Title: new age without the commercial hype
Product review: I first became acquainted with the music of Stephan Micus about ten years ago and now own all of his U.S.-released titles. Not every cut on every cd grabs me, but every cd contains at least two or three pieces that are indescribably honest and penetrating. This one has two--the longest pieces--that wash along with stunning tranquility and peace. Micus plays a large number of conventional and esoteric folk instruments, and sings (occasionally) in a language of non-words (a la Lisa Gerard) that adds further exoticism to the vaguely Asiatic-sounding mix.
