Comments

Another successful fusion of Gregorian chant and electronic dance music, including tracks in Russian and Japanese. I thought "Credo" and "Celestia Organa" stood out as particularly good tracks, though the album as a whole is great. The only way it suffers is though comparison with Magna Canta's previous album Enchanted Spirits, which feels more adventurous - I suspect it would have been difficult to match the high standard set by that album at any rate, and Sanctuary is an excellent album in its own right.
