If you are at all keen on Gregorian chant music this is a wonderful version of that type of singing with modern, rather than medieval songs. It is haunting music. Very relaxing. I have played this over & over & never get tired of it. I can thoroughly recommend this CD

Good gregorian chant singing songs by Simon and Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, Metallica !!, others. They have more than one disc.

I thought they pulled off this stylistic "mashup" very well. I don't know how seriously you can take the words - it isn't a worship aid. But it is interesting and well done.

I played Nothing Else Matters to my prayer group and some of the younger participants almost fell off their chairs laughing, while others (older people) thought it was nice.
