Beth Quist - Shall We Dance (Magnatune.com, World)

Plugged as "electro-Balkan/Indian meets New Age". This one is much more New Age and much less Balkan/Indian than her Silver album, and I enjoyed it a bit more as a result, but it was still a bit too repetitive in too many places to make it really enjoyable. Some tracks were downright tedious, although I didn't skip past any, which is an improvement. And a couple of tracks were just odd. Anyway, the performance and recording quality was fine, and certainly up to Magnatune's standards, and if Lucidity is as much better than Shall We Dance that SWD was over Silver, it might actually be good. (We'll probably find out about that pretty soon, too.)
