Aurah is a perfect name for this band. For the moment you hit play, the listener is surrounded by a palpable atmosphere of ethereal beauty (yeah, the CD title is appropriate, too). Lovely currents of melody expressed with a mixture of organic and electronic flavors wash over you as seductive and pleasing vocals weave throughout the stratosphere of Aurah's lush, absorbing music. "Etherea Borealis" is an uberpretty slice of vocal ambient, a fine dish of chillout warmth (yeah, I know it's an oxymoron but it's true). This is music in which it's easy to become enveloped and enmeshed. And while it doesn't have the depth of texture possessed by some top shelf chillout, it's still a solid, enjoyable release. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
