Synopsis

Product Description
Atlan has its roots in the ceremonial: ritualism, shamanism, butoh. Master Tuvan throat singer Soriah teams up with prolific soundscaper Ashkelon Sain to create a totally breathtaking album. Atlan conjures up a haunting sonic otherworld, drifting, dreamy, a rumbling, whirring ambient dronescape, thick with natural timbre and dense with subtle overtones. The 11 tracks employ a host of Central Asian ethnic stringed instruments alongside atmospheric synths and hypnotic hand percussion to form a simmering backdrop for Soriah's mesmerizing vocals intoned in the ancient Aztec language of Nahuatl.

CD Reviews

A Masterpiece, magnum opus
J. Howitt | Portland, OR | 09/23/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD represents the #1 new cd release for me this year. You will not find another cd like this one, in terms of originality, sonic mastery of voice, synth, drums and guitar and other eclectic instruments. I have a been a huge fan of Soriah over the years, and this CD is a major step in the evolution of the sound.



Soriah was honored as the Third Place winner in the International Symposium of Khoomei Competition, and "Best Foreigner" in the 2008 Ustuu-Khooree World Music Festival in Tuva, where the form originated last year. ! Truly a masterpiece in every regard. HIFI connoisseurs will appreciate the amazing sound and recording quality of this release.

"This is an outstanding CD, especially if you are a fan of shamanic tribal music. It does have a lot of the feel of Jorge Reyes music and is engrossing and trance forming. As Jorge Reyes recently passed away it is good to have a group that can keep this musical tradition alive. I highly recommend this CD if your a fan of either Jorge Reyes and Steve Roach."
