"Samsara's Edge -- new release by main duo from the Haunted By Waters group. Great vocals with urban world/tribal Samsara's Edge backing. Picture Loop Guru, Lost at Last or Stellamara with a lot of edge, including guitar textures reminiscent of U2's guitarist Edge..." --Loyd's Picks, Backroads Music

"...when the occasional gem comes along, it's reason to rejoice...the instrumental sound is impressive...intelligent, humane, artistic songwriting is the key to Haunted By Waters." - BAM Magazine

David Hannibal and Cait McWhir were co-founding members of the popular Bay Area band world-beat/trance band Haunted by Waters before their collaboration on SAMSARA'S EDGE. Two years in the making, the 8 songs featured on the CD are an intriguing and evocative blend of multi-textured, electronic, hypnotic grooves. Vocalist Cait McWhir's trademark blend of sensuous Mid-Eastern, Celtic influenced vocals add a definite other-worldly feel to the mixes. While there's still a world music-postive flavor to many of the songs, there is something of an urban-trance flavor weaving its' way through this album.

Singer Cait McWhir, originally hailing from Ireland, draws her inspiration from years of indian and middle-eastern spiritual and vocal practices "..Cait ...is a wonderful singer with a stunningly rich and yearning voice...."(BAM Magazine)
