Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Intuition Music CTR 8016 2 Release Year: 1998 Note: debut album by the mesmerizing "Middle-Age / Balkan / Oriental Ethno-Pop" group around singer SONJA DRAKULICH that has often been compared to DEAD CAN DANCE, but STELLAMARA are maybe stronger based in original Eastern Folk traditions... last copies / special price Price (incl. 19% VAT): €10.00 More Info "We simply never tire of the hauntingly elegant Star ot the Sea by Stellamara. Sonja Drakulich's rich, siren-like vocals are paired with stately, reverential beats, and an exceptionally rare mood is established as a result—one both seductive and solemn. This album draws on the most arcane and ancient melodies from 13th and 15th century Galacia, Croatia, and Persia, and makes them relevant and engaging. "Zephyrus" is an incredible track, as is "Immrama"—an almost incomprehensibly subtle medieval Irish song concerning a hero's sea journey to the Otherworld. "Stellamara cut directly to the devotional essence of music." [SF Weekly]
