I dug it out with Mirror Pool (Needed to hear Sanvean again... it's on the UK Immunisation advert) and was surprised at myself for forgetting what a strong album it is.
It's much better than Mirror Pool in consistancy, and although it doesn't have anything as beautiful as Sanvean ( One of my favourite tracks ever ), it still manages to move me.
Although Gerrard doesn't often sing in English, her voice portrays emotion more than any other vocalist I've heard.
She's been compared with the Cocteau Twins vocalist, Fraser, but I think this does Gerrard a great injustice who's voice, although not traditional for a female vocalist, is much more powerful and distinctive.
Everyone who reviews this always picks up on Sacrifice, but it's no surprise when it's such a strong track. The Human Game is the most easily accessible track on the album for first time listeners and i'm surprised not to have heard it on an TV programme in the UK who always dig out Gerrard/DCD for those harrowing or spooky cemetry moments.
Admittedly, this isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. It's not dance/chart friendly ( for that look towards Delerium who have sampled Persian Love Song from Mirror Pool on their album Karma ) in the slightest and it's definitely one of those albums that is incredibly reflective and will be a cult classic for those in know for years to come. What the industry term as a slow burner I believe.
