Composer-genius Jenkins has managed to meld ethnic-style vocalizations, many of them exuberant and\or hauntingly beautiful, with rich Western European orchestrations in the late Romantic-to-now style. The result is a unique genre that is instantly recognizable and can be downright infectious.
There are similarities here with the "Mystery Of Bulgarian Voices" albums as released to massive impact by 4AD in the mid Eighties. It occasionally strays into mobile phone advert territory, but that's hardy Jenkins' fault.
