Tomb of Every Hope Composed by Hector Zazou with Katie McMahon, Breda Mayock -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editorial Reviews Zazou specializes in ambient soundtracks for nonexistent movies that take their cues from various world music genres. This time out it's Irish sacred music, and Zazou, with the help of a small army of international stars including Egyptian percussionist Hossam Ramzy, trumpet wiz Mark Isham, and French picker extraordinaire Thierry Robin, has fashioned 13 moody settings for ancient and modern texts that feature mournful vocals by Brede Mayock and Lasairfhiona ni Chonaola. The result is new agey, but the passion of the singers and some disturbing instrumental touches keep the music from getting too predictable. The misleading ads for this album say that it features Brendan Perry from Dead Can Dance, and Katie McMahon from "Riverdance." Perry does play percussion on two tracks, and McMahon sings lead on three, but if you're looking for the Gothic pop of DCD or the exuberant Irish jigs of "Riverdance," you're going to be disappointed. --j. poet

Exceptional album. Anymore Zazou would be greatly appreciated. Hossanahs and the laying of many palms. Sahara Blue is one of the great unsung CDs of the latter half of the 20th Cent.
Thanks

Sahara Blue is what started me on my Zazou journey. There are a couple of Seeds of Songs from the Cold Seas. Highly reccomended.
