Intoxicating .......2004-11-11

Another superior effort by these extremely talented musicians. Ethos creates a rhythmic "summit" of many times and cultures in a way that reinforces the unifying force of percussion as our first form of expression and communication. The performers connect with each other in a way that is so seamless, we are left to enjoy in respectful admiration, the product of their gifts.

A Wonderful Rhythmic Dance.......2000-03-28

I kept having to remind myself that this was a percussion-only performance. The listener is never disappointed as Ethos weaves a pulsing fabric upon which free rhythmic exploration can, and does, occur. Always inviting and accessible, we are given such a rich layered dialogue upon which to respond. I rated this performance 4 out of 5 only in hopes that Ethos will continue to perfect the happiness they create. A very strong entre for a group of talented percussionists. I can easily imagine a wonderful film score or vocal collaboration from this ensemble in the near future. Congratulations!
