You might think that Robert Gass's collection Chant: Spirit in Sound would be monotonous and annoying, but in fact this two-CD set is anything but. Gathering together all forms of chant--from Hawaiian ensemble the Brothers Kanilau to the Armenian Haissmavourk Choir, along with more obvious but no less poignant selections of Islamic and Native American music--Gass produces an outstanding meditative tool. As he says, "Chant is the worship and celebration of the sacred through vocalization." If approached with this in mind, this collection lifts spirits and centers the soul. The diversity is so rich on the "Ecstasy" disc that highlights are difficult to single out: the Hindu chant of "Om Namah Shivaya" over modern dance beats is worth note as well as "Allah, Allah, Allah," an ominous Sufi devotional song. The second disc, titled "The Journey Within," is more reserved and slowly paced but nevertheless heavenly. --Karen Karleski

I wake up and put this on first thing in the morning. It is haunting music, with people singing to God in all different languages. Truly gives a sense of "we are all one."

Two CDs, one quieter than the other. The "Stillness" CD is my favorite for meditation. It is totally vocal with no instrumental accompaniment, and I find it puts me into a meditative state very quickly and easily. I've been using it as my main meditation music for about five years. A definite must!
I can't give this a better rating! August 9, 2005

The first disc, Ecstacy is so energizing and uplifting you have to experience it. It really does live up to its name, and you get a sense of the joy these folks have of their experience of the Divine
The second disc, Stillness is less energizing than the first, just as good, slightly more solemn. I highly recommend this set to anyone, and am looking for other similar discs.

This 2 CD pack is packed with powerful, beautiful, and sacred chant from around the world. Once you listen to these vocal arrangements, you will search high and low to get your hands on the individual albums.Excellent for meditation, as a form of prayer, or to just relax and enjoy the etheric sounds. Highly recommended without any reservation!
