It was quite awhile since i visited my local HMV shop. I was just looking around till i came across one of my favourite New Age group, Era.
I have their previous albums and they were all great. I like the fusion of traditional chants and choirs (in latin if im not wrong) with contemporary music melodies, making use of electric guitars and really cool percussion set to create some unique tracks. Eric Levi is certainly a great and talented artist.
His new album, entitled reborn has a completely different tune from his previous works. His works range from choirs and chants, to solo pieces sung in arabic and also techno/dance track pieces. Overall its a refreshing piece of album and i got it as soon as i sampled it.
You can listen to some of the sample tracks below.

El-nour fe aleaman (There’s always the light of faith)
Onshor salama fe el- donea (You are able to spread peace)
Ya lael… (Approach, night…)
Ya aen… (Approach, eyes…)
El-nour fe aleaman (There’s always the light of faith)

Lyrics to Kilimandjaro.
Don’t say you wanna a better world
Don’t say you wanna a better life
When all you do is watch TV
And listen to the promises
Don’t say you wanna a better world
Don’t say you wanna a better life
When all you do is just rely
on the progresses of science
Don’t say another word, just let me dream
And look outside
where the wind blows and the flowers grow
Where the river goes
Taking my dreams away
Just let me go
Where the rain falls and the forest cries
Since there will be no more snow in Kilamandjaro
Don’t say you wanna a better world
Don’t say you wanna breathe clean air
When all you do is drive around
In your brand new SUV
Don’t say you wanna a better world
For all the children of mankind
When all you do is just rely
on the progresses of science
Don’t say another word, just let me dream
And look outisde
where the wind blows and the flowers grow
Where the river goes
Taking my dreams away
Just let me go
Where the rain falls and the forest cries
Since there will be no more snow in Kilamandjaro
