"Awsome" is literally how you would describe the Tibetan ritual musics on this record, but then that word doesn't even come close. At times you can actually visualize the skull cracking open. "Auspicious Sounds Of Instruments In Nine Repetitions" in particuar is just amazing. It's probably where everything comes to a boil. Through the music you can really visualize how connected the Dip Tse Chok Ling monks are to various netherworlds. The monks use a wide range of instruments from the kangling(thighbone trumpet) and conchs to the monstrous longhorns. The percussion is quite intense as well, sounding like all manner of chaos descending in one fell plummet. This is not your typical world/new age music. This is intense, dissonant and unpredictable drone music for purposes of magick ritual. By the way it lurches one minute and soars the next, it's almost an entity unto itself.

Excellent music and meditative experience. I recommend this cd highly. A true Tibetan experience.Sacred Ceremonies 2: Tantric Hymns & Music of Tibetan Buddhism

Excellent meditative and listening experience in Tibetan meditation, chanting and prayer. I highly recommend it. As a practicing Buddhist who has studied with a Tibetan Lama, I find this top quality in listening experience.
