Adiemus III: Dances of Time is the third release from the 'Adiemus Project' led by Welsh Producer Karl Jenkins. The third effort is (in my opinion) just as good if not slightly better than the original because it derives most of its songs from ALL sorts of music. From jazz to latin, tribal to waltz and even polka. There's a little something for everyone.

The casual or easy music listener, for fans of New Age music or simply anyone willing to try something new and different from the popular music out there.

The different genres and experimentation of music. I was pleasantly surprised at the waltz ("Ein Wiener Walzer (A Viennese Waltz)") and my absolute favorites would have to be: "Dawn Dancing" (a haunting melody that reminds me of 'swans' dancing in a ballet production) and "Hymn to the Dance" (same as above) and the uplifting and great tempo of "Rain Dance". Wonderful tunes!

Nothing really. I've simply worn out my CD with playing it so many times I need to get a new one.

Re-listen to it again as well as 'Songs of Sanctuary' -one also in my collection.

Inspired.

London Philharmonic Orchestra
Karl Jenkins - Conductor
Adiemus Singers
Miriam Stockley - Lead Vocals
Pamela Thorby - Recorders and Gemshorn
Jody Jenkins - Electro-acoustic Percussion

It is the perfect companion piece to 'Songs of Sanctuary' and 'Cantata Mundi' and it's bound to have you tapping your feet or humming in tune to the songs. You won't be able to get them out of your head for days!

Overall, this is an enjoyable CD and one that should be considered a classic. Definitely a must-get.
