Before Tibet (or general area of Tibet) adopted Buddhism there used to be a wide array of pagan beliefs. Bon is supposedly one of those religions but it also has many other meanings. You are free to read about it here.
This album recreates music of those traditions. Buddhist or not this Bon tradition music is similar (or even exact) to the usual Buddhist chants with the exception of percussion that mark ends and beginnings of chants.
The music was done or orchestrated by Alexey Tegin who is from Russia. I don't really have a lot of information about this release so I'm not sure if he did this or if he recorded this in some monastery or if he used some kind of orchestra for this. Whatever the case may be the music is still pretty much awesome. You can expect all the usual sounds that are present in Tibetan music. Lots of droning, throat singing and deep thunderous trumpets.
