Emusic, Best of 2001

Kondo and Laswell continue their fertile, creative collaboration as they join forces with Bernocchi and his Holiness the Dalai Lama

Product Description

"I am often telling my artist friends that through my lectures, I may reach a few hundred, a few thousand or maximum a hundred thousand people. But artists through music, painting or sculpture whether it is a constructive message or destructive message can reach millions. Therefore, artists can promote peace, love, compassion and harmony, which everybody wants you see. Everybody really is praying or eager about that." His Holiness The Dalai Lama

4.0 out of 5 stars Dalai Lama Speaks, November 17, 2001

This review is from: Life Space Death (Audio CD)

I didn't know anything about this album when I bought it. I was hoping that this was an album of Dalai Lama chanting, but it is in fact a series of short talks on Life, Space, and Death.

I still like the album, though. If you have heard Bill Laswell's treatment of William Burroughs (on Material's The Road to the Western Lands, for example) then you will be quite familiar with the style of this disc. It includes spoken word layered over a background of Laswell's guitar and keyboard and Tochinori Kondo's trumpet and electronics.

This album is produced by meta productions found at metastation.com. The cd is about 35 minutes long.

4.0 out of 5 stars fascinating, June 2, 2005

This review is from: Life Space Death (Audio CD)

The idea of this album is fascinating. The music is both interesting and relaxing at the same time, Kondo and Laswell shaping their ambient dub style music brilliantly around His Holliness' words. The only reason I would really give it only 4 stars is that at times it is very difficult to understand His Holliness. I had to listen to the disc a few times through very closely to get some of the finer nuances of his speech. Still the disc is interesting and definitly worth a listen, especially if you have interest in life, space, death, or Bill Laswell.
