The St. Louis Post-Dispatch called it the most beautiful music on the planet and it seems they're not the only ones who feel this way.
When publications review Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares (The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices), words like "wonderful," "unforgettable" and "breathless" are often emphatically used.

OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
