Customer Reviews of Ecology of Souls

Don't know what you're missing!
I bought Ecology of Souls years ago while
visiting San Francisco's Amoeba Records and it
was one of the best items I picked up. This
effort would come under the ethno-ambient label
and I've heard quite a bit of this kind of music,
made popular by the likes of Steve Roach, Robert Rich
and others. The market did reach a saturation point
though and a lot of what was coming out was starting
to sound the same; as a result, I moved away from
buying much of it. I can't say that all of Mr. Newby's
efforts are of the same caliber, but Ecology of Souls
was a strong and rewarding effort (for me and I hope
Mr. Newby!). It's simply a wonderful and mysterious sounding
cd with a real sense that one has penetrated some deep
jungle and encountered the rarely seen but often whispered
about. That kind of feeling. Otherwise, there is a rich
tapestry of instruments to lead the ear into its sense
of the ancient and the unknown. There's just something
special about this album for me that is otherwise not
easy to express. I recommend it for those into ethnic,
ambient, ethno-ambient music - even those who may have grown
shy of it over the years. It's an original offering that
defies an easy catagory or comparison, yet is confident
in its power to convey its power.
