Hattifnatorium - haven for obscure choral gems

"Wherefore I wished, and understanding was given me: and I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came upon me: And I preferred her before kingdoms and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her. Neither did I compare unto her any precious stone: for all gold in comparison of her, is as a little sand, and silver in respect to her shall be counted as clay. I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out."

The Bulgarian Voices - Angelite & Huun-huur tu - Fly, fly my sadness

1. Fly, Fly My Sadness 7:47
2. Legend 7:41
3. Wave 7:24
4. Lonely Bird 10:58
5. Mountain Story 10:17

A masterpiece of eastern vocal music, stunning with incredible harmonies and enchanting with the atmosphere of the borderless steppe. It's not a chance collaboration, Bulgarian and Tuvan ancestors were once parts of the same nation, but they chose different directions of migration and ended up on two opposite sides of Eurasia. Now they unite their east end west, their masculinity and their feminity, their individualism and order, their paganism and orthodox christianity - and the result is redeeming. If polyphony is your thing - there is nothing better than this album.
