Not an improvement of "BONAMPAK" But...

"If you can't find "BONAMPAK" which was the original issue, then this might satisfy you. They took "BONAMPAK" and re-processed the numbers adding electronic "enhancements". But if you were to hear both CDs side by side you can tell that "Ring..." sounds weaker as if the main melody was pushed just slightly to the background. This CD does have a certain magic of its own and like "BONAMPAK" it is best heard on a good audio system with as large speakers as you can get and turned up. When you hear it like that the music transports you to different mental levels. But it is by no means Aztec or Incan music. It is just idealized. And there's lot of barking dogs in the jungle!"
