1 out of 5 stars New Age 3, Tibet 1.......2007-01-13

The skimpy liner notes, mostly taken up with drivel about "mythical paradise", "dream landscape", and the "jewel mountain", tell us only that, "following the accounts of journeys, with an empathy sensitive to the task, Dave Miller has succeeded in blending the acoustic, spiritual original impressions with Western technology, thus creating a very special meditation for our untrained ears." Well, my untrained ears certainly heard much low-key atmospheric chanting (occasionally interspersed with the sound of passersby chatting, laughing and coughing), and I have no problem with that. But to call the music that one hears "Authentic Music from Tibet" stretches credulity. The overlay of "Western technology" is so thick as to overwhelm the Tibetan substratum with New Age synthesizers, drums, strings, flutes and god knows what else.

This would be a great CD to listen to while having a massage. But for a taste of what can be achieved when local sounds are blended skillfully with Western musical craftsmanship, I'd suggest you take a listen to "Mudanin Kata", featuring David Darling's cello teamed with the chants of the Wulu Bunun of Taiwan.
