We know on an intellectual level how far removed our modern Western lifestyle is from the traditions of the ancients, but it takes an album such as this to bring it home on an emotional level. At times joyous, at times sorrowful, it is an epic journey into the untamed spirit of the Tuvan people, indigenous to the high pastures of the Altai mountains in south central Siberia. With rhythms reminiscent of galloping horses, and the famous throatsinging forming a deep and resonant backdrop without being allowed to overly dominate, we gain a keen insight into a vibrant, rich and profound culture. Satisfying, evocative and relaxing.
