Channeling the mystical symbolism of its Chinese namesake, SpiceHouseâs wholly instrumental album, Anise Star, is synthesized from a seemingly juxtaposed, yet surprisingly congruent set of influences both ancient and modern, interpreting ecclesiastical modes with modern electronics and intertwining synthesized and organic instrumentation to create sonic architecture that leads one down dark corridors into spaces of celestial light, taking you on a orchestral journey that one critic has described as "a 23rd century symphony playing at the end of the universe."

Containing three tracks - ''The Inner Journey,' 'A Symphony of Storms' and 'The Haunting' - originally commissioned for the film 'Bushinko,' as well as nine new compositions and bonus track 'Where Have the Feelings Gone,' Anise Star shines brightly with a warm, ambient aura while still maintaining a cool edge of shamanistic mystery that lures the listener on a transcendent trek of aural exploration, again and again.

SpiceHouse's Anise Star, with more than seventy minutes of music, showcases the band's instrumental, ambient side, as opposed with their album Tomorrow is the Answer, which focuses more on SpiceHouse's trip hop and vocal compositions. With more than seventy-two minutes of music, much of Anise Star is suitable for meditation, yoga, or simple relaxation.
