With
this CD you get an 80 page poetry book written by Cyrnai with some nice
artwork to go along with it. This is a nice package if you are into
this kind of thing. I myself only care about the music. Well, I am personally
not that impressed with it. The music is very ambient and spacey with
a mystical sci-fi vibe to it. It plays at a medium pace keeping it from
putting you to sleep, but it's still not that exciting or creative.
I really expected some beautiful female singing to be included in these
songs, but instead Cyrnai basically just recorded various spoken word
and altered it and added it into her music. So instead of her singing
with melody and harmony, she basically just talks. This makes the songs
drag along. They are boring. The music doesn't change a lot from track
to track. It's layered with a lot of different sound effects and beautiful
synth melodies, but I still find it rather dull and drab without ever
pulling me in. There are a lot more instrumentals than I expected here
as well. While the talking voice isn't the greatest, it does add something
to the songs that seems to be lacking when there isn't any vocals at
all. There is not a lot of variety in the music here. I couldn't really
tell when one song had ended and another had begun. There is an overall
soft and beautiful mood to this music that some people might find appealing.
I am sure that artistic people into poetry and spoken word will love
it.
