this -is- the one I was trying to but couldn't find, and now apparently un-available. All I had previously heard were 30 second samples, then it was dropped from online CD sales. By track 14 I was starting to wonder if this was it after all. Finally there it was, track 15 is the one I had thought stood apart, most basic 2 voice male-female acapella harmony, no instruments. Intriguing melody from another place and time. Having no idea what the lyrics translate to in english adds to an unexplainable mystique. It would be interesting to know more about who is singing and what if any other recordings of them exist, and hear other works like this.

thanks again, VB
That is a cool track! Your experience/analysis really brought this track to life for me.
I'll try and find some more information for you about this.
