Nierika Review

07/13/2005 6:22 AM, AMG


Nierika is a set of electro-tribal ambience from Jorge Reyes. This release also includes two pieces from Ek-Tunkel. Reyes performs on acoustic ethnic instruments as he has on his pre-Columbian releases. He augments those sounds with guitars, synthesizers, atmospheres, and processors. The soundscapes are still deeply inspirational. Reyes is the shaman's shaman and he constantly incorporates his personal spirituality into his sound world. Deep listeners will become deep meditators; deep meditators will enter the zone with Reyes. He has been flirting with the perpendicular universe for years. This CD will appeal to fans of Luis Paniagua, Harald Grosskopf, Steve Roach, Vidna Obmana, and Suso Saiz. It is difficult to find and it is a collector's item. ~ Jim Brenholts, All Music Guide
