am an aficionado of musical traditions from around the world and in almost all cases found this compilation's selections to both be authentic and fun to listen to. I usually do not recommend compilations of any sort as they tend to use either very poppy or "cheap tracks" but this compilation shows thought and understanding of the musical traditions it represents.

This is a great collection that shows how different cultures sing to God and Invoke the Divine in their own unique way. African drumming, South American pan pipes, Hindu song, Native American chanting, and much more. Very uplifting and enjoyable.

National Gugak(Traditional Music) Center(NGC) in Korea has issued 4 CDs in 2001, as the name of Korean Instrumental music 1, Korean Instrumental music 2, Korean vocal music and unforgetable concert. These 2 CDs consist of Korean Instrumental music 1 and Korean vocal music. The recordings was given to Buda Records from NGC.

CD 1 consists of various Court music and CD 2 various vocal music. These CDs help you to understand Korea traditional music widely. If you find any music in these CDs, you can choose other CD having specific genre music.

Can't say this is my favorite CD. The songs are very strange and not exactly easy to listen to. I have other CD's that sound much better.
