I bought this CD about 10 years ago and it went out of print soon thereafter. It received mixed reviews when released, but I found it a very intriguing recording. It is acapella, with some clapping and other non-vocal sounds. About every standard and non-standard vocal technique used in 20th Century music is used, including what sounds like Tuvan throat singing. Although probably considered avant-garde by many, the works on this recording are actually very approachable, in my opinion. You need to listen to it and see what I mean. It is truly an adventure in listening. It leaves you wondering how some of the sounds were produced.
