PHOBOSMUSIC Links and Reviews

The self-titled album, composed by Mark Adams Allison with Anne Lai and Aco Takenaka on vocals, combines a myriad of chants from across the globe into an upbeat and moody production. The first track Soul of Desire sounds very much like Enigma, with it's breathy female vocals. Earth Ritual features strong African chanting and some vocoder effects. Bol Taan takes us to India with its concentration on sitar and tablas. Although described as a 'new age' group, Phobos is not because of the groovy electronics and the heavy drum rhythms that permeate the entire album. Be sure to check out Allison's other, arguably better, project: Spirit Level. Thanks to Mitchell Press for providing info about this group.
