Album lore
Shangrila, issued in September 1994 on Ayam Visionary Art Productions, collects twelve pieces by Lex Van Someren that dwell in the meditative and new age realms. The record’s palette is composed of gentle vocalizations paired with minimalist instrumentation, evoking a tranquil atmosphere. Tracks such as “Initiation of a Mother” and “Healing Stones” underscore Van Someren’s focus on mantra and subtle tonal shifts, offering a study in calm and ritualistic sound.The album’s titles—ranging from “Tibet I” and “OM, Tibet My Home” to “Two Hermits”—point to an engagement with spiritual and healing themes. While the voice remains the primary instrument throughout, the record’s restrained arrangements allow for moments of spaciousness, inviting listeners to linger in its measured cadence. Shangrila resides quietly within the lineage of new age recordings from the early ’90s, a modest artifact for those drawn to contemplative vocal music.
