If any of you were as fascinated by the performance of the Trio Bulgarka on The Sensual World as I, then you should check out //Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares, vol.3 / Disques Cellier CD017 (1989)// !!! The power in this music is incredible ! It's a collection of Bulgarian folk songs arranged for choir, and per- formed by Choir Of Trakia, Choir R/TV Of Bulgaria (Sofia) and Choir Of Tolbuhin, with the help of a few soloists. Most of it is purely voice - only a couple of the 14 tracks are accompanied by instruments - and it offers some very interesting harmonies, not often heard in modern music. Mostly I am very impressed by the interaction, between individual voices and between groups of singers. The line gets sort of thrown around in a complex pattern. It's a very interesting and intense experience, when you are used to the more simple approach to the use of voice in more modern music (this obviously _not_ including KT). Try it ! Vol. 3 gives the best technical recording quality. The CD is a direct transfer from vinyl, so there is some noise, but it's nicely done. Vol. 1 is of no less value musically, but technically it's awfull. I have not heard Vol. 2....... -Lars- Email : D6I601@VAX87.AUD.AUC.DK

Sorry for this glut of postings- I just got on from a week of heavy schoolwork and I'm trying vainly to catch up on 4 groups!!!!!! Anyway, to the biz at hand..,..

The power in this >music is incredible ! I got one of The TRio Bulgarka's albums- The Forest is crying- and it it really cool! It's in the vein of gypsy music, so most people won't like it- then again, most people don't like KaTe (%^(... It's made for rainy afternoons and as mood music late at night. I can't under- stand what they're saying, so I make my own stories to go along with each song- There is one song that really moves me- the way these three women meld their voices knocks me on my keister every time! If you go to a record store that has a decent import/collectable section, you probably can find this one without much trouble. Oh, the album is on Hannibal records, and if anyone wants their address just E-mail me and I'll send it to ya! Ta Ta! -Goooooooch.
