Reviewed 2008-01-23
Another delicious release from LBM featuring the fabulous vocal harmonies and a capella music for which they are justly famed. Warm, glorious and all wonderful. At least one star each track.

1. Relaxed and lightly swaying, then picks up.
2. Downtempo & stately w/a sweet round song feel.
3. Clicks and call-response in a relaxed, tuneful track.
4. Lazily lyrical w/warm layers of voices.
5. Joyful down/midtempo w/nice call-response interplay.
6. A relaxed chant w/those fantastic harmonies.
7. Downtempo call-response love song w/English lyrics.
8. Warm w/great waves of melody.
9. Midtempo, kind of trilling w/a a light touch.
10. Midtempo w/subtle power.
11. English language hymn, down/midtempo.
12. Downtempo w/gorgeously warm harmonies. Picks up a bit.
