The 2001 debut of German electronic outfit Lesiem is much more dark and ominous than fans of Enigma and Deep Forest may expect, which only means that teenage goths and their moms may finally have something to agree on when it comes to picking music for long car rides. The Latin-singing male chorus can sound as frightening as Rammstein on an OMEN soundtrack one moment, and as transcendent as Handel's MESSIAH in the next, while Ferenc Snetberger wails on electric guitar in WALL-era Pink Floyd mode, and Alex "89" Wende provides the dance loops and orchestral thunder with his keyboard work.

One of the highlights of MYSTIC SPIRIT VOICES is "Fundamentum" with its crashing tympanis, strings, and chanting at its most ominous and dark. Electric guitar circles over the voices on the impassioned "Vivere," while "Ave Fortuna" ends the record with a more straightforward Gregorian chant. Moments of rock burble forth from the ceremonial reverence and fiery ancient imaginings; "Occultum" features a singer belting out English lyrics in 1980s hard-rock style; "Floreat" has a British voice narrating a tale of a time when "the world was shadows" over a heavy beat. This surprisingly dynamic recording proves that "spirit voices" come in all varieties.

Enigma meets Pink Floyd on this journey through mystic spirit voices. Born out of a male voice choir whose experience is based on a 50-year tradition, Lesiem soars across the heavens with their own brand of mystic-pop. Combining Gregorian chants with wor

NAPRA Review (07-08/02, p.68) - "...Ancient Gregorian chants sung by a highly skilled, trained, and disciplined male chorus...A soulful, mystic pop that soars across the heavens..."

Mystic Spirit Voices Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Love It!
I took a chance on this CD having never heard their music and I was delighted. The group reminds me of ERA but with their own unique flavor. This music is great for dring along the country roads or as background music while drawing. Want to feel artistic? Listen to Lesiem and see what develops...

5 stars Music, Spirit, Voices by Lesiem
I received this CD by Lesiem from a wonderful woman as a gift when she returned from a trip to San Francisco. She walked in and just started playing it over the stereo. I froze, listening intently - trying to figure out who it was. All I can say is that this is a KILLER album! A MUST BUY!!!
