What helps to set
Trance Planet, a collection of world music and artists, apart from other collections of world music is not that
Tom Schnabel, a pioneer of world music radio programming, has compiled a four-star introduction to the new and established world music artists such as
Ali Akbar Khan and
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The difference is that
Schnabel has compiled music with a common musical theme, a similar timbre. Each piece seems to flow together, making listening an uninterrupted musical journey. The 14 pieces by 14 different artists, which also includes
Vox and
The Tahitian Choir, prove music is our one common language.
