Phurpa is the phenomenal musical collective from Moscow, founded by Alexey Tagin exploring authentic ancient ritual music of Bon, the pre-Buddhist tradition from Tibet. This album proves another ultimate sacral embodiment of their thoroughgoing performances grounded on genuine Bon tradition theoretically and practically, and yet reinterpret solemnly and unambiguously, with 5 chapters of title track "Wal Phur Nag Po" and also the keynote of their programme "Mu Ye". Playing traditional Tibetan ritual instruments including human bones found in Tibetan wastelands and their trademarked tantric overtone chanting, ycleped Rgyud-skad, penetrating beyond emptiness. A pragmatic Terma and the continuous result with genuine industrial stole.
