Music for Yoga? The ironic thing about this 15 song disc is that only one of them, “A Prayer to Dispel Sickness and Harms,” was recorded anywhere near local Hindus (in Tibet). Otherwise, what you get is a European and American distillation through “Reflections,” “Floating Sweetness,” and “Tiny Island” of what Eastern religions SHOULD sound and act like. After spending two trips as a medical missionary in India, I can honestly attest that this music is NOT representative of the implications of worshipping 12 million gods, unless the cd includes a perfume of human and animal filth, mixed with toxic air pollution. The worldview that brought us Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos would be a better remedy for the Third World, as well as our own.
