Ana Hina by Natacha Atlas & the Mazeeka Ensemble Price: $19.98
Customer Review: Atlas' most intimate album yet, _Ana Hina_ is showing itself to be her simplest and most elegant album to date. Shedding herself of her Transglobal Underground and Jah Wobble roots, she focuses more on the raw emotion of the music she sings, relying more heavily on her vocals and acoustics than on... more info
Customer Review: I have all of the Solstice releases. This will be the last I buy. It sounds more like the "Easy Listening Jazz" FM stations that are franchised around the country than Christmas. I used to put the CD's on at night with the tree lights on, house lights off and the snow falling outside. The... more info
Customer Review: This is a perfect collection for the holidays, or any occasion. I have the complete Winter Solstice set, and lost the first album in a divorce.

Of course, the other selections are... more info

I've heard same arrangements a million times and it makes me sad that they just don't do anything for me anymore. Then... more info
Customer Review: This is one of the most beautiful collections of Celtic music - it's "Christmasy" but not over the top. The best song is "Lament" by Patrick Cassidy - very haunting. It's the reason I bought the CD.
Customer Review: Just bought this CD a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed listening to it because there's something different about these music compared to contemporary ones. Although obviously they are very modern, you can say Moby's technique of utilizing notes harks back to medieval times. The prolongation of some... more info
Customer Review: This is my 5th Christmas cd from Windham Hill. While not my favorite of the five, it still fits the Windham Hill sound and I recommend it for a quiet "Night before Christmas".
