5.0 out of 5 stars Eerie, authentic Tibetian temple songs, February 13, 2003

This review is from: Sacred Tibetan Chant (Audio CD)

Although it opens with familiar-sounding throat sings and droning chants, this disc explores a wider range of styles, with songs and arrangements that may be unfamiliar to many world music fans... Not goofy pop remixes, as others have done, but rather a deeper exploration of the real traditional material of Tibet's ancient religious heritage. Unusual and quite pleasant; this is an album whose charms will slowly sneak up on you and then become quite compelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars As authentic as it gets -- no room for idiots, July 6, 2005

This review is from: Sacred Tibetan Chant (Audio CD)

I listen to a lot of different recordings of Tibetan chant in my meditative practice (as a beginning practitioner), and this recording on CD is great for anyone interested in Eastern, Tibetan, or tantric meditation as a practice.

Contrary to some novice who finds the throat clearings "distracting," I welcome the absolute authenticity of these ritual chants. People should demand nothing less when it comes to rituals. I don't seek cleaned-up, filtered-down, overproduced, glamourized recordings to flirt with. These are meaningful and spiritual sounds. They come from the belly of the universe, and shame on those who want their chants prettied up.

There is nothing in the ambient noises that distracts me from going deeper and deeper into meditation, so this disc was absolutely a good buy and is now one of my top meditation CDs.

The CD consists of three daily practices performed by the monks of Sherab Ling Monastery. Authentic Tibetan chanting has real power to remove obstacles and pacify the minds of listeners. I therefore recommend this CD very highly!
