About Rain Of Blessings: Vajra Chants
Amazon.com Tibetan lama Gyurme reunites with French composer Jean-Philippe Rykiel for an album of Vajra chant and New Age synth ambience. The result is an at-times lovely, at-times cheesy collection that decorates the monk's already perfect chant with ornaments of tingling bell synth and washes of sound. The appealing quality is Lama Gyurme's simple voice that, in raw, unadorned tones, creates a spiritual purity, which is often, but not always, reflected in the musical accompaniment of Rykiel. Such pieces as "The Six Syllable Mantra of the White Lotus Lord" and "Sacred Words of Liberation" work well in their seamless fusing of the Lama's long notes with the constant humming of the cosmos through metallic ambient synth, occasionally recalling the "Om" of Buddhist chant. Where the album lacks is in its Westernization of this traditional spiritual ritual, as on "Offering Chant" and its accompanying unplugged version, the latter of which has a sympathetic piano reminiscent of sentimental American pop. Still, it's a useful collection for those interested in the vocal praying of the Buddhist tradition. --Karen K. Hugg Product description Lama Gyurme's Rain of Blessings is a prime example of the powerful trend in the late '90s of so many supremely talented new age musicians to adapt the devotional music of non-European cultures to make it more accessible to the public longing for uplifting music. Lama Gyurme's Rain of Blessings is a wonderful blend of eastern and western. It will no doubt touch your heart and uplift your soul.- Acquaint yourself with Lama Gyurme's Rain of Blessings. You'll be incredibly glad you did! Lama Gyurme is blessed with the ability to create music that will leave your worldly cares behind.
