Tuvan music is one of the most unusual sounds on earth, but it's flat out amazing. Since the music has an alien quality because of the throat singing and how two notes are done at the same time, I think the music has a more of an impact with an electronica background to fully take you to another world. It's almost like Tuvan music itself is from the past and you enjoy taking a trip listening to the lyrics. I can close my eyes and feel like I'm with them in Tuva.
In a way, this reminds me a lot of
Spirits From Tuva - Huun-Huur-Tu
, but instead of a Trance sample, Carmen Rizzo (who has done work for a lot of musicians), treats the music as something sacred and special.
Overall the album is a success, not only due to the difficulty it takes to mix two distinct styles, but how well it's done. This is a great World music album, and if you're up for trying something new - you can't go wrong with this stunning combination.
