Synopsis

Album Description

It's been exactly ten years since the release of 'The Lama's Chant/Songs Of Awakening' by Tibetan Monk Lama Gyurme & French keyboards wizard Jean-Philippe Rykiel. This stunning album a musical UFO in the musical landscape of the mid-nineties was highly successful in Europe (more than 200 000 copies sold), especially in Spain (where it was certified gold), in Italy & France. Released worldwide (Last Call/Sony Classical), 'The Lama's Chant' became a 'classic' & remains unequalled. To celebrate this tenth anniversary, Last Call & Taktic Music are re-releasing a remastered version of 'The Lama's Chant/Songs Of Awakening', along with a bonus CD of unreleased live recordings. Recorded during the 1995/96/97 & 2000/2001 tours, these live performances convey an impressive feeling of power lead by the highly inspired voice of Lama Gyurme literally wrapped up by the keyboards of Jean-Philippe Rykiel & Loy Ehrlich. Last Call.

CD Reviews

Nice chanting music.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this collection to replace my single CD of "Songs of Awakening" which I lost.

Songs of Awakening is one of my favorite meditation & bedtime CDs. More punctuated than Gregorian Chants and somehow more accessible than other Tibetan Chants (such as the Monks of Drepung Loseling Monestary, although I enjoy their stuff when not meditating).

The "Roads of Blessings" CD is a nice change of pace from time to time, but not my favorite. I feel like the music on this CD overpowers the voice of Lama Gyrume.

Overall though, I'd certainly recommend this collection to anyone looking for Tibetan chanting music."
