5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful!, November 7, 2000

By 

Frederika (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lotus (Audio CD)

A friend recommended this cd to me, and I must say I wasn't sure whether I'd like it, but its brilliant, I LOVE it! So very beautifully done, both the singing and the music. It makes you feel relaxed, but it's not New Agey in a floaty way at all. The other reviews speak for themselves too, what a great find! Don't listen to the (too short) samples at the top of the page, just get the cd!

5.0 out of 5 stars smooth grooves: east meets west, November 28, 1999

By 

Samuel Grosvenor (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lotus (Audio CD)

like other reviewers on this page I would not normally buy music billed as "world music", but that phrase is in some ways misleading when applied to Lotus. This album is full of subtle surprises, with Harry's sense of texture perfectly complementing the richness of Edenborough's voice. The more reflective pieces, like "Cicadas" and "Village Rain" are well placed in the running order so that the funkier tracks like "Within or Without You" keep the impetus up. I love the basslines and grooves here, and the Bali vocals and gamelan playing give the whole an genuinely ethereal feel that's hard to find elsewhere in the genre. Most of all though, check out this album for Alex Edenborough's voice, which soars across the tracks with grace, darkly-intimated passion and real musicianship.

5.0 out of 5 stars MIND BLOW WING, November 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lotus (Audio CD)

These sounds, these grooves, and Alex Edenborough's voice will curl up at the base of your spine and blossom up, up and away from there. AIR AND ANGELS soars. LULLABY will put you away. A truly awesome effort.
