Shakuhachi Tales by Kamal is a very dark,electronic, misty, ambient track with a very cloudy eerie sound and haunting flutes. The electronic sound effects at the beginning and ending are absolutely haunting. Ali Baba by Karunesh is an 8 and a half minute track with exotic, drums, flutes, and Sanskrit chants to give a very haunting sound. This song is similar to Shakuhachi Tales only a bit brighter. Truth About Humans by Govinda is a very haunting track with a very strong Middle Eastern sound with a Middle Eastern violin. Voices From A Distant Planet by Cybertribe has a more Australian sound and Aboriginal chants. Uktena by Stonecoat is a Native American influenced track with a brooding atmosphere and a really cool beat. Escape To Reality by Mars Lasar is absolutely powerful and awesome. It has a much more spacey sound and a strobe-light sounding guitar riff sample from the Smiths 1983 hit How Soon Is Now. This song could almost make a dent on the pop charts. History Of he Sandman has a much more electronic/classical sound with haunting Gregorian Chants, gorgoues violin, and beautiful vocals. One to enjoy on a dark rainy evening. Blossoms From India by Gingko Garden is a jazzier song with a much more Indian sound with a Sitar and bizarre violins and a awesome chant. Enchantment by Alkaemy is a somber track with a more Celtic twist. It's a very beautiful song. Parada by Marcome is a much more Enya-esque song with haunting vocals and thundering drums. It's a very eerie yet kind of Dori-Caymmi-esque song(Dori Caymmi is a Brazilian guitarist. His Kicking Cans LP is great). Medicine Man is a more Mayan Central American influenced with plucky soudnign instruments and a very jungle like sound. This is one to enjoy on a trip to the Amazon. Frog Dancing by David Anthon Clark is a return to the more Australian sound that was on Track 4 by Cybertribe only this track is probably easier to get into. I love the flute ending. Red Rhythm Dragon by James Asher is much more intense and has a far more traditional sound. If you like Peter Gabriels Passion or Passion Sources you might enjoy this song. Ring Of Gold is a very Mayan, Aztec sounding song with bizarre voice effects and many Myan instruments to give this song a very jungle like sound. Alegria by Potschs Potchska is another jungle like sounding song similar to Ring Of Gold only not wuite as jungle sounding. A good song to end the CD with.

This CD is one to include in any world music lovers collection. It is more powerful than any of the Pure Moods CDs. I enjoy all of these songs on this CD unlike the Pure Moods where I sometimes skip some tracks.
