Mantras adapted by Boris Grebenshikov

Even if you can't tell a lama from a llama, you can still enjoy Boris Grebenshikov's adaptations of traditional Tibetan chants
with Gabrielle Roth and The Mirrors. Vocals are accompanied by synthesizer, drum kit, viola, symbols, etc. My current favorites from the 1998 Refuge album are Tara Mantra and Vajra Guru.  A phonetic guide to the twelve syllables of the Vajra Guru Mantra is available here.  Those who are not familiar with Gabrielle Roth and The Mirrors can check out Jack Donen's review.  

After you have maxed out on chants, you might want to hear some of the Real Audio cuts  from Grebenshikov's Lilith album. Never having heard Russian rock before, I would welcome your opinion  about how well the words go with the music.
