This set is a real feat. I feel like a better person after spending time with it. If you’re a physical media purist on the fence about paying for a download that part of you wishes was an LP box set, just do it. I don’t know what I expected of this PDF, but it’s amazingly detailed and lovingly, expertly researched with flawless graphic design. Jonathan Ward is a hero. Give him your money.

You don't even need to read the info to know they are singing of peace and love energy. this is such pure music -- not in a fetishization of ethnic music kinda way. it's so clear that this all resonates from a heart center. the recordings are raw and encapsulate sitting literally anywhere except a recording studio making music. love this to pieces.
