11.Cross of the South / Underneath the Deserts / Starry Sky
Product Description:
Another volume of the Tranquil World series, Tranquil World: Untouched Desert Landscapes mixes field recordings of desert winds with Middle Eastern-inspired new age instrumental music. The collection is at its best when the music stays close to tradition and doesn't overpower the field recordings, as on "Shimmering Horizon," "The Call of the Muezzin," and "The Caravan's Arrival." Despite some cheap-sounding keyboard textures on tracks like "Wind Game in the Tamarist" and "Northeast Trade Winds," Tranquil World: Untouched Desert Landscapes is a soothing, fairly exotic collection that finds a harmonious balance between music and nature. ~ Heather Phares
