Search - Calm :: Shadow of the Earth

Heavenly album from Japanese ambient masters.

"This album is absolutely brilliant. Calm have created a wonderful, relaxing soundscape populated with soothing percusion. The English language vocals (there are no Japanese) are sparse and only accentuate the fantastic mellow beats and rhythms that fill the album. I love listening to this disc late, late in the evening. Dim the lights, grab a drink, and luxuriate in the sounds of Calm. If you get the chance, also pick-up the equally (if not more so) wonderful `Moonage Electric Ensemble' also by Calm. I'd file their sound under the same category as Hed Kandi's `Serve Chilled' sets."
