I'm not entirely sure how to describe this, though clearly it is in the electronica/chill-out realm. Eerie & interesting, draws you in and takes you for a rhythmic ride. One of my favorites.

...Volume 1 is highly recommended...
author: Bill Binkelman
Here is another entry in the ever-expanding collection of artists (and their recordings) who are reinvigorating the Enigma-esque/Delerium electronica subgenre, in which chill-out and ethnic beats are wedded to a variety of keyboards and lush sensuous synthesizers with some additional wordless or chanting vocals. However, like all the artists I have mentioned so far, what Anyma shares with them is special attention paid to production and engineering detail, high quality electronic instrumentation and a knack for integrating melodic hooks with infectious beats. As such, Volume 1 is highly recommended if you enjoy the music of the other musicians I’ve listed above.
All things considered, Volume I should elevate Anyma’s stature in the electronica and chill-out subgenre considerably if enough people find out about it. The use of retro EM elements on some tracks juxtaposed with the organic ethno-tribal percussion ends up being an evocative and unique combination, one that should broaden the appeal of this CD beyond the expected audience of Enigma/Delerium/Dead Can dance-philes.

Remember when Delerium made great albums? Remember when Dead Can Dance actually made any albums? Without being low grade copycats Canadian duo Anyma have tapped into that same exotic, epic, neo-medieval vein with impressive results. Over lush backdrops and slowly throbbing rhythms they craft an eerie twilight world of leisurely piano motifs, sensual wordless vocals and the exquisitely layered, repetitive arpeggios of ambient trance. At just over 40 minutes in length this CD is very much a case of quality over quantity. The best is saved for last: the instrumental "Exordyum" is a spellbinding example of minimalist repetition and slow build, informed with that curiously Eastern sense of time where the music seems to grow out of the earth rather than simply start at one point and finish at another.
