Earth Mantra - The Hundredth Mantra (includes promo video)

[Altus]

Welcome to Earth Mantra Netlabel's one hundredth release. To celebrate this milestone, we decided early on that this album should be a compilation of the artists who made up the previous ninety-nine releases.

Little did we realize how many of our artists would want to contribute and how excellent the music would be. As a result, this release has grown to encompass four full discs of sublime ambience, with more than four hours of music end to end. We're very proud of the result.

Special thanks to all of the artists for their contributions, both to this compilation, to Earth Mantra, as well as to the ambient community at large. Your generosity helps make the ambient world a better place, and Earth Mantra simply could not exist without you.

Finally, we would like to thank our listeners, without whom there would literally be no point. We sincerely hope that you have enjoyed the first one hundred mantras, and we look forward to many, many more.

Pretty good looking lineup there!  Thank you for pointing this out.  You seem to have a lot of Buddhist videos on your channel.  What do you practice, if anything?

  Woo-Hoo 

I am very proud to be involved with this compilation and with Earth Mantra!

Wonderful group of musicians and music!

Stunning video Altus! I love time lapse photography!

Thanks Shane.

Judd, those Buddhist links that come up at the end are YouTube's doing.  I don't have any control over it.  I think they're based on the tags I put in, and the words "earth" and "mantra" are likely what's causing it. 

Oh, and I don't practice any religion or beliefs... although a lot of people who know me say I'd make a good Buddhist.
