We put a lot of effort into making these albums of high sound quality, with all the musical and technical nuances. The MP3 download format gives a bleak and faded version of that work, and the lossless formats are still difficult to download and put in use for many. We would really like you to have the best sound available, and offer free shipping of CD's to prove it.     Visit the webshop to read more

Free Music Review: Beautiful and healing mantra-music

Hit: 5 Stars
Where more popular artists in the mantra-world rely on a rather watered down and sugary presentation of these ancient sounds, Sonia Loinsworth makes them western and yet preserves all the depth and healing power.

This norwegian singer and practising buddhist has a deep and rich voice, well schooled technically and sings with both passion and a spirituality that transfers to the listener. She uses multitracked vocals, sounding like a whole monasrty! backed by inventive keyboards by Frode Fjellheim.

I have used this CD a couple of years for meditation and healing purposes and it's as enriching and profound today as the first time I heard it.

Many people have asked me about the concert clip from the Cathedral of Nidaros (you can view it to the right on this website), and I would like to share this story with you.
When the TSUNAMI hit Southern Asia on Dec. 26th 2004, many norwegians were affected by it. Many experienced a strongly traumatic day that turned into weeks and months, when their beloved ones never returned from the raging waters of the holiday paradise of Thailand.
