Based on the theme of Cyprus, an isolated island in the Mediterranean Sea, this album features a selection of new age electronics that are the most ethnic in the series. A total of 10 tracks, ranging from percussive exoticism number, to pieces that sound like the Mediterranean breeze gently blowing through, to exotic number. You can't go wrong with this series.
