Found this totally invigorating this morning.
Karl Jenkins has never disappointed me.
Jolly Bloody Good!

But doesn't it sound just like all his other stuff? Karl Jenkins was best as a jazz-rock saxophonist in the pioneering band Soft Machine. For me, that's where his strengths lie; not in this empty tat.

Maybe it is an empty tat and maybe Jenkins sounds the same everywhere ; yet, it was refreshing to hear the Cantus Lacrimosus and as an expression, it is pleasant whether it is strong or weak does not matter.
