be warned, this release is VERY subtle and minimal, a glacial beating heart
mantra with some cool but very subdued stuff going on in the background of
the chanting pulse.

even the liner  notes describe the piece as "sounds to listen by" , not
"music to listen to".

quality stuff, but definitely way ambient, and nothing like any of jake's
other releases to date.

should be a pretty cool set of 12 once they're all out, but you may have to
listen to 'healing' several times to convince yourself it's not repetitive.

peeeeeece,
