"What great all around music. I don't feel compelled to list a bunch of names to compare it to, it stands well on it's own, and doesn't pretend to be anything. It's that great mix of new-jazz-clasical-rock thing that feels good to listen to. When you get to the end of the CD you find yourself saying "wow, that was really cool" then you put it right back to the beginning again."
Good effort for a first try...

"These days it's probably impossible to get a perfect groove-ambient-new agey (whatever you want to call it) album. This is no exception. While some tracks are excellent, others just fill in CD space for no reason. Maybe that's the reason why there are 17 tracks in total. That said, I think they put a fair amount of effort into this. What you get is a sound that falls somewhere in between Enigma and Mythos but with more flamenco influence. Best tracks are 1,2 and 6. I wonder what their next album will be like..."
It will live in your CD player for a long time!

"This was one of those discs that jumped into my hand. And I am glad it did. From the deep sliding bass of the opening track to the the "Enigma"-tic lyrics of the final track, Bella Sonus definitely lived up to its name. Rich, deep groves, flamenco guitars, upbeat dance- this album has it all. If you liked "Pilgrimage: 9 Songs of Ecstacy", then you will like this album."
