Mantra Mix: Tibetan Refugee Benefit Album (2-CD Set)




Review by M.Burgat on Amazon.com
The music is terrific! The opening track by Fatboy Slim is so hypnotic you will listen to it over and over. Sinead O'Connor's "This is to Mother You" crushed any negative thoughts about the controversial artist and Peter Gabriel's less digital remake of "Games Without Frontiers" is significantly more satisfying than the original. In addition to these known artists are some Buddhist chant tracks, one by the Dali Lama himself. These tracks are, for the most part, segregated to the 2nd CD so you can listen predominantly to the style of you choosing. The music and the chants make the perfect background music for an evening at home, the office or for those times when you will listen more closely like a long run or drive. In short this is one of those rare perfect all situation CDs. Disk 2 includes Quick Time interactive video of the Dali Lama and information regarding his beliefs (the disk also include the Quick Time program if you don't have it). Great for someone wanting to know more about the more religious based music/chants on the 2nd CD. This is the type of CD that your kids and your parents would enjoy listening to.
