After finding Garden of Mirrors in the back of the book Deserts of Africa, hardly a month goes by without listening to this excellet recording. Calling it country/folk hardly describes the atmosphere created by this album. Night Cicle sends shivers down my spine and reminds me of desert nights around a camp fire in the great Nubian desert. Try this excellent album, but if hesitant just listen to Mad Bird and imagine a migrating falcon playing in desert winds at dusk with old Sudanese pryamids as a backdrop.Was actually recorded in 1995-6.

Stephan Micus is an eclectic performer. He builds esoteric walls of sound with offbeat ethnic instruments and devices. The Garden of Mirrors is a set of gentle pieces constructed largely around acoustic sounds and simple percussion. Wordless chants carry the strange atmospheres to the edges of reality. At those distant points Micus shines. Such is the stature of an experimental artist. Just when Micus seems to be as far out as he can go, he stretches the limits some more. These delightful soundscapes waver between world fusion and avant-garde. There is not a lot of dissonance. This disc will appeal to fans of Terry Riley, Alvin Curran, Polly Moller, and Jocelyn Pook. – Jim Brenholts
