All,
Check out "Bardo State" ... hard to place in terms of genre. "vocal melodic chill" comes to mind.

I've heard them on a live recording that aired on BBC -- phenomenal.
Gave me goose-bumps. The orchestrations are amazing. I've heard five other studio recordings, too. Their musical style is very diverse and interesting from track to track, yet all are clearly from the same collaborative genius.
The vocals, through-out are angelic -- lush soprano with soft pure tones. I don't usually go for soprano, but this doesn't fall into the category that grates on me -- there's none of that boorish overbearing warbling... Just rich, silky smooth, and lighter-than air bliss! :-D
I'm still trying to track down where I can buy their music. There's
only one track on iTunes. :-( The rest are all spread out as singles on various compilation CD's.
It'd be great if Auralgasms picked up this artist and/or made their tracks available for purchase. Also, given that they are quite capable of live performance, I think they'd really stand out as a featured guest on Aural Bliss.
Regards,
\Leon
