Fly, Fly My Sadness

"Wave" is the high point on this album for me. I love the vocal experimentation that carries the track through its... well, waves. The rest of the album is wonderful, too, though, offsetting the Russian male throat singing with high and mysterious Bulgarian female wailing. Sergey Starostin's clear, strong vocals act as a tether between the two. This music might require you to take a couple steps back for perspective, because you have to jump around in the music and just listen here and there. The whole choral onslaught is too much to take in at once.
