Tya – Tribal Sutras (New Earth Records/Times Music, 2001)
Fans of Deep Forest and Enigma would like this deep trance album. The influences are from around the world, and reflect sounds from Bulgaria to Australia. The 9 danceable tracks make for an interesting start to your party. Our pick is the fine track “Awake to Your Senses.”
All tracks are written and produced by Martin Scherl. The album is named after the Australian aboriginal word for ‘earth,’ and the holistic peace-loving message of the album fits in well with 21st century globalist thinking.
