CD Reviews

Great songs...but seem a little over-engineered
Duke M | California, United States | 05/24/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I had been listening to "Rapa Iti Volume 2" for years, and I bought this disc after listening to several interviews with the man who made the recordings, Pascal Nabet-Meyer. I love the music of the Rapa people and their story is fascinating. Listening to these songs gives you a sense of reaching back to something ancient in human history.



My only complaint with this disc is that it seems over-engineered. I'm no expert, but it sounds too polished, as though someone added too much reverb, and it loses some of the raw energy of the rougher-sounding recordings on "Rapa Iti Volume 2." This disc is worth having, but I would encourage listeners to also try "Rapa Iti Volume 2.""
Unique and excellent
Edward Falis | Ipswich, Ma United States | 02/02/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I heard this years ago, and was simply awestruck by it. The music is very difficult to describe. But it's very moving.



Well worth picking up."
