Artists often want to share a vision of world peace through their music, yet many independent musicians fail to do this without sounding saccharine and contrived. Xcultures entry into this arena, One World One People, succeeds fairly well, bringing together voice and New Age synth sounds with modern 4/4 beats and ethnic instrumentation. Unlike other artists Xcultures doesn't sound too terribly cheesy, mixing West African drumming with Moroccan chanting, Scottish low whistle with Senegalese vocals. Make no mistake, this is still New Age music with panpipes and thick synth, but Brian Wayy's vision has a dark ethereal aspect that takes itself seriously. Therefore, it resembles the work of Deep Forest while transcending the squeaky clean sound of Adiemus. One-third of the royalties from the CD's sales will be donated to combat world hunger. A decent world-groove CD with fat beats. --Karen K. Hugg

 One World, One People: Music for a humble cause November 27, 2006
This CD was prepared for a good cause and one I will always support to feed the starving children around our planet. This album had a uplifting message as well within its music and that was 'One World, One People'. It is music that is trying to unite the plethora of humankind. And that is a notable and noble thing. The 13 tracks were composed, produced and arranged by Brian Wavy and his work is a polished and enterprising gem.
Whether it is in your CD-ROM, DVD player, or in your car you can listen to enigmatic, ambience, eclectic and indulgent cultures around the world. From the deserts of Africa, to the waterfalls of the Amazon, from the isles of Greece to the emporiae of Asia, you get the native instrumentals, voices and languages of the world arranged and composited so perfectly on one CD.
I don't want to go into every song. There is much flavour and moods in this album for everyone to enjoy. A peice of the world at your fingertips. And for a noble cause.
 Great CD!!!! September 1, 2000

I've had the chance to listen to this cd several times where I work and no doubt, it's garned alot of reaction.However, when people continually ask me "Is this Enigma?" or "Is this Deep Forest?" or "Is this B-tribe?" depending on what track is playing as it borrows samples from each of the above mentioned artists, I can't imagine anyone calling this "original". There was at least one sample from every popular world/ambient act around somewhere on this album - therefore each track sounded like someone else. Spoken female voices, pygmies, monks, dance grooves and even some flamenco guitars - yes, they're all on here! Despite the fact that this album is indeed very cliche', it's quite enjoyable on the whole and I've heard far worse attempts at this style of music. I can certainly guarantee that you won't get bored listening to it so because this is one of the better albums of this genre (I mean after all, I do like it better than say Era) I'll go ahead and give it 4 stars. There really isn't much else to say about this album, because there isn't anything on here that hasn't already been done before. So basically, if you like Enigma, Waterbone, Deep Forest and B-tribe this should be right up your alley.
