Totally breathtaking.haunting sonic otherworld, drifting, dreamy, menacing and malefic, a rumbling, whirring dark ambient dronescape, thick with natural timbre and dense with subtle overtones.
Atlan has its roots in the ceremonial: ritualism, shamanism, butoh. Master Tuvan throat singer Soriah teams up with prolific soundscaper Ashkelon Sain to create a totally breathtaking album. Soriah conjures up a haunting sonic otherworld, drifting, dreamy, a rumbling, whirring ambient dronescape, thick with natural timbre and dense with subtle overtones. The eleven tracks employ a host of Central Asian ethnic stringed instruments alongside atmospheric synths and hypnotic hand percussion to form a simmering backdrop for Soriah's mesmerizing vocals intoned in the ancient Aztec language of Nahuatl.Recommended.


REVIEW
You haven't heard half of what the vast realm of music has the potential to offer until you've heard 'Atlan'. Ritual performer and throat singer Soriah has teamed up with Ashkelon Sain (of Trance to the Sun) to create an album which fuses the soul with the synthesizer at last, making the mechanical and mystical one. Sweeping soundscapes guide the listener on a journey led by haunting vocals, and the result is honestly one-of-a-kind. (Jessika)
