Tibet2Timbuk2: Music is Life
"intensely hypnotic and enchanting... a combination of Africa, India and Tibet, that... has resulted in a musical masterpiece... relaxed, yet energising; ambient yet vigorous... something of interest in every bar, and even after having played it many times, I keep finding something new to listen to."
-Mike Raine,
