Shine: Operatica (2002)

Buy from Amazon.com

This is the second album in a series combining electronic music with opera performance. When Lord Vanger saw "The 5th Element" by Luke Besson, he was really amazed by the episode where Diva sings to the accompaniment of techno music. Then he decided to unite opera and electronic music together. The first Vanger's album "Operatica O - Vol. One" released autumn 2000 was an example of totally new music style and became the classics of the genre soon. The second album "Operatica: Shine" expands the bounds of this genre by including Eastern tunes, Iranian vocal, Persian folk song "Kokab", and even aria "Mon Amour" performed by selfsame Diva from "The 5th Element". All of this, with addition of Chinese influences, produce the striking kaleidoscope of the classics and electronica.
