I bought these (both CD's) simply to play while reading the Aubrey series. Did it help...yes! I not only enjoyed having the music in the background, it put me more in the mood. The music was great. The series, even more awesome knowing the Doc and the Captain might be playing while I was reading...

The Black Madonna

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
from: Naxos

Release Date May 26, 1998
Just the title of this CD, THE BLACK MADONNA Pilgrim Songs from the Monastery of Montserrat (1400-1420) is timely, given the current interest in Gnostic scriptures, Mary Magdalene, the Cathars and the Knights Templar.

The image of Montserrat's particular Black Madonna is believed by some to be a hidden representation of Mary Magdalene, who is supposed to have fled to (what we now call) France, where she bore the child of her husband/lover Jesus. A few people (myself included) have formulated a connection between the ancient Egyptian Mother Goddess Isis, the Gnostic Sophia, the Christian Virgin Mary, and (also Gnostic) Mary Magdalene.

Music For The Mozart Effect, Volume 5, Relax & Unwind

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
from: Spring Hill

Release Date October 24, 2000

Actionable Offenses: Indecent Phonograph Recordings from the 1890s

CD-Charts > Music > Compilations
from: Archeophone Records

Release Date May 16, 2007
This CD is a really interesting bridge across time. Since the recordings weren't made for wide public release, there's a sense of mischief and getting away with something that is rare in artifacts from this time period. I'm grateful that technology has made such interesting bits of history available to anyone.
