Customer Rating: Summary: Release yourself from road rage! Comment: I bought this CD to help me relax when traffic gets heavy. It has a nice deep bass to it, and is very soothing to me. People who like a driving beat will not enjoy these chants so much, but I'm sure they lower my blood pressure and help me arrive home ready to enjoy the evening, no matter what the roads were like! Customer Rating: Summary: Love it! Comment: I love this cd. This is exactly what I've been looking for: 1) all male voices, 2) no talking, and 3) no extra music or instruments. This provides the perfect background for meditation, powerful prayer, or just comfort before or after a stressful event. Customer Rating: Summary: Unusual order Comment: The chanting is excellently done. However, the order is a bit unusual. The chants begin with Lent/Passiontide, then progress into Easter, Advent and Christmas. That's a little odd. If you're using this to focus on the life of Our Blessed Lord (like the 15 mysteries of the Rosary), the order is off kilter. But I guess you could just program your CD player with whatever order you want.
The Latin is pronounced well on this CD. (Sometimes you can get a chant CD on which the chanters have French accents.)
Note to the reviewer who was mad about the word "cult": Forgive the translator who used that word. It sounds like a false cognate error to me. The ones who are hardest for me to forgive are those who discontinued Gregorian chant's primacy of place in the liturgy; the ones I can never understand are those who go to Novus Ordo masses. Lex orandi, lex credendi. Customer Rating: Summary: Getting Lost While Meditating Comment: I'm not an expert on meditation techniques, but I do know that once while listening to this album I woke up 50 miles from my house with nothing to clothe me but a piece of chiffon, an interesting recipe for perogies tucked under my armpit, and absolutely no recollection of what had taken place. I was lead to believe by this product that being "lost" in meditation would entail no more than some deep thinking, and not many hours of unaccounted for experience and celtic tribal tattoos wrapped around my thighs. Customer Rating: Summary: Calming, Centering, a bit repetitive Comment: This CD is great for creating a calm, focused environment. It can be used for meditation, relaxation,or as a sleep-aide. I have not stayed awake past the 3rd track when I listen with headphones after laying down to bed. The only complaint may be that all the tracks sound similar to me. The quality of the recording and singing is excellent. If you speak and understand Latin, you should derive even more from listening to this CD.
