5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, haunting, and very listenable, October 27, 2003

I received a copy of this album after seeing the film, and it just keeps growing on me every time I listen to it. The music is emotionally evocative and poignant, yet soothing. There's a wonderful diversity of instrumentation and treatments that keeps the flow of tracks constantly interesting: especially the unique interplay between pairings such as trumpets and piano, with Tibetan long horn and bamboo flutes, which creates a very listenable blend of modern soft jazz and traditional Tibetan elements. There are passages of luminous chanting and singing that are just gorgeous, as well as edgier passages that recall the film. I've found that I enjoy listening to it in my office as well as in the car because it's calming without being tranquilizing. I think this is a great album for anyone at all interested in Tibet, or someone who likes to play atmospheric or meditative background music. You can't really dance to it, but it really does make you feel good to listen to!

I love this CD and Nawang's other entitled Quiet Mind. This CD leaves me feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, more spiritually atuned and softened, more peaceful. Yet these words inadequately describe the beautiful sensation that Nawang's music produces. I believe this music is life changing.

When I heard the first note (of this CD) for the first time, I instantly began meditating (without being self-induced). I also began to relax while simultaneously experiencing a sense of spiritual and creative awakening. An interesting sensation to say the least. This beautiful one-of-a kind music is a blessing, a true godsend. We have much to learn from the Tibetans and their music is breath-taking. I'm so thankful to have this CD (and Quiet Mind too), as they bring me so much joy, awe, and spiritual comfort. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Memory of Tibet, January 11, 2007

I can listen to this soundtrack repeatedly without tiring. Ngawang Khechog's voice is as lovely as his flute. It's a lush soundscape of chanting monks, poignant prayers and digitally enhanced ritual music which recalls mountain monestaries, pastoral farmlands and a country slowly fading into the past.
