Popular also in Croatia

We already owned this album and several others by the same group. This purchase was made to send a copy to a former student in Croatia. When we were visiting her in August, we heard that she had downloaded similar music from her computer. Since she did not know of the group, we sent her this copy. She has since reported that it is on "continuous play" at her house. For us, the clean voices of the choir and the perfect blending of the disparate voices are the main draw. The subtle, eastern, modulations run counter to most western music; however, they are wonderfully executed, and, of course, further add to the allure of the entire CD. When I ordered this for my student, I noticed that many of the other CD's by this group were now unavailable. This is a shame as the sound is truly both unique and captivating.

I heard Pilentze Pee on my clock radio in the late 80's and went down and bought the album immediately, and it is still a favorite.

This album, and the music of the choir is magnificent - in richness of sound, vocal artistry and spiritual depth. The blending of rural folk music -- in itself highly sophisticated harmonically and rhythmically -- with modern composition results in an almost otherworldly mood. Their earthy, unadorned vocal style seems all at once ecstatic, elegaic, and humble. Their performance style, no vibrato, clear, sharp, high toned calls, seems to plumb the root of the human condition, and...beyond. I do not believe there is a universal musical language. However, this is as close as it gets.

Both the choir and the compositions / arrangements are of an unchallenged quality. The music is unique in itself, and the performance is fantastic.
