"Once more Steven Severin has surprised me. This album is masterpiece full of mysterious drones and feelings. The repetitiveness of the songs only increase the scenario of solitude and Jarboe's version of Screamin' Jay's "I put a spell on you" displays the demented chanteuse at her witchiest best. I still need to read the romance (i will never be able to see the ballet to which this soundtrack was comissioned) to get deeper into its psychology. One of the strongest albums in digital music (or dark ambience, or whatever you may want to call it) of the last years."
