Celestial – Spirit House

23.10.2011

Celestial’s first album, Spirit House, is an engaging blend of styles and sounds. Peter Millward is the group’s mastermind, writing most of the songs and thereby developing a signature sound which draws from a variety of sources, from contemporary worldbeat, pop and new age music to Vietnamese and Chinese folk. There’s nothing overtly challenging on the album. Instead, it’s an inviting set of worldbeat fusion deisgned to stimulate emotions, not the mind. And, according to that criterion, it works very well indeed.

However, among all the other things there are in this album and some special mysticism, especially when it recitate texts monotone voice under strange rhythms, which seems like the closer, then move away. For sure many fans of not simple tunes like the Turkish album.

Dead Can Dance – Spiritchaser

15.08.2010

In most musical instruments the resonator is made of wood while the actual sound generator is of animal origin.
