Thematically a follow-up to Real Music's 2003 album Namaste, the Honoring CD features a line-up of Asian-influenced artists whose music leans toward the therapeutic side. Featuring a list of artists that includes Choying Drolma (with Steve Tibbetts), Deva Premal, Nawang Khechog, Buedi Siebert, Karunesh and more, the Honoring compilation provides an hour of gentle, meditative music designed to work with yoga and healing practices. One highlight of the Honoring CD is Drolma's "Chendren," a haunting piece of music that showcases the fragile beauty of Drolma's singing. Another is Karunesh's "Ancient Voices," a reflective instrumental piece with a hint of Indian mysticism. As a bonus, the Honoring compilation is packaged with a second disc that offers a 16 minute meditation from Terence Yallop. Enjoy!-

• The Honoring CD plus the bonus disc with the meditation is a great combo and makes a terrific gift.
• The Honoriing compilation offers you a full meal - soup to nuts.
