Title: Unmitigated Listening Pleasure
Review: Quoting from the liner notes: "Gamelan Pacifica is a professional ensemble in residence at the Cornish College of Arts in Seattle. Inspired by the gong/chime orchestras of Java and Bali (collectively known as gamelan), the ensemble performs new and innovative music in an international style ..." To my western ears, traditional gamelan music is enjoyable, but a little goes a long way. Trance Gong contains music that has more stylistic and sonic variety than traditional gamelan, however, and the net result is an hour of unmitigated pleasure for the listener.
