There lies a place not often explored where the dragon and phoenix struggle toward balance. Tibetan horns are heard far off in the distance; flutes and vocals hum a solemn melody, fingers dance on the strings of a lute; rumbling drums echo like a crescendo of gusting wind. Solace takes us farther east fusing Middle Eastern compositions with Far Eastern themes and percussion. "Balance" marriages these distinct tonalities creating a unique cross-cultural blend of traditionalism and the electronic elements of Ambient, Trance and Trip-Hop.

My special favourites are 'Haiku' 'Indigo Dragonfly' and 'Miss Anime'. Read more...
