[Craig Gidney ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2006 21:12:46 -0800 (PST) From: Craig Gidney Subject: Pinknruby, Garden. Mihaela Repina and Paul Bradbury make light, mysterious and mostly acoustic music that draws from Eastern European folk and Brazilian samba, with a dash of jazz. Both sing in Slovenianshe in a dusky voice that recalls Lou Rhodes from Lamb, he in a light tenor that reminds one of Ben Watt. The music dances on the edge of being too precious and tweeone song features a cat purring. But the harmonies are solid, the instrumentation inventiveharps, psaltery and cello are added to mix, and Repinas alto is truly bewitching. On such tracks as "Nader Margh" and "White Lady Mirror," her dark voice and the soothing, glimmering instrumentation create an indescribable world of dark and light. --Craig Gidney http://www.pinknruby.com - --------------------------------- Yahoo!
