With „Mystic Fire“ Lex has created a new juwel among his many CDs. An aesthetic piece of art of great serenity. The warmth, transparence and expressive power of Lex´ non-verbal vocals and choiring in combination with an intriguing expansive instrumentation awaken a mood of reverence and awe. Gentle flowing melodies are building an ever deepening contrast with powerful sounds and rhythms. Especially in the song „Celtic Dream“ - a highlight of this album - these contrasts are leading to a breathtaking musical experience.
With a singing voice which has gained new qualities in its spectrum and expression, Lex van Someren guides us through different worlds of aspiration. This music evokes a relaxed state of heightened awareness.
