Svante Henryson's Enkidu sets his emotive cello playing in an atmospheric, electric backdrop for an intriguing study in contrasts.

Musically, this translates into epic electronics and stark cellos -- a very different approach to world music that combines folklore, electronica and rock. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
