"I'm not going to give you a track by track analysis. However I will help you understand enough to decide if you want to buy this CD or not.



There's a bit of everything ethereal in this CD. You can hear a lot of the Cocteau Twins DNA in their musical choices and reminders of Fairground Attraction (what F.A. should've been with their music). The songs are mostly slow, pensive and wonderful for long drives alone. You won't be struggling to like this CD as the melodies are easy on the ear like aural honey. I found myself listening to "my hands up" over and over, experiencing some kind of neo-religious state.



Her vocals are very unique... she does a bit of a volume cut off inbetween syllables. Some may say it makes for lyrical babble, but I think her vocals are as much an instrument as the bass or guitar. If people wanted to hear clear pronounciations of words, maybe they should buy a phonetics CD instead. Her voice is very tender and you could say it has arms wide open wanting to hold you, to give you warmth and comfort.



I'm relatively new to their music but comparing this album to their last album, the songs on this album do a lot more reaching out to the listener - experience-wise."
