When my wife and I first heard (and saw) the brilliant ZED at the Cirque du Soleil Theater Tokyo back in November, 2008 as part of CirqueCon 2008: Tokyo! we were enthralled by the beauty of the René Dupéré score.

When we heard "The World's Meet" on the Cirque compilation set "25" (Cirque du Soleil Musique CDSMCD-10030-2, 2009) we were pleased and hopeful - the song fully managed to convey the power and beauty of one of the best moments in the show with a great arrangement and a stirring chorus finale. -
