Calling All Dawns was recorded at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Lucas Richman. Performers on the album include the Grammy-winning Soweto Gospel Choir, Grammy-nominated opera singer Frederica von Stade, Portuguese fado sensation Dulce Pontes, early-music quartet Anonymous 4, and Iranian singer Sussan Deyhim, J-Pop star Lia, and an ensemble of over 200 instrumentalists and singers. Calling All Dawns was recorded and mixed by three-time Grammy-winning engineer John Kurlander.

The twelve songs are sung in twelve languages. Each song flows seamlessly into the next, and the album ends on the same chord that it opens with--thereby representing the fluid, cyclical nature of the universe. It carries a strong message of unity: that regardless of race, culture and religious belief, we are all connected through our common human experience.

Where can I buy this fuck awesome album, you ask?
Well by clicking HERE (http://www.christophertin.com/store.html) of course!

Is that album that good?
Yes it is and you should feel bad for even asking that question. Buy (http://www.christophertin.com/store.html) it and you'll be forgiven.

The description sounds superb. I'll give a listen. Apparently, this is his debut album? More the reason to support him by buying the album. Thank you for sharing with us.

Indeed, it is his first album. For those who don't know him, it's the guy who did the opening song of Civilization IV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlwVsUHahPw&feature=video_response) (AKA the best song ever written for a video game :D).

i agree this is a superb album, everyone should go and buy it

Well the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra inculded , I must Listen to this CD...Thank You So Much Tigal For this Adding

Not to be a spoil sport but it appears as if this is fully available to stream on his web site. I would suggest that we not have full links to download the album because he sells reasonable price MP3 and lossless files. I think we should support an artist who has full samples on his site by having people listen to the samples there as the only purpose of posting a full album here should be to give people a preview. I am listening to the samples myself to decide if I want to support this and based on the first track I may even buy digital lossless version because its the same price as MP3.

You do have a point. Mr. Tin does have pretty lenghty samples of each track on his web page...

I've made some modifications to my original post. Your are now reading The Official Awareness Raising Thread of CALLING ALL DAWNS - The new album by Christopher Tin :D

Awesome change to this thread! I agree 100%!!
