A second post (post new blogskin)~!
This is indeed a historical moment. An event that is indeed life changing. An incident which pales the colossal Colossus of Rhodes, and even dwarfs the great Lighthouse of Alexandria! I have here, another blog (it's now run by a monkey)~!
*well, if you think I’m over exaggerating, I’m not. After all, the colossus, AND the lighthouse are already crumbled and are archaeological rubble. So there. My blog shadows over rubble! (grins)*

Another thing to add is that this blog, like my other blog(s) of the past, will very soon be relegated into the depths of un-updated blogging-cyberspace-dark-vortex-hell as i procrastinate. Always. With regards to updating my blog. And everything else.

Anyways, for formality purposes, I’ll be nice, and spare any readers (which i seriously doubt would be existent) the agonizing torture of ploughing through this long and lengthy introductory second post. I shall leave you all with one of the more inspiring (not to mention epic) sounding sounds *to rejuvenate your soul from my dry entry. see! i'm merciful! :D*

I present to you, adiemus by adiemus, from their 1995 album, songs of sanctuary.

The songs by Adiemus are collection of song-length pieces that uniquely presents singing voices accompanied by the orchestra in the background. An interesting mention, is that the lyrics in songs by Adiemus generally do not exist and are mostly self created. In addition to that, the lyrics are created in order to not distract our listening and attention from the overall feel of the song (like most current mainstream music, where lyrics actually play a more central role). After all, the core concept of Adiemus is to utilize the voice as an instrument, and not anything more.
