5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling voice, December 12, 2006

I bought this CD about three years ago, listened to it once or twice, but I wasn't listening to a lot of music at the time, so I set it aside (yet still within reach). In the last year or so I've listened to it dozens of times, and I'm still not fatigued.

Olga Helm's voice has a very honest sound, and the orchestration provides excitement at times, and quiet contemplative moods at others.

While I don't love every song on the CD, including the title cut, the whole is something that makes you feel while listening, the sine qua non of good music.

I am very happy that Shai no Shai is working on a new CD. They have a web site under construction at [...].

Edgy and ethnic, these songs are quite unlike anything I have heard before. How very unfortunate it is that Olga and her band seem not to have made any other recordings. This CD is a most wonderful and unusual creation!

Not often does an album of this calibre come along. Every song is so good that it almost sounds familiar the first time you hear it.
