The stunning polyphonics of Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares are here showcased on a relatively newer album from the world supergroup. In general, the songs are relatively short (though there are a good number of them comprising the album). There are also ample instrumental passages sprinkled here and there throughout the album; something of a surprise in an album from a group known solely for their vocal abilities. Also, there are a couple of male vocalists thrown in for good measure on a few tracks. One of the more interesting features of this album is the decision to provide a rendition of a trio of Sephardic Jewish songs. The group overcomes any language differences with relatively little difficulty and creates more or less the proper mood for the songs before they're done. Aside from this cultural excursion, the bulk of the songs sound vaguely similar to one another. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but should be noted nonetheless. Parallels to Gregorian chant can be noted in some pieces, and parallels to other traditions in others. The real treat of the album throughout, however, is the sheer vocal texture provided by the women of the choir. This is the reason to listen to the group, and this is the reason to give the album a try. ~ Adam Greenberg, Rovi
