If music is a drug to some people than be careful because you might od from listening to this over and over again. Some music gets boring after awhile, especially from some of the "chill out" compilations but not to worry that that would happen here. I think it is the effect that B-Tribe music has on the human spirit; it is the calm after the storm. The music is hard to describe but it definitely has that otherworldly transendental feel, like floating on clouds to worlds unknown. Along the way angelic voices will come and go, combining with the rich electronic musings and stylish Spanish guitar solos, you are on a musical trip within the limitless boundaries of your imagination. There is a soothing fluidity to the music of B-Tribe, like a gentle wave of euphoria that takes over your body, beginning through your senses and enveloping your whole being. It is one of the coolest sounds around and ever so mellow. I like to listen to this disc while taking a morning walk along the local trails, the morning mist adds to the mystery of the sound, the clarity of the music is as sure as the sun rising over the mountains, the gentle thumping bass line is a metronome for my accelerated heart beat, the guitar licks move as swiftly as the river water flows to the city and B-Tribe moves me along observing nature from above, alongside and beyond. It is the song "Misterio"(Mystery), the Spanish sound of guitar and the evolution of a centuries old instrument and the gypsy spirit continuing its sojourn. The Arabic elements, the Asian influences and the Spanish all mesh together in an electronic rendering of spiritual world music that is better than most forays into world music.
" Mi Alma Espanol " is an extremely interesting piece that features the vocals of one, Susan Carrol, for a change of pace that takes you deeper into the cathedral within. Based on a Medieval theme by the twelfth-century nun, mystic and prophet , Hildegard of Bingen, the fusing of guitar and voice is blended with aural textures to create an ambience of another place and time. It is a knockout. This is one of those discs that sounds good most any time of day or night because it creates it's own mood, taking over whatever state of mind you might have been in before and flushing your whole being. It is higher music if you will, music for the soul that leaves you feeling refreshed. I would definitely recommend this disc for anyone that likes world music or Spanish chill out that is some of the most relaxing music being recorded today.
