There is so much to love about Nomad, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Self-described as New Age with lots of words, Nomad comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Nomad energies, virtually a rebirth. One of Nomad’s best albums yet.
The Xiedun Festival is the first taste of the new album. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Echoes from Shangrila. This song is dynamic and dramatic. After few listenings I started to like The Gesang Flower more and more. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Nomad. Vocals of Nomad in Om Ma Nei Hung really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Pearls From Heaven motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Wei Sang.
