The Moors highly-acclaimed CD features Sharynne MacLeod NicMhacha (Vocals, woodwinds, strings, percussion) and Scott Dakota (wide-range fretless guitar, loops and electronic treatment, percussion). They present original and traditional songs which combine Celtic, medieval and modern music in a unique and unforgettable electronic and Otherworldy setting, drawing on the trance-inducing and consciousness-altering properties of overtones, featuring primal percussion and haunting winds and vocals.
The Moors CD has received airplay all over the United States, as well as in Canada, Britain, Scotland, France, Germany, Belgium, Chile, Israel and Hong Kong. It was voted Best CD of the Year by the Noise Magazine upon its release, and received rave reviews across the board, in numerous magazines and websites nation-wide.
