The second best selling volume of songs by a group that adapt and record popular songs in Gregorian chant style.

"... note the warning (which I didn't spot) that the disc is copy-protected. On the disc cover itself it notes that it cannot be played on a computer -- meaning no ripping the music to your PC (to listen to yourself) or to your MP3 player (to listen to yourself). Which makes its utility almost nil.
If you're only going to listen to this on a CD player, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, you're out of luck."
"Unless you have a traditional CD player, do not buy this CD. In some fashion beyond my ken, it will not operate in a computer-based CD driver (which is all I have these days), which renders this disc completely useless to me. In the small, tiny print on the back, there's a notice to this effect, but that does little good to someone purchasing the CD on-line, sight unseen. Amazon should yank this product from their offerings, or at least have a nice 14-point Red lettered warning that this disc is useless to folks in this modern computer age."

"There are 4 CD's to date produced by this group. To call the CD Chant is misleading to anyone not Having heard one their CD's before. All the melodys are popular and enjoyable to hear. The accompanyment is excellent and the singing performed in a slow manner - which is assumed to be the Chant. The total effect is very pleasing and I am sure would be enjoyed by a wider range of audience - if they realized that it is not dull liturgical music of a bygone era."

"I found the soothing harmonies and lush musicianship of the CD quite relaxing. I found it stimulating in a contemplative manner, stirring rich emotions and thoughts. I have bought other CDs by this group, and will buy more--as time goes by."
