Biography

Opus III had a few hit songs in the early-'90s ambient house scene before lead vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw embarked on a successful venture later on in the decade as a freelance vocalist, working with some of dance music's most successful artists. The group's debut album for Atlantic, Mind Fruit (1992), featured the popular songs "It's a Fine Day" and "I Talk to the Wind." The group attained… Read more in Amazon's Opus III Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow... me too, July 2, 2003
I truly have nothing to add to the other reviews here, except to affirm that I am totally in love with her voice!

These are classic club beats with trance overtures and vocals, a breathtaking combination.

5.0 out of 5 stars good soundscapes, February 2, 2003
By M. Kasraie "nima53" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This album is definitely better than their first one (Mind fruit). It is longer, better organized, and sounds more refined. Of course if you really get to like them, like me, youll be happy with both of their albums. But this depends on what type of music youre searching for. If youre looking for dance music or hi energy Scooter beats, this album is not for you. This is softer stuff. I like to call their style of music "sensual techno".

5.0 out of 5 stars Music for the mind & the soul......., August 22, 2002
By "fxwei" (Here & there.) - See all my reviews
If you're longing for a great music for tranquility & seenity. This is the answer !! "GURU MOTHER" is the kind of album that's rich vocally as well as melodically. Kirsty Hawkshaw's angelic voice is a cure for the soul.

In addition, this album offers something differemt than your stereo-typical boring "meditation" music. OPUS III trancends an ambient/trance genre to the next level. How often you do find a record which is ambient/trance oriented but deliver a sense of 'peacefullness' & 'bliss' at the same time ?

Most of trance album outhere are either full of dull-repetitive techno/thumping beats. This one is definitely NOT that kind !! I highly recommended this OPUS III album. Especially if you like ambient genre like: BT. Peace !!
