- Perhaps you should check out Bel Canto. They have three albums
- out; in chronological order: _White Out Conditions_, _Birds Of
- Passage_, and _Shimmering, Warm & Bright_. _BOP_ is a good place to
- start if you want ethereal; the new album is just a bit more uptempo,
- although IMHO "Mornixuur" is the most beautiful song they've ever
- done. Anneli Drecker (sp. from memory) is a breathtaking vocalist.

- Good luck,
