Classically-trained violinist Shane O'Madden exotically and masterfully blends Middle-Eastern, Indian, Celtic and Spanish music on O EARTHLY GODS. O'Madden also performs on acoustic guitar, viola and percussion and Oliver Rajamani contributes the beat on the track "All is Bliss.". Layers of soulful chant vocals and ambient, trance-type rhythms draw their influence from artists such as Dead Can Dance and Bjork. Also deeply personal, this album has O'Madden's late grandmother doing voice samples on "Diva Dora My Grandma," and the hypnotic "Lullaby for Bella" is dedicated to his daughter, Analeia Bella. Each of the twelve tracks can stand alone, yet all create an exhilarating, exciting spiritual mysticism.
