River of Stars
Fans ofEnya,Adiemus, andSecret Gardenwill find much to enjoy in Pamela and Randy Copus's new CD. Using a cosmic synth, harp, guitar, and flute mixed with light, airy vocals, this duo create music for the new millennium, appropriate for yoga, massage, relaxation, or a nightly bubble bath. Pamela Copus's flute work is particularly enchanting; she plays with gentle emotion and avoids the saccharine. The strongest cuts feature vocals, flute, and strings, and the Copuses combine them for a heavenly, soothing musical glow.River of Starsisn't for everyone, but for those more metaphysically inclined, it's a fine follow-up to their popularLand of Forever.--Karen K.
