Et voilà, je me suis encore laissée envouter par ces voix ! un véritable bonheur que de les écouter. Elles vous transportent loin, vers des horizons inconnus . De magnifiques mélopées qui vous enveloppent, vous séduisent et vous entrainent sur des chemins où la musique est un enchantement perpétuel. Bravo à tous ces artistes venus de divers continents d'avoir réalisé ce chef d'oeuvre qui nous permet de savourer de si belles musiques.

You could simply describe it as 'lounge' music, but that umbrella term is very general. The music of the album doesn't really have a central style that it always returns to, Briareus successfully combines impressive and unexpected musical diversity, from choice instruments to the compositions. The sound production is genius and clearly the result of years of experience. This album is wonderful.

Love The Boatman - sort of Divine Comedy on harder drugs!!- a 10/10 review just on the basis of that track - best thing I've come across on this site for ages, and there's been a lot of good stuff. A lot of people have downloaded and listened to this- it's easy to see why... Fusion of many different styles and recording techniques. It's interesting- maybe not the most poppiest but a superb listen. Thanks for brigthening up my day with something this original - there's a drought of alternative/r&b crossover such as this in the UK at the moment, so I'd try marketing it there!

All the tracks built mostly like this: mechanical unchanging rhythm goes all track long and different samples simply emerge and vanish without too much correlation and ground. The artist is skilled with sound work and all that concerns mixing and effects, he also plays guitar very nice, but tracks are very stagnated, they go nowhere. There are some rhythmic and tonal problems in some tracks.

What an outstanding, experience that is to really listen to and enjoy, and take in all this wonderful, amazing,jazzy, lounge, new age, down tempo, beautiful, atmospheric album has and much more to offer us. The feelings of eustacy,euphoria and also has a hypnotic, calming, beautiful, relaxing state it has on you.
