Darko
Rundek & Gargo Orkestar is my first encounter with Croatian
music. Listening to Darko Rundek's enunciation of Croatian lyrics bathes
the listener in a new gene-pool of vocables and musically evokes feelings
and emotions and bridge the listener to a people, far beyond the abstraction
of the evening news. Listening to Darko
Rundek & Gargo Orkestar is a wake-up experience.

Zone

Artist Website: Lisbeth Scott
Lisbeth Scott is the co-lyricist and vocalist on the sound track for "The
Passion of the Christ." She can also be heard on the soundtracks of the
Shrek movies. Her work with Paul Schwartz on the "State of Grace"
still resonates somewhere in the back of my mind. Lisbeth is a very expressive
singer and an insightful songwriter. The song titled "Grace," on
her new cd "Passionate Voice," is my favorite. The throaty sounds
of the Armenian duduk seem to penetrate to another level of being and suspend
Lisbeth's vocals in an ethereal space.
