- A moment of peace
I first saw Gregorian on a late night add show, the ones that run really late on free to air. I have always been interested in alternative music so I thought that it might be good to have a listen to it, then went to bed and promply forgot about it. Several years go bye and not a peep then I walk into a local music shop and see it half falling out of the rack. Remebering the night from years before I bought it, you know, just for a laugh. When I put it in, turned it on and the first track played ... Read More

- The Sounds of Silence - Don't Buy This CD
Unless you have a traditional CD player, do not buy this CD. In some fashion beyond my ken, it will not operate in a computer-based CD driver (which is all I have these days), which renders this disc completely useless to me. In the small, tiny print on the back, there's a notice to this effect, but that does little good to someone purchasing the CD on-line, sight unseen. Amazon should yank this product from their offerings, or at least have a nice 14-point Red lettered warning that this disc is ... Read More

- Masters of Chant
There are 4 CD's to date produced by this group. To call the CD Chant is misleading to anyone not Having heard one their CD's before. All the melodys are popular and enjoyable to hear. The accompanyment is excellent and the singing performed in a slow manner - which is assumed to be the Chant. The total effect is very pleasing and I am sure would be enjoyed by a wider range of audience - if they realized that it is not dull liturgical music of a bygone era.

- Masters of Chant Chapt. II:Gregorian
I found the soothing harmonies and lush musicianship of the CD quite relaxing. I found it stimulating in a contemplative manner, stirring rich emotions and thoughts. I have bought other CDs by this group, and will buy more--as time goes by.

- I would love to listen to it, but ...
... note the warning (which I didn't spot) that the disc is copy-protected. On the disc cover itself it notes that it cannot be played on a computer -- meaning no ripping the music to your PC (to listen to yourself) or to your MP3 player (to listen to yourself). Which makes its utility almost nil.

If you're only going to listen to this on a CD player, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, you're out of luck.
