"Origin" by Mystic Measures (Ambient Artist from New Mexico(NM))

Mystic Measures reminds you that not all music has to be compressed, auto-tuned, and popular. Their debut album "Origin" is a creative mix of native tribal music merging with some light, Techno synth sounds. The combination of keyboard loops, flute, and tribal drum beats makes for a calming listening experience. Each song is longer than your usual tracks, giving each composition time to unfold and capture the essence of the melodic and interesting melodies. The album opens with "Soul Seeker," a strong track utilizing robust native drums, keyboards, and a piccolo range flute. The last track "Gypsy" also utilizes other instruments like wind chimes as this complements the rhythmical beats. While each musician sounds talented on "Origin," Jim Kinney records an admirably skillful native flute performance. Fans of Techno-Tribal variations will thoroughly enjoy listening to the outstanding music on the CD "Origin."
