    [ I am only going to point you to this site, and let it speak for itself when you visit it:

    liturgica.com ]

    I in fact collect (Eastern Orthodox) chant, whether it be Byzantine, Arabic, Russian or otherwise. I do have a few Gregorian chant cds but they have been tried and found wanting compared to most of the Eastern Christian chant I have heard(in person or recorded). My favourite album is called "The Athos of the North" chanted by the monastic choir of the Valaam Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour.

    I only own two cds :(

    A compilation called "Gregorian Chant", and

    "Tibetan Mantras & Chants" by the Buddhist Monks of Maitri Vihar Monastery

    I am watching this question for more stuff to buy.

    I have a cd that an online chatmate burned for me of real Buddhist monks chanting (well, it sounds more like a humming sound) together. Relaxes me. I have no idea where he got it, he is from Packistan, but he made it because I am an insomniac and he thought it would help. Yay, chatmates.

    As much as I enjoy listening to Gregorian Chant, I prefer to sing it with a schola. (I also enjoy chanting Divine Office in Choir)

    my highschool music teacher made us listen to a gregorian song, i forgot the album title. It kind of scared me.

    I do have some, but I'm not too sure of the name of the album.

    I do love one particular album Canticles of Ecstasy by Hildegard von Bingen....
