Xumantra (shoo-mantra), cosmic voyagers.......2001-05-30

I have not read much about the members of Xumantra or their artistic aims, but fortunately, their music pretty much seems to speak for itself. This is not so much an album as it is a headspace- created by gongs, bells, bowls, and other metallic implements used in meditation and ritual in the east- which will serve to relax and center you, no matter what your beliefs may be. Buy this album, buy some incense (I recommend Nag Champa), turn out the lights, and just EXIST in the music, if you have the courage. This is not party music, and it is not 'easy listening'.. it is simply sculpted sound with magnificent power and scope. And yet it is extremely minimalistic. A person conditioned by commercial radio and television might call it boring, but the fact that Xumantra doesn't call to mind the flashing lights and flickering images of our modern world only adds to their appeal. If you like this, you may also want to look into the works of Steve Roach, Robert Rich, percussionists like Jim McGrath and tuvan singers like Jim Cole (Colescence).

Singing Bowels?.......2002-08-21

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!!.......2002-06-05

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.

For people who like singing bowls it is a good CD though a bit slow.

Best of the meditative "bell"s.......2000-05-07

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....

Amazing sounds.......2003-09-28

I love this CD for the musical content, not whether or not the performances are "authentic". It stands up to repeated listening. This CD puts a whole new light on sound as music or music as sound. If I could find another of Presencer's CDs, I would buy it.

Magical mystery tour of Tibet.......2000-07-26

Actually this album is by the French-Candian Alain Presencer who has lived in Britain for many years. It was originally recorded in 1981 and features a rather small selection of Tibetan singing bowls, various horns, and Alain's vocal exploits. The quality of the recording is good and some of the singing bowl pieces feature a combination of bowls of good quality. But the pieces featuring vocals and horns awaken incredulity as to their authenticity. For instance, the piece 'Bon-po chant' sounds more like a Jewish funeral song and absolutely nothing like a real Bon-po chant. At the time of this recording very little was known about the Bon-pos and we had only the one recording - on Ocora - soon to be released as a CD. The thigh-bone trumpets on 'Lamentation' are certainly handled in a manner unfamiliar to Tibetan lamas. We are informed that Alain Presencer has visited Ladakh, Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal and, illegally Tibet. The liner notes also claim that he has 'received instruction' from lamas of the Bon-po regarding the use and significance of the bowls. Therefore, a certain adherence to this Bon-po - pre-Buddhist - tradition of Tibet, here interpreted as being linked to the 'spirit worship' and magical sorcery of Tibet, is insinuated. However, unfortunately, this magical mystery tour seems to unleash the energies of the lower spirit realms. There is a certain pretentiousness in this production, whilst its formal content is more westernised and the bowl sounds are presented in a far more sensational light than might have been originally intended in eastern spiritual practice. The music suffers from a lack of intuition and sensitivity regarding the psychic dimensions of such meditative sounds. However, there is a magnificent gong that accompanies several of the pieces. In its time, and being released in the UK, through the inclusion of voice and the several horns, the album displayed a comparatively slightly larger range of sounds than the comparable albums of Wollf and Hennings - i.e. 'Tibetan Bells'. However, the number of such instruments and the range of sonic textures by the latter, featuring Tibetan bells, bowls and cymbals, far exceeds those on this album. If your interest in such sounds leans towards the superficial, then this is the album for you.
