      Uman (pronounced "yoo-mahn") make music for both traveling and digging into one's surroundings, be it "Somewhere on Earth," "In the Garden of Mist," "The Way to Peace," or "On the Other Side." With You Are Here, French brother-sister duo Didier and Danielle Jean have expanded on their ambient worldbeat, adding musicians on piano and brass to Danielle's largely wordless, textured vocals and Didier's keyboard and samples. They have moved beyond 1997's Purple Passage as well, painting with a more colorful palate of styles, including bits of spoken word, jazz piano, brass, electronic beats, ethnic rhythms, and nature sounds, all while embodying a distinctly European sophistication. Fans of Lisa Gerrard and Cocteau Twins will be inspired by Uman's soundscape and will appreciate the band's preference for voyage over arrival. --Paige La Grone
