Album Review
Mandy Khoshnevisan
Reviewed 2003-09-25

An album of pretty lullabyes from all countries. Most are in languages other than English, which helps mask the fact that they’re lullabyes. Many have a shimmery echo effect and synth chords that are sposed to make you sleepy--so some tracks tend to sound a bit too much like music for your baby. But they’re nice and soothing. I’d play them for my baby if I had one.

* 1. (4:28) happy slow; female African vocals, guitar (by Santana), full-sounding
* 2. (4;12) lone acoustic guitar and low male African vocals with choral harmonies
3. (3:09) very echoey, with bell-like synths; female vocals, Scottish tune (in English)
4. (4:05) piano, soft gospel-sounding, smooth female African vocals over choral harmonies (shimmery echo)
* 5. (2:32) a cappella, with neat counterpoint/harmony. Female voices en español
