        Yes. Their first CD is their best. The "language" sounds very much
like Latin or a daughter of Latin.

        I have a tape at home that I had completely forgotten about till
now. I'll have to post some info on it.
        It's called "Songs of the Kech", so something very similar. The tape
is a recording of songs of an indigenous tribe called the Kech, whose
location the author protects. The songs are working songs to religious
songs, with transcription and translation.
        The thing is, the entire trip is fictitious. The Kech and their
language are from the artist's imagination.
        Some of the music is also very pretty.

        I definitely have to dig that one up....
