b-tribe

• Suave Suave

  Showing major progression from the debut, this album has a mature ambience and unique Flamenco sound.

• Spiritual, Spritual!

  This fourth album, now on a new label, will please those of the b-tribe 'sound'.

Michael Cretu

• Moon, Light, and Flowers

Cretu and Thiers

• Belle Epoque
  A side project done in 1988, this album allowed Michael Cretu the opportunity to expand his musical ability with different musicians than he normally worked with.

Delerium

• Karma
  The follow-up to Semantic Spaces gives further evidence of Delerium's abilities.
• Poem
  Delerium's first album without Rhys Fulber appears unscathed. Full of vocals and majestic sound it oozes brilliance. Poetic justice?
• Semantic Spaces
  This is one of my all-time favourite albums and one of the few albums which I consider as good as Enigma. A full track-by-track rundown is provided.

Moodswings

• Live at Leeds

Nomad

• Nomad
  From a relatively unknown band in Australia, this release mixes the traditional Aboriginal didgeridoo with more modern sounds and beats.

Patrick O'Hearn

• Metaphor
  Patrick's latest release shows that he still knows how to create atmospheres while building on the instruments he uses.

Mike Oldfield

• The Songs of Distant Earth
  Mike Oldfield has been in the music scene since the early 1970s when his classic Tubular Bells was released. His new album continues the tradition of a wide range of instruments and styles.

Sacred Spirit

• Chants and Dances of the Native Americans
  Mixing electronic music with native american instruments and chants, this is a copy of the traditional Enigma formula.
