Enchanted: The Best of Robert Gass & on Wings of Song

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Since the 1980s, arranger and producer Robert Gass and heavenly chorale group On Wings of Song have created music to blissfully space out to. A compilation of the best tracks from their second decade of collaboration, Enchanted highlights the peaceful sounds of the chorale performing Gregorian, Native American, and Hindu chants with very subtle accompaniment from harp, hand percussion, flute, and acoustic guitar. Ironically the standout piece, "Beyond the Beyond (Heart of Perfect Wisdom)," focuses on Tibetan-style overtone chanting, the droning vocals representing a sharp but welcome contrast to the other songs. The inclusion of harp, guitar, flute, and bells on this track is as surreptitious as anywhere on the album, tastefully adding flavor to a beguiling soundscape. Some listeners may find the delicate songs on Enchanted to be a little too homogenous in terms of dynamics and atmosphere, but they can provide soothing sanctuary when needed. --Bryan Reesman

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2007-05-09

This man is a genius. I have listened this album hundreds of times and I still don't get bored...Amazing work Robert, thanks.

5 out of 5 stars Great Baby (& Mom!) Soother.......2006-01-17

I'm not normally a huge "new age/new thought" music fan, but this album is incredibly soothing & beautiful. My Mom & I would play this during my son's naptime so he'd lay down to sleep. When he got old enough to talk, he would ask for "the angels that sing" CD. To that point, we'd never mentioned the word "angels" to him, so it's interesting that he equated the singing w/angels.
I appreciate the diverse origins of the music. I now own 2 copies of the CD "just in case" I lose one! Don't want to be without it, even for a day.

5 out of 5 stars IS IT POSSIBLE TO WEAR OUT A CD??!!?.......2004-01-09

This album is amazing! My favorite three tracks on this album:

1. Alleluia
2. Kyrie
3. Om Namaha Shivaya

I would have paid the price of this CD for each of the three tracks. Therefore this CD is a real bargain!! I would also recommend the Bliss cd (om namaha shivaya II)

5 out of 5 stars Sisters In Song.......2003-08-11

When I first heard the second track on this cd- titled, The Center of My Life, I began to cry from the beauty of it. I felt it directly in the heart chakra. I reach for this cd time and time again. It is simply from the heart and channelled from GOD.
There is so much peace from listening to it.

5 out of 5 stars awesome.......2001-10-01

I plan on buying at least one more copy of this in case anything happens to the first one. This is a perfect album for meditation or just to soothe your stress. It truly reaches you at a soul level. Do not hesitate to buy this CD, you will reach for it over and over.
