5.0 out of 5 stars Tibetan Bells Ring on Forever, December 8, 1999

By

I can't give this CD strong enough praise. This is the best music for meditation or creating a peaceful background that I've found in many years. Anyone who has heard a Tibetan Bowl Gong knows the powerful effect of its sustained ringing tones. But this CD takes that effect and magnifies it by continuing the sustain even longer than is natural, and layering many bell tones over each other. Recordings of bowl gongs usually don't come close to the affect of hearing the real thing, but this CD is almost better than the real thing. It actually creates a unique experience all its own. I find myself putting this CD on repeat as I work around the house on a sunny day. I can forget its on and leave it play for hours. This is monumental ambient music. Truly a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless and Entrancing, June 24, 2000

I have been a fan of Deuter ever since I heard his album Ecstacy in the early 1980's. The seeming simplicity of the sound is deceiving. Being calm and still while listening, one can become transported into other realms. Unlike other recordings featuring Tibetan Singing Bowls, this one creates a field of beautiful sound rather than trying to make compositions. There is really nothing to follow, no place to go, one can simply be and breathe. Hearing this recording is like taking a sonic bath that revitalizes and refreshes one's nervous system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Profoundly Spritual, February 20, 2001

By 

Working mom (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nada Himalaya (Audio CD)

I have listened to many so called "relaxation" CDs, but this one is far superior to any I have heard, including other Deuter recordings. This one feels spiritually inspired. There is something about the ancient instruments used which have an effect on the very core of one's being. As far as I'm concerned this is his most successful recording yet.

If you want to take a journey to the very depth of your inner being.....not merely to relax to pretty music, then this is the recording you need. It goes beyond relaxing from the stresses of life, it goes to the very foundation of one's being. As a professional musician, myself, I find it difficult to find music which I can listen to and not analyze in some way...listening to rhythm, melody, texture, harmony, and such.

I was amazed at the level of spirituality I was able to feel with this CD....there is something about the harmonic vibrations and colors (timbres) of this music which resonates in an overall fundamental truth of life. I can't recommend this CD more highly. I wish Deuter would do more like this. The fact that he uses REAL instruments and sounds, as opposed to synthesized ones, make this music feel honest and true and alive, where many relaxation CD's sound contrived, to me. Definitely one you'll want to keep!
