Enchanting, otherworldly display of traditional Balkan folklore enriched with elements of the avant-garde and electronics on this Ex-Yugoslavian wonder from composer and multi-instrumentalist Boris Kovač.The sequel to the two-part Ritual Nova series, Kovač manages to link ancient with modern and East with West with an ambitious yet perfectly executed blend of traditional and ethnic instruments infused with varying degrees of spiritual singing and his own trusty wind instruments.It’s deeply layered, but each element has it’s place, slowly piling up to build exhilarating environments of sound - shimmering zithers recalling the incredible Lithuanian ethno-folk from Ženklo Grupė, whilst the medley of old Serbian and Gregorian singing add to the exotic air.One of the finest releases from this musically overlooked region.
