Top Quality Gong CD or MP3 Download Available......... (afraid this would happen)

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

I remember, many years ago, the 'purist' argument that CD did not

compare to Vinyl or the original media on which sessions were recorded,

analogue magnetic tape. That is still true.

What I liked about CD, the, was there was no 'noise', hiss, pops or

scratches. The problem was/is the warmth is missing. That is what

happens when all of these rich sound vibrations are reduced to the

binary system of 1s and 0s, which is square waveform, either ON or OFF.

Regarding Gong, 'Live' is best. There is no question about that.

There is a difference between the purely cognitive (cerebral)

engagement, and engagement at the emotional (limbic) level. The limbic

brain is our "animal". It is the primitive leftover which responds to

threat or danger (missing the snap of a twig can mean death). The only

senses which connect directly to the limbic brain are the olfactory

(smell) and auditory (hearing).

It is important to activate the emotional response in order to obtain

the complete experience of the music, and in this case, the sound

current of the Gong. I've had people experience deep healings,

chakra alignment, memories of past lives, etc.

A tape or CD over a good system can be effective, even though some

would argue that you've already lost as much as 80% of the

'information', depending on the audio system.

You be surprised what it might take (

http://www.highemotionaudio.com ) to hear from a CD what was originally

played. Unless you are prepared to spend a lot, the best one can get from CD recorded media or

tape is a level of

relaxation or better sleep, depending on the recording - good, but

nothing transcendental.

 

The mp3 format, at it's highest

quality (320kbps) is 1/10 the quality of CD!

 

Short answer.... If you can taste the difference between NY thin crust

and Chicago deep dish,

buy a gong or buy the CD (with at least a decent system). Don't mess

with the mp3.

 

Blessings,
