We are waiting for more news of a new project from Paul Schwartz, the creator of Aria and Aria 2: New Horizon, which is in stores now. A reader writes, "I just heard this really beautiful CD and wanted to spread the word. Paul Schwartz, the guy who created Aria and Aria 2: New Horizon (also excellent albums), created another masterpiece. It features a singer named Lisbeth Scott. I never heard of her before but man sakes can she belt out a tune. I don't think there is a website for the album,
or at least I couldn't find one, but you can listen to a bit of the
music on Amazon.com. I hope you appreciate the tip and enjoy the music."
State of Grace, the album, is another unique ambient crossover of ethereal vocals, electronic grooves and lush orchestrals, but this time sans the classic arias. Paul Schwartz delves into original material and some vibrant and hip renditions of traditional tunes that are brought to life by the pop sensibility and depth of Lisbeth Scott's extraordinary voice. Fresh musical characteristics intensify the original masterpieces to provide a thrill for the heart, soul and mind. State of Grace is a sumptuous mixture of sounds, which transcends many styles to become a colossal musical adventure.

PREVIOUS NEW AGE CD REVIEWS
Alan Campbell's Choice:
Paradise
Narada recording artists Tingstad & Rumbel are performer/composers who have been presenting their
contemporary folk music throughout North America since the mid-'80s. Eric Tingstad, a classical guitarist,
and Nancy Rumbel, who plays oboe, English horn, and ocarina, began their association after meeting at a
music festival in the Pacific Northwest. They were drawn together by a shared interest in applying their
instruments outside their traditional settings, integrating ethnic, jazz, rock, and other contemporary
influences into their classical backgrounds. Their neo-classical instrumentals mixed with a warm folk
treatment has been called "Northwestern Impressionism" and brought the attention of new age label
Narada who released their holiday-themed album, The Gift, in 1985. Extensive touring throughout small
towns in the U.S. and Canada built an avid fan base, expanding their exposure to new and more diverse
audiences.
