Outside of the group's live shows, there MUST be a time and a place for Cirque du Soleil's new-age, world-fusion, hypno-music -- in other words, there's gotta be a reason to own one of their recordings. But I'll be damned if I can name that reason.

"O" is a typical example: beautifully orchestrated (with a plethora of unusual and varied instruments from around the globe), distinct, maybe even fascinating -- but utterly unsuitable accompaniment for human activity -- any activity, that is, beyond attending a Cirque du Soleil show.
