Intentionally Blank (OP) User ID: 1264301 United Kingdom 02/13/2011 01:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks a lot -- much appreciated -- bookmarked for ongoing enjoyment :) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1264583You're very welcome. To all of you who have responded - your interest means so much to me. I've spent decades wondering if I was the only person left who was interested in this. I have listened to this music since I was three, when my father sat me on his knee when he came home from work in the evenings and played me album after album. It had a tremendous impact on my life, who I am. It's been very sad thinking I was the last one left who appreciated such things. Thank you - all of you - for the realisation that there are still others out there who appreciate music which reaches out to our very soul. We are united in music. |

I tried to do something similar years ago: Quoting: emerald_glowThread: Folklore With not much of a success...I am glad that times changing, and people discover their roots, while realizing how much we are alike in all corners of the Earth. Thank you for blazing the trail for this thread! I hadn't seen it before. I also feared this one would die before it even started. Nice to know there's a few of us out there keeping the flame burning bright. Been on this all day today... have to spend time with my family now... but please, feel free to join in... In music we are united. |

I really loved the 'Salve Regina' from the Ensemble Organum / Les Chant des Templiers CD, and ordered it this morning. What is it about us Humans, that makes us want to trance out? When we truly surrender to trance out activities, it turns off the part of our brains that engages in critical thinking. It seems like we need to do this now and then, all throughout history, in every culture; seems like we evolved this way. What's going on? |

So-called "altered states" of consciousness are fundamental to the development of human societies and, most probably, biological evolution as well. The real question we should be asking is: WHO DOESN'T want us to "trance out" now and why??? Last Edited by Least Servant on 02/13/2011 08:55 PM :romaflag: Not enough to fight, too many to die. |
Intentionally Blank (OP) User ID: 1265846 United Kingdom 02/14/2011 06:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I thought I'd add a couple more tracks which might help me relax a bit. The following two tracks are from master kora players, Toumani Diabate and Ballake Sissoko, both members of the West African 'Griot' musician/storyteller/genealogist caste. The Diabate clan can trace their ancesters back 800 years. In the past, certain Griot musicians were known to use their music to heal, wandering the land and singing special songs that addressed the soul of any afflicted person they encountered... The sweet, blissful smile Diabate has when playing this beautiful harp-like instrument gives you an idea of how that might be possible...
