"For all their influence on western popular music and advertising, the world famous choir with the unwieldy name here celebrate 25 years with an austerely beautiful and uncompromising affirmation of their commitment to Bulgarian song, folklore and the enduring power of seasonal ritual ... Where the choir has previously pursued modern artifice and fusion, here they present a simple, powerful and sacred expression of their beautiful source material. There is no need for embellishment or trickery. And while the resulting album may not be of particular interest to Bauhaus fans this time around, it should prove compelling listening for all lovers of traditional Bulgarian music".
