Chinese flavour
I listen a great deal to mantras and to collaborations between chanting and Eastern or Western derived music. Although, in this case, the mantras used are chiefly Sanskrit, the collection has a distinctly Chinese quality, in terms of the music style, the accents, and at one point, the language. The collection is broad, across two CDs, and I have found tracks which are both a fresh presentation of mantras commonly available in this format (eg to Avalokitesvara, and to Amitabah buddha), and a creative interpretation using more traditional Chinese music. The CD is in this way both useful to those practicing meditation (or its various forms, eg in Yoga, Tai-Chi) and for those who seek peace and solace on their iPods and home stereos. The collection may also appeal to those who enjoy traditional Chinese melody and instrumentation, although some examples of this (in common with the genre) were to me a little saccharine. Fully committed practitioners of pureland may find several tunes here that help aid their focus, along with some other tunes which have a refreshingly jolly approach.
