I wish I had paid attention to the other review on this page before acquiring this CD. I don't know how this CD got released, the monks on their own sound alright but the combo with Shalamut just does not work and her voice is predominant through the CD. I have no doubt the intentions were good and of the highest, but the results are not pleasing to listen to as her voice wavers and does not sound harmonious. Regretfully I have to give this CD a big thumbs down. If anyone does enjoy this CD I would really like to hear why.
