Producer Leon Erasmus recorded several choirs and vocal ensembles at his Mega Music Warehouse studio in Johannesburg, South Africa, before local politics forced him to close its doors at the end of the 1990s. The collective known as the Hlabalela Ensemble worked on these traditional sounding -- but completely modern -- tracks at Mega, and while the results are mixed, each cut features a huge, well-recorded vocal sound backed by spare (but booming) percussion. Unfortunately, the sound and engineering of these recordings end up being more interesting than the actual choral pieces themselves. ~ Steve Leggett
