Further fueling the huge general demand is Chant's use in the smash-hit computer game Halo - this is chant for a new computer-gaming generation. One of the earliest known forms of music dating from the early Middle Ages, Gregorian chant was popularized by Enigma and the Benedictine Monks of Silos in the early and mid-1990s. Its hauntingly simple and hypnotic sound has attracted many followers, and Universal is determined to find the real masters of this music to perform a 21st Century version.

 A place to take your meditation August 10, 2008
Brenda Kane (Vancouver, Canada)
This CD is beautiful and gives one a sense of timelessness. A great way to accompany meditation. A perfect accompaniment to creativity. Visions of nature, and of course great halls and cathedrals with those haunting acoustics! What a treasure.

just not what u'd expect, made purely for compensation with no effort or quality behind the product. choose another if u really love the real chants.
Sublime August 3, 2008

I've been interested in Gregorian chant for at least 35 years. Over the years, I have recordings of the chant on cassette & a couple on CD, but this is by far the best. I purchased it on the the strength of an article in the New York Times in late June/early July about the monastery and the recording of some of their daily chant that they had agreed to do; I almost never purchase things on the strength of the recommendation in an article/review. Clearly, the article was persuasive. This the most supple, sublime performance of Gregorian chant I have ever heard. I am not Catholic, but rather a Lutheran, while at the same time being a student of yoga. This recording speaks to the need to die to oneself in the praise of the Divine as recommended in Protestant Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions. I would recommend this to anyone interested in an auditory representation of humanity's desire to connect with the Divine, especially someone looking for something that would aid devotion or meditation. This recording is utterly beautiful and conducive to facilitating an individual's pursuit of the Divine, notwithstanding my own less than perfect understanding of the Latin used in the chant.
Chant: Music For The Soul August 1, 2008
Thom W. Cunningham (South Orange, N.J.)
This CD is a tool to help anyone begin to understand the power of beautifully performed music---The honesty and simplicity of the chants allow enough space to let God be in you.
 good sampling of Gregorian chant August 1, 2008

I don't care much for the Teutonic pronunciation of the Latin, but the musicality of these monks is quite good and makes for a prayerful collection of chants.
