people make fun of the internet generation but i just learned that my parents\u2019 gregorian chant collection that i found when i was younger was NOT just a\u00a0\u2018my parents are weird\u2019 thing but actually a society-wide thing where everyone listened to gregorian chants for a couple of months. people don\u2019t change we just now have a location to channel our weird shit.

\n

around what year was that? that\u2019s really weird and super interesting and i need more information.

1994. enigma slaps and i refuse to feel shame for the chants cd i bought back then.

\n
\n

can confirm, i also bought a gregorian chant CD in or around 1994. it was just A Thing people got into briefly.

\n\n\n

Yeah, that was kinda weird in retrospect. @kontextmaschine or anyone else, you know anything about that?

The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos released a decades-old collection of recordings as the album Chant in 1994 and it did huge numbers (I had it!) so people tried riding that wave for a bit, buying up recordings cheap from people who had already been doing it for religious reasons and releasing them
