Best of the meditative "bell"s

"What makes this outstanding is the way it is recorded...many of this type of recordings become very soft and then abruptly become loud and "blow your trance" or if your using this for sleep music wake you up in a jarring manner...this Cd is as good if not better than any of the singing bowels and this and Karma Moffet are the two best by light years...."

Singing Bowels?

"What a great typo THAT was ... thank you, other Mr. Kramer.This is an excellent CD. The sound quality is superb, and Xumantra allows the natural harmonics and resonances of each bowl to shine through, both individually and in combination with other bowls. The flow of the pieces is superb, and the music created is truly -- and I know this word is utterly overused, particularly in these types of recordings -- transcendant.If you want the best in singing bowels, I highly suggest a homemade bean burrito -- none of that frozen stuff. And use a little pork fat, while you're at it.If you want the best in singing bowls, pick up this CD. For meditation, for relaxation/sleepytime, and for listening to the sublime and subtle resonances of these simple-seeming instruments, give a listen to Xumantra."

NONLYRICAL!!

"I was hoping for something alittle more lyrical....little use of the higher octave bowls here....the ones that produce the most pleasant sounds. This CD will be excellent for meditation, however, since the reverberations of the bowls literally "penetrate" the body and, therefore, carry you to a different plane of consciousness. But to use as "quiet backround" in the home this CD isn't "pleasant" enough...I had hoped to use it for that purpose too."
