When I say that lutenist Jozef Van Wissem fuses Renaissance/Baroque with avant/ambient, you'll probably get scared. But this music has some bite to it — and some depth, too. And it's enjoyable as hell, in its oddball quirky way. Recommended to pop fans who have a hankering to connect with Early Music. Or to Early Music fans who are willing to leave that ghetto.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: While in Kathmandu comes so highly recommended by people I trust so highly — who make it sound not only absolutely delicious but also a ton of fun — that I can only urge you to get over there for its Nepalese food. My informants say especially that the cold tomato sesame sauce on the momo dumplings is very highly addictive.
