Nagari by Solace Solace : Nagari.
 Classical middle-eastern with excursions into electronica..

The most mysterious and complex album that Solace has released to date, Nagari is a seductive exploration of the darker side of Middle Eastern music. Featuring serpentine vocals of Kate St. Pierre, masterfully detailed percussion of Ruben Von Rompaey, and pristine instrumentation by Tim Rayborn and J.M. Soto, this album seems a particularly princely jewel in the already very bedecked Solace crown. The sound design and production are downright superlative. We particularly love the dynamic breaks of "Sorrow and Veil" as well as the modern seduction of the title track, "Nagari," but the best track on the album by far is the undulating "Condemnation," a track resplendent in sexiness and self-control. If you're a patient enough audiophile to snag the WAV files for this album, you're in for a treat when you listen to "Pharisees Prayer" on headphones. We could say this album features a blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, but the two are so seamlessly joined together, you'll hardly notice. Rather, you'll hear a kind of musical path beng laid out for you, one that takes you deep into forbidden, ancient places as well as strange new territories.
