Fruit from the forest of dreams. The long-hidden tapes of early No-Man studio sessions finally get a full CD release, and reveal themselves as bewitchingly atmospheric: fragments of stories, brittle log-drum percussion, haunting slow-arching melodies, organic instrumentation blending seamlessly with gauzy electronic soundscapes, yearning tone-poems, and the hair rising blissfully on the back of your neck. Covers of Nick Drake ("Pink Moon") and Donovan ("River Song") anchor one side of "Speak" to visionary English folk, and you could use "Gone To Earth", "In A Silent Way" or "Spirit Of Eden" as landmarks, but this is off on its own. One of the most beautiful records ever released. In any genre.
