by Mars Lasar
****1/2
 Composer
and musician Mars Lasar has created something quite unique
and distinctive by combining ancient Middle Eastern instruments
with current electronic technology. The CD album Karma
is a rich and complex offering of lush orchestration, chanting,
nature sounds, piano, chiming bells, angelic voices, percussion,
in addition to African, Arabic and Indian instruments. Rarely
have I come across an album with so much to give the New Age
listener. Mars has brought together a fusion of old world
and new world like no one that I have heard before.
In addition to nice solid melodies, Mars
Lasar has imaginatively used sound effects and non-traditional
sounds to serve up many emotions in this musical feast. They
range from melancholy to joyful and from passionate to peaceful.
There really is a little something for almost anyone's musical
tastes on the CD album Karma.
