4.0 out of 5 stars good New Age, January 21, 2001

This review is from: I Ching (Audio CD)

Uakti is a band of Brazilian musicians who have produced a series of very good cds combining a certain ambience (especially, the atmospheres of Amazonia) with New Age instrumental sensibilities to create a very light, and often sweet and warm, result. The arrangements employ any number of specially constructed flutes and percussion instruments. The nearest act I can compare them with is the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, minus the latter's quirkiness. All of their albums are about equally good and in general sound pretty much alike, yet each contains notable melodic hooks that will draw you in even after one hearing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, December 20, 2003

This review is from: I Ching (Audio CD)

This is the second Uakti album I've ever heard, Aguas da Amazonia being the first. Their use of the I-Ching patterns provides for a frenzy of 3/4 music in "The Hexagrams" All the songs (except possibly the last two) are in 3/4 time, with an ostinato taken from one of 8 i-ching trigrams. It's a wonderful cd that should appeal to true lovers of music.

5.0 out of 5 stars so happy i found this on amazon, January 15, 2010
