Album Description
Two CD set. Songs for Tibet - The Art of Peace Music Project. Proceeds that the Art Of Peace Foundation receives goes to peace related projects. As a show of solidarity with the Dalai Lama and Tibet, 20 artists have come together to release this historic double album on the eve of the Beijing Olympics. These recordings - some original for the project and some acoustically driven recordings of previously released songs - express our common vulnerabilities and experiences in pursuing happiness, peace and freedom. Collectively, these tracks represent a heartfelt message of support for the path of compassion and non-violence championed by the Dalai Lama. Begun in May of 2008 and completed in two months, the outpouring of support from all corners of the world was unparalleled. Funds raised from the album will go to support peace initiatives and Tibetan cultural preservation projects important to the Dalai Lama.

 Very interesting September 24, 2008

I think this is a very interesting compilation CD, and the most important matter (at least for me) is the help that my purchase may provide to the Tibet cause.
Hope some more people could enjoy it.

Twenty popular artists have contributed a track to this double album CD.
Included is a 14inch x 14inch poster of the cover art. Lyrics are not part of this package.
The background for this project called The Art of Peace was obtained from the link listed on the CD. It is as follows:
"Over the last 50 years, Tibetan culture has fed a spiritual renaissance in the West. The Dalai Lama's universal message of compassion, tolerance, non-violence and self-awareness, has become a profound spiritual source of inspiration for countless millions of people worldwide.
In 1950, the Chinese invaded Tibet and the Dalai Lama fled in exile to India shortly thereafter. Since then, the Chinese government has systematically suppressed Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan culture.
Recently, the Chinese government has embarked on a Han Chinese resettlement program within Tibet. Several million Han Chinese have been moved to Tibet. Tibetans are becoming an ethnic and cultural minority in their own land.
As this tragedy unfolds, the global economic and political might of the Chinese government continues to grow. Even the most powerful nations are hesitant to confront the Chinese meaningfully on human rights issues.
This a critical point in history with the potential loss of one of the world's great cultural treasures. The world's current focus on China may be the last opportunity that Tibet's plea for autonomy and freedom of expression to be heard on the world stage."
Current focus referred to in the sentence above is the Beijing 2008 Olympics. This album was released just before they began.
I would have bought this CD even if it didn't benefit anyone, the variety of the music and musicians is simply fabulous. Well worth the price.
 Really great album August 13, 2008

This is a really great album for an even better cause. My personal favorite is the opening track "Hide and Seek 2" by Imogen Heap. I've listened to it a half dozen times already and it gives me goosebumps every time. The Alanis Morissette, John Mayer, Garbage, and Duncan Sheik songs are also standouts.
