I thought it sounded like the (remaining) Palestinians going through Israeli road blocks.  One after the other.  

I like this, especially coming not too long after Tonolec's haunting piece. Dig the ethnic voices, eclectic music, & the unified vibe on RP

 ...Lisa Gerrard....

marvelous...  we be dancing...
 

Love her voice!

I like that!  Cool post!

Love Peter Gabriel's music (except for all the yucky covers on his Scratch My Back album), as well as Lisa's...

Really wonderful album!   Some of my preferred tracks are part of my favorite scene in the movie "Gladiator."

If you're really stoned/tired, you might hear bits of "Scarborough Fair" in this one like I do. 

Great song, and amazing album!  Could definitely use more LG on RP. I'm really surprised by the overall low rating?! Perhaps people are not very familiar with her - the comments are strong but the rating is so low - Hmmmmm......?

this is gorgeous!

wow
but i'm stoned

whoa but i'm on the wrong playlist
listening to roots reggae and commenting on rp 

Are we there yet?

this is where I head over to www.wwoz.org

Me likey!

Oh BTW, many of the numbers on this album were part of the soundtrack to the movie, Gladiator, which is why, despite fredriley's fair comments comparing to DCD, I find this album is quite superlative.  For me, it achieves a level much like Peter Gabriel's Passion album, because the music takes the visuals to a place amazing place they could only gain entry to because of the soundtrack, and vice versa.  The evocative synergy of the two brought tears to my eyes as Maximus only managed to achieve peace and reunion with his family in death.

Oh touche fredriley, moi touche aussi!

As a long-time DCD fan I rated that album as their worst ever by some margin - they just didn't crack African music IMO, and should have stuck to the Goth-style stuff they were so good at. Still, one person's sucko-barfo is another's godlike, right enough. This collaboration produced a pleasant enough album of, for Lisa, relatively 'easy listening', though nothing to write home about. It doesn't grab me anything like the earlier DCD stuff, or Lisa's later work.

Suggest the Spiritchaser album by Dead Can Dance (of which Lisa Gerrard was in). It is a 10.

Reminds me a lot of Bobby McFerrin's voice ensemble, Voicestra.

Immortal Memory is the one to get...great CD.

She sometimes sings in non-English languages, thought. This album is a parson's egg mix - good in parts, but on the whole a little disappointing, as Lisa's edge is blunted by her collaborator's more commercial, mainstream sounds. Worth having, but not a patch on Dead Can Dance stuff, or her solo work.

This is nice. Play more!

more lisa please

Until she opens her big mouth.

I have this cd and it\'s great, especially for playing

Lisa Gerrad is incredible.

Without a doubt one of the most unearthly voices ever. Nothing Lisa Gerrard does is wrong.

It reminds me of the Israelites escaping Egypt via the desert... Sounds like the sort of thing they might chant. I hope that sounds like a compliment to the song because I mean it as one :p

Strange, but at the same time familiar sounding music. Nice percussive sounds. Imaginitive. Opens up another, kinda mystic world, a bit. I wonder, do they use an existing lanquage, or are these wordless vocals? Does anybody know?

very good.
