Etherea as substance? OK, maybe this isn't all etherea, but there's certainly a common musical theme of chilled, lush melodies, instrumental hypnotism and vocal beauty running through this entire soundtrack. A combination of electronica and sweet organic instrumentation, this blend of pop, ambient, new age, subtle trip-hop, downtempo and more is beauty in the tangible form of affecting music. Pretty seems a weak word but it can hardly be helped that it comes to mind when contemplating Aurah's offering. And my what a fine name for a fine artist and that artist's fine album. For truly there is an aura, thick yet cloudy, smooth, wispy yet substantial - the mind-capturing, soul-encapsulating gorgeousness of this aural endeavor is inescapable.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
