1.0 out of 5 stars Painfully off, March 1, 2003

This review is from: VIBRATION ~ Shulamit & the Drepung Gomang Buddhist Monks ~ Sacred Chants of Tibet & The Kabballah (Kabbalah) (Audio CD)

I wish I had paid attention to the other review on this page before acquiring this CD. I don't know how this CD got released, the monks on their own sound alright but the combo with Shalamut just does not work and her voice is predominant through the CD. I have no doubt the intentions were good and of the highest, but the results are not pleasing to listen to as her voice wavers and does not sound harmonious. Regretfully I have to give this CD a big thumbs down. If anyone does enjoy this CD I would really like to hear why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touched by Sound, September 7, 2001

By 

Christina Campion (Tabasco, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: VIBRATION ~ Shulamit & the Drepung Gomang Buddhist Monks ~ Sacred Chants of Tibet & The Kabballah (Kabbalah) (Audio CD)

I have been deeply touched through the experience of hearing the Vibration C.D. that Shulamit has produced in collaboration with the Monks of the Drepung Monastary. It is music to my soul; my innermost being. All at once I feel nourished & loved; Nurturing & loving; Iam reminded of something that I know & remember but to which there are not really any words to describe. I want this sound in my life & would be sorry to not have the pleasure of receiving this beautiful energy- source were it denied me,
I am grateful to Shulamit for presenting this opportunity to the world.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely disappointed, November 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: VIBRATION ~ Shulamit & the Drepung Gomang Buddhist Monks ~ Sacred Chants of Tibet & The Kabballah (Kabbalah) (Audio CD)

I love sacred music and chants but I was extremely disappointed with this CD. Unfortunately Shulamit cannot hold a note on key and this collaboration just does not work. I could barely listen to the CD the whole way through and will not be listening to it again. An expensive lesson that you can save yourself from.
