Full review

Imagined Oceans is a brilliant selection of Music by Karl Jenkins, so before I say anything else I would recommend it to everyone to listen to at least some of the Tracks if not all.
The Tracks on imagined Oceans are named after the Seas on the moon (Not that their are any real liquid seas on the moon but imagined ones by early astronomers looking up at the moons dark patches). Each tracks Music is meant to say somthing about the name of the sea or the area of the moon.
The Ensemble accompanying the Music is the 'Karl Jenkins Ensemble' which creates a Harmonious background for the soloists; Pamela Thorby gives an excellent perfomance on the Recorder and Three Solo Singers Sarah Eyden, Micaela Haslam and Heather Cairncross sing the melody brilliantly.
One thing I didn't realise untill I listened to the CD again was that the lyrics are in fact syllables from the titles. (Karl Jenkins in his Adiemus Series invents text for the Lyrics).
If you have finished listening to all the Adiemus CD's then Buy this as it has more Songs in the same style as Adiemus.
I personaly thought it was a very good buy and recommend it to everyone who likes New Age/Classical/Pop Music.
