In a few words:
This album is my last discovery. It spins almost every night at my player. Imagine a more "eastern" version of Loreena McKennitt and Dead Can Dance. Add some ethnic instruments and some electronic beats and you will have an idea of the music. So, what about the singer? Again, the two similar voices that come to my mind are Loreena McKennitt and Lisa Gerrard. "Elysium..." is the second solo album of this great Iranian singer. An album that has beautiful melodies, ethnic rhythms, dark/mysterious atmosphere and a great voice. Although she is not a very popular artist she has collaborated with Serj Tankian, Dredg and others. In general, this album is an excellent companion for night listening.
Personal highlights:
"Endless Reverie", "Spring Arrives" and "I Am A Stranger In This World"
This album is great =)
