5.0 out of 5 stars not for the hermetically-sealed meditator..., May 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: TIBETAN RHYTHMS (Audio CD)

If you believe that the only way to meditate is in a closed up room with nothing to distract you from the sound of your own breathing, then of course you will hate this CD. For those who find that nature offers the best meditation, however, you should thoroughly enjoy it. The animal sounds are great...remind me of when I lived in the country,instead of in sterile suburbia, where I now reside. The "om" is just right, the music pleasant without being intrusive. Overall, it reminds me of the "Soft Wave" recordings of a few years back with the dolphin sounds. I must admit I haven't tried this CD outside of my vehicle, since I refuse to take it out of my car CD player for an instant. It has made my tension-filled commute so much more pleasant...keeps me from honking my horn and cursing the other drivers, since I don't want to spoil the peaceful environment the sounds and music create. That alone is worth the price! So don't listen to the "neigh"-sayers...get your own copy and get back to nature! (and the running horse is too kewl!)

I purchased this CD based on the sample I heard on this web site. The sample was really beautiful so I ordered the CD. Once I recieved the CD I sat down to meditate, really looking forward to hearing the whole CD. I WAS HORRIFIED, not more than a minute or so into the absolutely beautiful music and chanting there came animal sounds. This of itself isn't necessarily bad unless the sounds are of farm animals. I kid you not, suddenly you hear a rooster, a cow, a goat etc... It was as if I went from a tibetan buddhist monastery to Old McDonald's Farm. The sounds DO NOT FIT with the music and are discordant, jarring, annoying and out of place. I will never listen to this CD again and recommend you never purchase it either. The music and chanting are great, maybe the best of its genre, but it is destroyed by the poor judgement of the creators of the CD who didn't realize that farm animal sounds are not exactly conducive to meditation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible droning and animal sounds, January 5, 2000

By

This review is from: TIBETAN RHYTHMS (Audio CD)

The rhythmic droning wouldn't have been so bad... or the synthesized, repetitive music. But once the chicken started clucking, the rooster crowed, and someone rode by on horseback, my mood was shattered. What a waste. Recordings of natural environments can be relaxing, but what I purchased was a CD entitled "Tibetan Rhythms" not "Tibetan Farms." Not what I expected at all, and I doubt I'll listen to it again.
