Album Description
While other genre labels like Narada and Windham Hill diversified from their new age roots, Real Music has been consistent over the years in providing nothing but the best music for relaxation, meditation and spiritual enhancement. Their most notable recordings come from an Eastern Buddhist mindset, with multi-instrumentalist Karunesh leading the pack on the strength of previous discs Zen Breakfast and Nirvana Café. His basic approach to contemplative music involves a blend of exotic textures (bells, chimes, Tibetan bowls, sitar and Chinese instruments) with easy grooves and rich walls of ambience. The new collection's trance inducing instrumentation and sensuous rhythms begins with a few minutes of pure ambience and sitar, before slowly introducing a gentle percussive line ("For the Joy of It All"); Avinash's graceful Indian violin carries a mournful beauty that is also part of the similarly hypnotic, easy grooving "Monsoon's Dance." Bikram's Bansuri flute floats through beautifully in key locations, such as the introduction of "Mount Kailash." While the uninitiated might feel that there's a certain repetitive nature to the tracks (which usually begin with sparse instrumentation before the electricity is turned on), the intention is more to invoke a sense of inner peace than to be truly innovative. The title of the richly textured "Zensual" sums up the mystical intent of the thought provoking exercise.~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide

The pleasure in the feeling of non-existence.......2006-05-28
It's been 4 days since I bought them. I am not listening to any other song than Monsoon Dance for almost 4 days, day and night.. I am usually obsessed with these kind of mystic songs, listening to one song at a time for days a stretch, even when I sleep.
Thats the effect of the song Monsoon Dance. Truly, the mystic feeling of non-existence is an amazing pleasure. I feel one with the entire universe when I listen to this song.
I wonder what the composer might have gone through to come up with such an amazing piece of music. The Indian violin's effect is rather deep.

If ever a recording was made for the CD medium, it's Tibetan Bells. Originally released in 1972 on Island Records, it has taken nearly 30 years for this influential recording to make its way to compact disc, but it's worth the wait. Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings use Tibetan bells, gongs, and singing bowls to orchestrate crystalline echoes of the mind. There are no tunes or melodies here; rather, this is a shimmering aurora borealis of sound that's diaphanous and reverberant, like windows opening up into an altered state of sound. High chimes ring against a backdrop of sustained glissando from a singing bowl. Deep gongs call out from a hidden abyss. Released in the waning days of psychedelia, Tibetan Bells was the deep chill ambient album of its time. Decades later, it resonates. --John DilibertoAlbum Description
This album is a digital re-mastering of the original Tibetan Bells released in London, England 1972, the legendary "underground classic". A milestone recording event, this superb state-of-the-art CD makes available for the first time the full wealth of sound captured by the 1972 studio master tapes. For, it is a surprising fact that this premier of the celebrated Tibetan Bells series that grew in time to the world-celbrated cycle, has never unitl now appeared in a format other than the outmoded vinyl LP. That shortcoming is made good at last by this present Tibetan Bells millenium album. Not quite a new recording, but far more thant the "old", this brilliantly re-mastered CD restores the pristine textures and the unheardshades of an elusive music living on the remote edge of the audible. Thus after a quarter century and more there is now obtainable the single record long famed for defining the music now known as "New Age" -- the soundscape of a re-invented consciousness.Customer Reviews:
desert island.......2007-06-06
the cd version kills your ears as the sound is so pure.
i literally cant listen to it.
i recommend the vinyl if you can find it. the pops are cool with it, and far better mastering than todays aluminium baked crap.
or, bung it to cassette to warm it up.
its great but too bad about not having the original artwork. this is cheezy.
P.S. the ones after this are not nearly as good!
Loud clashing drum sounds ruin the bells.......2005-06-01
This remastering ruins the original and in my opinion is totally unsuitable for meditation. Try Tibetan Bowls instead.
The item was returned for resale.

Sea of Immortality.......2002-03-04
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream sang John Lennon some six years before this album was recorded. This music transcends boundaries and defies description. It has a timeless quality almost irridescent except you cannot see it.
The listener almosts gasps at the perfection of the sounds that seem to hang in the air.
This music is a joy to listen to, a joy to experience. You cannot say much about it but you can feel it with your mind and body.
What an experience!

