Tsunami [CD-single] [Enhanced]

This isn't to say, of course, that you should just search Napster for the standout tracks -- nearly every song on this CD is very good as well, and many have grown on me a lot with time. Speaking from the point of view of someone who listens to quite a lot of electronica, I think this album is refreshing: the alien sounds and the new, modern arrangements fit together in a very engrossing and imaginative way. The remixers really nailed it with this project.

Musical Heaven.......2001-06-28

On this remix CD of tracks from Heaven's Dust, Ekova have shown me that they truly are open to any type of music. There is a large range to the tracks featured on this CD. It almost reminds me of a soundtrack of sorts; a collection of songs all very similar to a theme but each having there own distinct rythm and feel. Done by a whole slew of European and Asian DJs, you would think this really has nothing to do with Ekova...you would be wrong. Ekova had a huge hand in deciding who would remix there tracks. I have heard through the grapevine that there was huge interest in the project and many song were submited. Ekova had the final choice about which songs made it on the CD. So, if you want a very different type of electronica or just a smooth collection of beats to keep you happy in the car, Soft Breeze will definatly not disapoint.

Incredible Vocals and Fantastic Musical Arrangement.......2001-03-09

The music is invigorating, and the vocals are phenomenal. If you are into music that includes various worldly flavors, Ekova hits the jackpot!

This Ekova recording is very similar to the album "Heavens Dust" in that the songs are the same, the difference being the musical arrangement of each song. I find this presentation to be more aggressive. Heavens Dust is raw and I suppose you could say, less influence by that of what is typical of musical producers today. I think that the production influence on this recording brings out a broader variety of musical elements. The music is fuller and modernized, if you will.

This is the first time I have ever heard of Ekova. The more I listen to this recording the more I like it. I found it at a listening station and was very impressed with the music and the extraordinary vocals.

I have several world music and several electronica compilations. This is the first recording that I own that combines them. It is very different I must say. For me it is great music to listen, drive, grove and jam (take note fellow musicians) to. I am looking forward to other Ekova recordings since I think so highly of this one.

Excuse me, could you repeat that?.......2000-10-09

Just what language are these guys singing in?

I picked this CD up in Toronto. I am not sure why. I vaguely remember hearing a National Public Radio piece on a band that used electonic music and an invented language in their music. I am not sure if this is the same band. It wouldn't matter anyway, since I don't understand a word they say. But that seems to be the point... So, with a hunch and a little bit of a sense of adventure, I picked up the CD. I have not regretted the choice.

The interesting thing about this CD is the inventive mixes of different musical genre. At some level, it seems like typical World techno pop, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. But I also enjoyed the combinations of middle eastern inspired electronic music...and who knows what else!! Some of the music is a little off-beat, like the self-claimed Dark Jazz music of "Sebrendita" -- which is a mix of hip-hop, Indian (?) and jazz piano music. Interesting. I also liked their "Taksim."
