Lesiem's MYSTIC SPIRIT VOICES introduced listeners to the group's fascinating blend of Gregorian chant and contemporary world beat textures. ILLUMINATION picks up exactly where the last album left off - if you enjoyed their first outing, the sequel will not let you down. In a similar vein as groups like Amethystium and early Enigma, Lesiem incorporates gothic choral chants into soundscapes comprised of downtempo beats, keyboard flourishes and moody atmospheres. Occasional rock and ethnic touches are applied in places, resulting in songs like "Roma" and "Poeta," which are both dramatic and ethereal.