Tibetan Bells III: The Empty Mirror

Album Description
By the expression of subtle harmonic relationships, Tibetan Bells III, quickly transcends the temporal domain. The resonance of the Tibetan bell tones, far richer than any synthetically produced sound, builds an increasingly fine perception and subtle comprehension in the listener. The purity of tone and long haunting echoes of Tibetan Bells III create an audible curtain permitting the listener to perceive a universe which extends beyond conventional limits. The spectacular duration and purity of the bell tones can be attributed to more than their composition. Wolff and Hennings are the sounding boards through which we can approach a visionary realm.Customer Reviews:

Album Description
Tibetan Bells II is the outcome of years of study, travel, and experiment by Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings, two musicians resolutely in quest of the "sound between the spaces." Bringing together musical elements never before associated, sounds vastly separate it time, space, and tradition, the musicians have advanced across remote areas of sound. In Tibetan Bells II, the ancient resonances of the bells of Tibet are deployed within a musical framework uncompromisingly 20th century, and Western. Tibetan Bells II is an unprecedented synthesis of the sounds of East and West, past and present. The instruments of this release are exclusively the bells of Tibet. These remarkable instruments have been described elsewhere, yet it is a striking fact that the tones of Tibetan bells, the indigenous products of a highly evolved yet little known Asian culture, have often been confused with the ultra-modern sounds of electronic music. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no electronic tampering and the resonances of the bells owe nothing to outside sources. Unearthly and timeless, they are their own.Customer Reviews:
Great for doing Eastern massage modalities........2005-07-23
Zen and the art of musical performance.......2002-03-08
This, the second album by Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings saw the light of day at the same time as punk was rejecting the pomp and complexity of modern rock and returning to the more simple rock'n'roll roots.
Listening to this album today using the newer technology of Compact Disc, the listener discovers a new realm of listening and experiential pleasure.
Whereas the vinyl album could convey soe of the recorded sound the CD captures much more. And, not only does the sound resonate much more but the space between the sounds is much sharper and clearer. The CD provides the listener with a vehicle with which to transcend the ordinary listening experience and carry one off to a higher plane.
As to the music itself there is a richness which defies description in words. It is evocative, it is soothing, it is ecstatic. It is all this and more.
Again this album would benefit from a remastering for DVD-audio.
Excellent
Ambient Classic.......1999-04-06
This album uses only bells, chimes and Tibetan singing bowls in very languid, slow-evolving zero-time compositions. Perfect for relaxation, meditation, & surrendering to the cosmic void.
Proves conclusively that synthesizers aren't necessary for ambient zone-outs. This album is Wolff/Hennings's best and an ambient classic.
A very special CD for meditators and altered states.......1999-03-27

Product Description
With Tibetan Bells IV: The Bells of Sh'ang Sh'ung, new trails are blazed by the musicians who created the classic Tibetan bells trilogy. Sh'ang Sh'ung is the Tibetan name for the fabled lost kingdom where the most precious teachings of Buddhism were conceived, are concealed, and remain preserved to this day. On this recording, Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings weave a metaphor in music, a sound poem depicting a journey to the mythic precincts of Sh'ang Sh'ung. Legends surrounding this remote and lost terrain tell of the punishing hardships that must be overcome to reach the city. Wolff and Hennings succeed in depicting the physical, mental, and spiritual tribulations of such a pilgrimage, and the awe inspiring spectacle of the Himalayan wilderness. The recording opens with the travelers striking across ranges of crystal cliffs and steep snowfields haunted by the Yeti, the legendary abominable snowmen. Seemingly insurmountable dangers are briefly forgotten at the sight of the sun rising over rose tinted glaciers and wind funneled plumes of snow careening against an azure sky the first hint of a spiritual splendor to come. The pilgrims continue to endure extreme mental disorientation, a breakdown of the time space continuum, and the repeated shattering and reassembling of consciousness before they finally reach their goal. The recording closes with a rejoicing populace escorting the newcomers triumphantly through the great gates of Sh'ang Sh'ung. While the purity of tone and long haunting echoes of the Tibetan bells remain central to the artists' vision, The Bells of Sh'ang Sh'ung makes use of other instruments, both Eastern and Western. The synthesizer, long considered the natural electronic counterpart to the magic resonance of the bells, adds additional depth and atmosphere to this ambitious venture. Consistent with previous Tibetan bells recordings, the studio itself is exploited as an ultra modern instrument in its own right.Customer Reviews:
