JUST TO CLEAR UP SOME CONFUSION: This is not the same Dido who released the CD "No Angel." If you look up this CD on any other music site, you'll recognize the fact that there are two different artists here. Please take this into consideration. (I didn't listen to it so ignore my rating.)

This IS Nyoma Mwan Dido...not the Dido that everyone in this review seems to be is refering to. Another person already pointed this out.

This is the CD of the Japanese group 'dido' made up of singer Shizuru Ohtaka and composer, guitar player, and arranger Michiaki Kato. If you're a fan of music like Enya, this should please you. This CD is very soft and take traditional Japanese sounds and puts them to slow moving, modern western beats and melodies. It's a beautiful break from hectic life, with Ohtaka's singing style changing subtly with each song. Listen to the clips and buy if you like it.

I was looking for music for my home to create a zen environment and this CD was recommended to me by a massage Therapist. On the whole, I really liked the music, though I recommend you not listen to it, while driving! I too, was being directed to the 'No Angel' Cd by the "other Dido" when I looked in record stores. This is more of a New Age CD.

Amazing; yes. Dido Armstrong (aka Here With Me, No Angel, Hunter, etc); no. Nyboma Kwan Dido vs. Dido = Joshua 'unfamous' Jackson vs. Joshua 'movie star' Jackson. Sorry to bust any bubbles, (mine was too if it helps). But Ksana is definately cool, you just don't go comparing apples to oranges.

First I would like to say..."I Love Dido". A beautiful voice, and her latest CD "No Angel" is a 5 star wonder....However "Ksana" lacks the polish or production like "No Angel"....Something is missing, the CD tends to drag a little more and each song runs into the other leaving you wondering when did one song begin and one end.

My favorite cut on this CD is "Aurora", otherwise "Ksana" is good, but not great. "No Angel" shows up Dido's voice - like a star at Carnegie Hall, as for "Ksana" makes Dido sound like she is a wounded moose at Yellowstone.

I would give this CD 2 stars, but I love Dido so much that because "No Angel" is such a gem, it makes up for "Ksana's" loss.

Dido is a wonderful singer but her first CD "Ksana" shows her amateur status...Unlike the 5 star treat of "No Angel".

The music doesn't have the feeling or emotion of her latest CD...Too bad....but at least Dido is on the right track.

I recommend "No Angel" and to skip "Ksana".

i have No Angel and I am so impressed with Dido. She has moving lyrics and her music calms me and makes me think.

Trust me when I say, Don't Waste Your Money! I love "No Angel" by Dido. This doesn't even measure up to her. Skip this no name person and go check out "No Angel." Trust that it one hundred times more impressive.

I really doubt that anyone can not like Dido. She has an awesome voice, and her songs kick a$$. I think everyone should get this cd, all of her songs on it are great and will be some of your favorites. Here With Me, is also the theme song to rosswell.
