Review

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 DilibertoThis 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.
