This
album opens with a slow, moody, melodic, beautiful, and haunting instrumental.
The next song "Will" is medium paced and uses electronics mixed with
dark haunting synths and deep male vocals. The next song "Purity" is
a little more fast paced and uses electronics a lot more. Synths can
barely be heard in the background. It's an enegetic and catchy song
with good vocals. The fourth song "Hope" is another beautiful synth
driven instrumental. It's very moody and romantic. The fifth song "Ice
Angel" has a slight synth-pop sound to it with sci-fi electronics mixed
with melodic keyboard harmonies and well sung vocals. The sixth song
"Lifetime" is a bit darker and slow paced, but still very catchy with
an excellent vocal overlaying technique that really adds to the enjoyment
of the track. The seventh song "Extinction" is yet another dark and
moody instrumental. It's beautiful, but a bit repetitive. The eighth
song "You Live In My Dreams" is extremely slow with a piano and wind
chimes creating the overall music, while the vocals are basically just
the reading of poetry. The chorus kind of livens things up a bit, and
makes the song a little more interesting. This album features extremely
well composed music and powerful singing. My only complaint here is
that there are eight songs, and only five of them actually include vocals.
But this is a minor gripe considering the overall quality of this album.
If you're a fan of beautiful dark and haunting goth music, you will
enjoy this album quite a bit.
