This is one of the best albums I have ever heard, not only is it well recorded, but the technicallity of the musicianship is second to none. Ishmael Lo is truely one of the best musicians in the world today, however he is greatly underappreciated. Buy this album, and any of his other, and I garentee you will be pleasently surprised. The songs, while I cannot understand the words, are beautiful, melodic, and in general genius. The only negative thing I can say is that there is a duet sung with Marian Faithful of 60's rolling stones fame. I am not a fan of hers. I also own a number of his other albums, but have enjoyed this one the most. Buy it.
