The West became aware of the wonderful Bulgarian female choirs through La Mystere des Voix Bulgaires. This is, perhaps, the next step. Produced by former Roxy Music keyboard player Eddie Jobson, this explores the unique harmonies and overtone singing of the voices. In many ways, the singers represent the crossroads between West and East and between ancient and modern in a music that often seems timeless, especially on tracks like "Jano, Hubavo Jano," with its variant pitch intonation. But this isn't just folk music; a lot of the pieces come from contemporary classical composers, like Ivan Spassov's "Mechmetio," with its startling dissonances that work beautifully. Jobson himself has three tracks on the album (much of which was recorded in European cathedrals), with "Utopia" featuring the only non-vocal instrumentation on the record -- Jobson's violin and Tony Levin's Chapman stick. But understandably, this is about the voices and the way the human voice can sound. There's an eerie, staggering beauty about the singing, whether in the folk or classical material that pulls the listener into another, less-familiar world and makes this music a universal of human emotion. ~ Chris Nickson, Rovi
