On Vol 2 the womens voices combine in a haunting mixture of harshness and purity, the very opposite of the Western notion of a ladies' choir although many of them were, in fact, members of the Women's Chorus of Bulgarian State Radio. nation, but shaped and refined over the years by the singers themselves, working with some of Bulgaria's leading composers. Easily as good as the original 4AD release.
