COSMIC VOICES OF BULGARIA
Mechmetio
Intuition 3287-2 (2000)

Present-day Mystère splinter-group choir, distant-mic’d in Sofia’s National Palace of Culture. Old and new material, sometimes touching on the heart-rending magic, mostly on the four classic Kutev arrangements and the tracks featuring the still magnificent power and pitch-subtlety of Nadka Karadjova.
