This album is all about the singing, and very fine it is too, with male choral and female solo vocals soaring over a dense instrumental web... This is deep, immersive music. The mood can be trance-like, stately, skittish and sensuous, sometimes all at once. The disc's five tracks feature three pieces – two are duplicated, as if the alternate takes are put before the album – with the first version of the title-track being the highlight. The piece that isn't duplicated, 'Gadhung Mlati', is magical music – perhaps literally so, as it is said to come from the submarine court of the Goddess of the South Sea...
