    For fans of Enya, Iona, and Enigma, sToa's Zal is a relaxing, haunting combination of classic lyrical poetry (from James Joyce, William Shakespeare, and William Blake, among others) sung in swooning melodies above mesmerizing piano/string/synthesizer orchestrations. Enjoy by the light of some scented candles with a bubble bath, bon bons, or your favorite General Foods International Coffee.
