Like the Dust Album Cover

"...when the occasional gem comes along, it's reason to rejoice...the instrumental sound is impressive...intelligent, humane, artistic songwriting is the key to Haunted By Waters." - BAM Magazine

"...multi-textured, pop/world beat. A kinder, mellower Haight for the `90s: incubation over revolution, musical instruction over wigged-out improvisation..." - Option Magazine (5-6/1996, p.111)

Haunted By Waters is a group of talented bay area musicians and artists who have created an exciting and powerful blend of music, which is truly cross-cultural. They conjure up a gorgeous blend of world-influenced styles in this debut CD. Fusing together driving rhythms, soaring synth sounds, sensuous Celtic & Mid Eastern inspired vocals, woven into a compelling blend of textured guitars, bass, synths, electric violin, didgeridoo & tin whistle. Combined with powerful rhythms and exotic percussion instruments, the result is a mesmerizing sound, which crosses the boundaries of culture and time.

Haunted By Waters produced this album with a vision to bring together elements from different cultures and eras, to create a new dimension in contemporary music- one that celebrates a spirit of unity and diversity. Like the Dust is a unique album which celebrates spirit, unity and diversity. The music of Haunted By Waters is built on a primal and infectious rhythmic background of Middle Eastern, African, and Celtic rhythms and percussion. Weaving in lush vocals, rich melodies and harmonies, and sensuous electronic textures, Haunted By Waters create a progressive, entrancing world sound. Add fretless electric bass, textural and distorted electric guitars, acoustic guitar, synth and sampled sounds, as well as didgeridu, tin whistle, conch shell, electric violin, and flute and you have a powerful, evocative sound in the same vein as Loreena McKennitt, Enigma, and Dead Can Dance. At once ancient and futuristic, seamlessly combining a galaxy of diverse influences and instrumentation into a cohesive and moving soundscape.More Information
