Vas Music


I was listening to Niyaz and determined that I really liked the vocals most of all and discovered Azam Ali also has a albums out with VasMusic - a partnership of her and Gary Ellis. There is much less electronica and more vocals and traditional instruments, but it doesn't sound like slavish imitations of traditional music.You can hear samples of the tracks Garden of Souls on Amazon's site. I more inclined to order CDs than download Mp3s because the liner notes really enhance listening.... Lots of money spent on music this month :)

They -Vas- have 4 albums
Sunyata (the one you picture)from 1997
Offerings from 1998
In the garden of Souls 2000
Feast of silence 2004
Her voice remains me of Ofra Haza and Sheila Chandra.

ps:300 is quite a visual experience,really worth to be seen in a big screen.

you can listen to all of them,not just samples like in amazon but complete songs, complete albums at rhapsody.
you can even choose the songs you like the most from different ones,make your own "cd" and buy that.
I go to amazon too but sometimes when the song is getting really good, bum! the sample is over so I try to find stuff on rhapsody so I can really appreciate.
And sometimes is fun you can search for a song and the search engine shows you the same song in 10 different versions kind of interesting sometimes.
