Nada Terma merges the boundaries of ambient, world music and sacred-meditative styles. On Nada Terma (translated as discovering spiritual treasures through the world of sound ) East Indian tonalities blend with Sufi-like trance percussion immersed in atmospheres, drifts and drones, arriving at a state of relaxed, focused awareness. The continuously-woven 73-minute piece is sequenced into seven discrete segments, perfect for yoga, contemplation and bodywork.Following upon the groundbreaking work of 2006 s Mantram, Nada Terma is the second Projekt collaboration between Arizona s Steve Roach and Byron Metcalf with Germany s Mark Seelig. On Nada Terma they reach deeper into the mystical / spiritual realm, presenting a blend of diverse worlds skillfully combined in an organic fashion. Deep-trance frame drums, clay pots and percussion meet with harmonic overtone vocals (akin to Tuvan throat singers) and the yearning sounds of the stringed Indian Dilruba, and East Indian bansuri flute, bringing a melodic and spiritual-contemplative highlight to the release. All of this exists within an enigmatic world of shadow and shifting light developed by way of artful enhancements and processing of the acoustic instruments. These complements are part of a constant, slowly breathing subtext of drones and atmospheres in which the entire experience lives. Nada Terma will appeal to any listener looking for extended states of awareness, creative enhancement, yoga, bodywork, and deep listening. |
Percussionist Martin Franklin from Tuu teams up with flautist Nick Parkin for this intriguing recording, which gives the now-familiar old-instruments-and-new- electronics combination a new twist. It's not so much that the combination of instruments is unusual--synthesizers and samplers, an arsenal of percussion that includes water drums and clay pots, and Parkin's various flutes--but how they're used. Layered over atmospheric, often spooky (without delving into horror-movie-soundtrack schtick) sounds, percussion, and flute take the forefront. The electronic processing done on these instruments doesn't make them sound artificial; instead, it reinforces what makes the instruments unique, so that the sustained bell sounds on "Djinn" and the layered flute sounds on "Water Memory" sound natural even though the listener can tell they've been altered. There's an east Asian feel to this recording, particularly on "Magus" (which reminds one of the music for an Akira Kurosawa film; Rashomon, perhaps) and on "Serpent Fire," which is reminiscent of nothing so much as field recordings of Tibetan Buddhist ceremonies. --Genevieve WilliamsTags : Terma

This outstanding set of six episodes from the fourth (1996) season of The X-Files offers an equal balance of superior stand-alone stories and intricate chapters of the show's ongoing conspiracy "mythology," providing viewers with an opportunity to savor consistently excellent writing and direction. The primary reason to own this set is the inclusion of "Home," an episode so unsettling that it was banned from Fox-TV after just one network broadcast (thus making it the most cherished episode for collectors). But the good news here is that all of these episodes are equally outstanding, representing the series cast and crew at their seasoned best, when the show had fully settled into the tantalizing complexities of its overall structure (most evident here in the related episodes "Herrenvolk," "Tunguska," and "Terma"). These shows also give David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson some of their finest moments, both dramatic and deliciously sarcastic, as the Scully-Mulder dynamic reaches its most satisfying level of comfort and teasing ambiguity. From deeply disturbing plots to the brand of offbeat levity that gives the show its unique appeal, these six episodes reveal the series at peak maturity, willing and able to push the limits of terror as never before seen on television. Certainly not for every taste (since they're sure to prove unsettling for the uninitiated viewer), but for die-hard X-philes, this is arguably the finest boxed set available. --Jeff Shannon |
This pair of fourth-season episodes represent The X-Files at its most intriguing, with plots that are intricately connected to the series' complex mythology, as well as the first X-Files theatrical movie. In other words, only loyal fans of the series will fully comprehend these episodes as pieces of a much larger puzzle. Continuing the story arc of the earlier episode "Herrenvolk," "Tunguska" (a title reference to the Siberian site of a historic meteor crash in 1908) introduces the dreaded "black oil" that is released in wormlike drops from a mysterious rock that falls into the possession of agents Scully and Mulder. While Scully studies the rock, the oil, and its deadly effect on humans, Mulder travels to Tunguska with the duplicitous Agent Krycek in tow, seeking the origin of the strange and lethal rock, and possible clues about the conspiracy that cost the lives of Mulder's father and Scully's sister. Captured and imprisoned in a gulag labor camp, Mulder is injected with a drug that renders him unconscious. He wakes, trapped under restraining chicken wire, just in time to see the black oil being dropped onto him from a tap overhead--a horrifying situation that provides the episode's cliffhanger ending. The story continues in "Terma," in which a Russian assassin is coaxed out of retirement to eliminate anyone who might reveal the secrets of the deadly "black cancer" oil that seeps from the mysterious meteor sample introduced in "Tunguska." While Scully protects Mulder by refusing to divulge his whereabouts to a Senate subcommittee (thus endangering her career), Mulder races to retrieve the rock as evidence that will exonerate both him and Scully in the hearing. His efforts are in vain, however, and as the Russian assassin destroys the rock and returns to Russia, Cigarette-Smoking Man destroys Scully's papers on the toxic effects of the black oil. Scully and Mulder's threatening investigation is closed down, and the ongoing conspiracy is maintained. In these two episodes (both cowritten by series creator Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz), the story arc of the X-Files conspiracy is at its most ominous and deadly, and the atmosphere of both episodes is richly conveyed through modern film noir style. Although they're confounding when viewed out of the context of the series as a whole, they're impressive minimovies that will instantly draw the viewer into their spooky sphere of influence. With these two episodes (first broadcast in November and December 1996), The X-Files set the foundation for the feature film that would follow some 18 months later. --Jeff Shannon |

In all religions, sacred texts and objects have appeared miraculously. Among the most remarkable of these revelatory traditions is the terma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Termas herald a fresh opportunity for the renewal of spiritual practice. Here Tulku Thondup Rinpoche tells the story of the terma tradition initiated by Padmasambhava, the ninth-century saint who established Buddhism in Tibet. |
Being Guru Rinpoche is a translation of a Tibetan ritual text in the Nyingmapa tradition, with commentary. The original is a 'terma' or hidden treasure of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), discovered in the nineteenth century by Nuden Dorje, revealed publicly by Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche in the early 1980s.
The transformative process of tantric meditation is illustrated here through the interplay of a traditional ritual text with a modern commentary. This profound method evokes not just an improvement in one's personal qualities but also a fundamental shift in the way one experiences oneself in the world with others. Through symbolic and actual identification with the pure form of Guru Rinpoche, also known as Padmasambhava, we are freed from the hooks of our familiar assumptions and habitual activities. Just as a holiday can take us out of ourselves and lets us see our lives with fresh eyes, so the practice which this book presents, offers us an opportunity to look at ourselves anew, revealing the infinite in the ordinary.
The commentary provides background information contextualizing the practice in relation to Indian culture, Buddhist philosophy and the complexity of modern culture. It shows how the profundity of the Buddhist view is brought into lived experience through opening to the drama of aesthetic engagement. |
