It's difficult to encapsulate the many virtues of this terrific follow-up album to "Miriam" (another must-have). Above all is Miriam's incredible voice...the voice that launched "Adiemus," but is even better served in her own material. Within any given song, her voice may be a breathy promise...a soaring anthem...or a chorus of tribal voices. It all makes for a blend which is "New Age" and "New World" - yet much more. The incredible musicianship and exquisitely layered production makes this music unique to the world which Miriam has created. This is music which feeds the emotions...by turns calming and inspiring. I happily give "Second Nature" my highest recommendation!

I've been a long time fan of Miriam Stockley ever since the first Adiemus album. Up until this point, I have all the Adiemus cd's including her 2 solo works. I bought second nature a year ago from Japan because I just couldn't wait to hear her new album. And what can I say? I love it and can't stop listening to it. My favorite track is defintitly Spring, not just for her voice but I also love the beat. African percussions beating to the soothing style of her music. I hope she never stops what shes doing and am definitly looking forward to her future projects.

Well, I loved her other album, including the African rhythmed ones, so a full album of that style has a definite appeal. But each of the songs are just a bit too much alike. And there's only so much "Eeyayo" chants I can take before I start getting a bit agitated over unoriginality. However, it's excellent music, especially as background ambience.
