Ataraxia is an Italian neo-classical band who combine modern technology with archaic instrumentation over various media. They describe their music as a cross "between sacred and profane, ethereal and neo-classical, contemporary and early music".
They make researches into the European legends crossing the Greek and Latin myths. Contemplation, dreamy experiences, elegiac atmospheres, ritual movements float in a mysterious garden where contemporary textures of notes meet the embracing echo of classic sounds.
Their lyrics are written in many ancient and contemporary languages as they try to bring to surface the hidden treasures and revelations that each language owns. Many of their performances take place in locations the band professes to possess specific spiritual qualities.

Nice one Margot.
It's completely different to anything else I have in the collection, and it's a direction I'm going to have to explore a bit by the sound of things. :-)

Not my favourite Ataraxia but nine none the less. I appreciate honoring the request.
Richard-- check out Dead Can Dance (of course), Stoa, Elijah's Mantle, Ronan Quays, etc..
