Mythos

Canadian duo Mythos synthesize dance beats, various world musics, and new age sensibilities in a manner akin to an Enigma or Deep Forest. Bob D'Eith (keyboards) and Paul Schmidt (guitar) grew up in Vancouver, both receiving classical training on their respective instruments; the result was their Juno-nominated, Canada-only 1997 debut, Introspection.

With over an hour of music, this self-titled recording includes the best of the previously released album Introspection plus seven new tracks.
