Life Space Death is an exciting set of music and wisdom from Bill Laswell, Toshinori Kondo and His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. Laswell and Kondo provide the music. The Dalai Lama provides the wisdom through spoken word messages. The messages are about peace, love, serenity, compassion, kindness, acceptance, and any number of hopeful and desirable traits. Laswell and Kondo provide a gentle background with processed sounds and gentle atmospheres. Smooth rhythms accompany the Dalai Lama's words. The instrumental passages are deep and hopeful space music. The spoken messages are printed on the inlay card. This is an essential learning and meditation CD. ~ Jim Brenholts

This collaboration between trumpeter Toshinori Kondo and bassist/producer Bill Laswell is an interesting fusion of the spiritual and the musical that ends up being more interesting musically than spiritually. The first three of its four long and untitled tracks consist of rich ambient atmospheres created by Laswell and Kondo, into which are woven recorded excerpts of speeches by the Dalai Lama on the subjects of life, space, and death. The "Life" and "Death" tracks both feature Laswell's typically melodic and funky basslines bumping along under Kondo's sometimes-heavily treated trumpet lines; the "Space" track is arrhythmic but no less lovely. The problem with these three tracks is not the music, but the spoken-word content, which tends toward inarguable banalities like "Time is always moving" and "As human beings, this planet is our only home." Surely the recorded archives of the Dalai Lama could have yielded more enlightening tidbits than these. The album's final and longest track consists of 14 minutes of instrumental ambience so gauzily insubstantial as to be almost inaudible. Not bad stuff, but hardly essential. ~ Rick Anderson

Producer/bassist Bill Laswell and trumpeter/electronic manipulator Toshinori Kondo continue their fertile, creative collaboration as they join forces with guitarist Eraldo Bernocchi and His Holiness The Dalai Lama on vocals. Here on "L.S.D.," the Dalai L

Mahavishnu Orchestra Mahavishnu CD  (1984)

Life Space Death album
CD $12.39  3.6 stars
John McLaughlin resurrected the esteemed old Mahavishnu Orchestra for his mid-'80s quintet, even getting old mate Billy Cobham to fill the drum slot on the band's first album. But this is an entirely different conception than any of the '70s Mahavishnu outfits. The sound is cooler, less strident, more thoroughly dominated by advanced electronic textures -- including a sleekly elegant digital guitar played through a Synclavier. Instead of a violin, Bill Evans contributes some swirling and sometimes bop-flavored work on saxes, and McLaughlin gets mobile but not overly combustible support from keyboardist Mitch Forman ...

Eraldo Bernocchi Charged Live CD  (2002)

Life Space Death CD music
CD $13.89  Audio Samples
As well played as it is, and as able as the musicians are, there is something almost undeniably grating about the music contained on the six tracks of Charged Live. There are a few things it might be pinned to. One is the instrumentalists' color choices. Nearly all of them compete for a scratchy midrange that practically thrusts out of the speakers. Unfortunately, in the bargain, nearly all of the instruments are subsumed into a sonic mass (on headphones, however, the specifics of the noisy jungle are nicely discernible). Though they seem to be committed to developing the project as electro-acoustic music, they fail to define their own sense of musical place. Bits of grooves and rhythms and drones seem to hint at some idea of continuity, but somehow no obvious musical ideas seem to get developed for any ...
