This review is from: Under the Mystic Sea (Audio CD)

Maria Sangiolo is an award-winning recording artist and contemporary folk musician. Her latest CD album is "Under The Mystic Sea" and showcases songs for children that are hallmarked by their truth, purity, and social values as much as their melodic harmonies, beautifully performed vocals, and compelling lyrics. Flawlessly recorded, this highly recommended and delightful collection includes: Giggly Girl (3:36); Mermaid Molly (2:56); Rock Penguin Hop (2:34); It's Too Hot! (3:47); At the 'Quarium' (1:58); Celia Says (3:34); Save the Sharks! (2:42); Power Shower (1:40); Hairbrush Blues (2:45); Penguin Sounds (:13); Down by the Ocean (2:23); going Over the Sea (2:36); Wibbaly, Wobbaly, Woo! (2:33); Dolphin Sounds (:32); No Dolphins Here (2:39); Little Miss Magic (3:40); Talia Too! (2:12); and Baby's Boat (2:49). Featuring a total running time of 57:11, "Under The Mystic Sea" also includes four sing-along tracks for children: Save the Sharks! (2:46); Giggly Girl (3:43); Mermaid Molly (2:58); and Rock Penguin Hop (2:35). Ideal for families and perfect for both school and community CD music collections for young children, "Under The Mystic Sea" is will prove to be a welcome and popular acquisition. Also highly recommended are Maria Sangiolo's previous CDs for children: "Hello Moon (2000) and "Fairy Moon: Songs of the Ring" (2004).

This review is from: Under the Mystic Sea (Audio CD)

Under the Mystic Sea has an environmental educational goal that will enchant some adult listeners and irritate others, but kids, especially those in elementary school who are ready to begin thinking hard about issues they will face in the world they are inheriting, should be broadly receptive to Maria Sangiolo's message. "It's Too Hot" follows polar bears puzzled by lost glaciers, "No Dolphins Here" offers what at times feels like a piece of direct mail set to rhyme and music, and "Save the Sharks," co-written by Sangiolo and a third-grade class, deserves to be the extended theme song of an actual organization, with all the pros and cons that entails. Like many folk-based singer-songwriters with entirely earnest lyrics, Sangiolo is comfortable working in various genres and tends to fall into them headfirst - blues are gritty, jazz is sultry, and so on.

If you are looking for creative ways to help make environmental issues come alive for your child, Under the Mystic Sea is a professional and captivating album. A full suite of instruments are carefully and delicately brought in to accompany her acoustic guitar, and songs like "Power Shower" might actually help you save on your water bill.
