General comments:
"A sonic geography" describes this music well--it seems to be clearly describing its own world in its own language. Mostly lyrical and harmonic, there are few discordant moments. Perhaps this is postmodern vocal music--whatever it is, it is compelling and beautiful and strange. (Neile)

Comments:
Perhaps this is an album of speaking in tongues. Experimental without seeming pretentious. Seems more centered than most experimental music--each piece is more of a piece, and the idea seems more to enchant listeners than scare or shock them. This definitely enchants me. (Neile)
