Reviews:
“A recording of such stunning realism that it ought to be pressed into service as a demo.” - Fanfare
“Congratulations to David Lewiston and Bridge Records for issuing this recording of ritual chanting by the monks of Ganden Monastery’s Shartse College. A worthwhile endeavor if you want to get down deep.” - EAR Magazine of New Music
“Equally bizarre in the short middle track, which features strange hocketing melody, and the long finale, where crashing cymbals and blaring horns punctuate the monks’ subterranean rhythms with exclamation points. Whether as a conversation piece or as a path to enlightenment, it’s an experience not to be missed.” - OPTION
