Tum-mo
1,241 plays
13:00
Genre: Abstract
Album: unreleased

A yogi practises tummo, the yoga of inner heat. As the Seventh Dalai Lama wrote:
"Vital energies generated by inner or outer means are drawn into one's central channel, causing the mystic fires to blaze....... The letters AH and HAM flare, fall and vibrate,
transporting one to the end of the primordial path of insight and Great Bliss. Lights from the mystic fire flash into a hundred directions, summoning the blessings of Buddhas boundless as space."

Cross Section Of Last Scattering
"That's very cool, has a nice ethereal flavor that reinds me of a dreamworld where the inhabitants have too many legs and not enough eyes. I like it very much and loved every second of it. "

Cross Section Of Last Scattering
"A very mellow and smokable walk in the moonlit valley. The scatterings come and go as they do this time of year. One must be very, very heedful of the surroundings lest they scatter forever. Well done Don."
-- davefuglewicz (on 04/01/09 06:04:35)

Cross Section Of Last Scattering
"Abstract perhaps, but the visual artwork that this fine bit of sonic molding inspired me to create is more surreal than unreal. I'm smiling in my Kansas City garret, thanks Maestro Campau."

Bootstrap Theory
"Pick me up by my bootstraps & spin me around senor Don. What a excellent slice of abstract music here. Awesome mix that interwines & evolves constantly. Great stuff Don!"
-- Mental Anguish (on 04/20/08 07:42:00)

Bootstrap Theory
"Pano Rama Pano Pano Hare Pano Hare Hare Hare Rama Pano Pano PANORAMA YEAH YEAH YEAH. Where did it all begin? Where does it go next? My train ticket is punched for CzechoNepalia, via the Trance Zephyr Chemical Spillway. Engineer Don carry me home!"
