Adiemus--Karl Jenkins

[buckeyegrad]

Okay, so I am not the most informed person when it comes to music. Truth be told, Christian Praise and traditional Celtic is the only type music I listen to on a semi-routine basis.

Anyway, I recently discovered the music of Karl Jenkins and his Adiemus collection and was wondering if it was worth purchasing. I've listed to a few samples on-line and like what I hear so far. I especially enjoy how he uses the voice as an instrument rather than as a means to communicate a verbal message (a big help as I struggle to understand lyrics of 90% of the songs out there--a big reason why I listen to so little of contemporary music).

If anyone one is a fan of this collection or Karl Jenkins do you recommend a particular album in the collection with which to begin or are they meant to be listened to in a particular order?

never heard of the guy, but I'd say if you find yourself enjoying it, chance are you'll like whatever happens to be in his catalog. Musicians don't routinely change their entire genre from one album or song to the next.
