Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Deep and beautiful - gothic new ageAn exciting collaboration between two highly accomplished visionary artist. Operating in the field you could call gothic new age, beautiful and spiritual and at the same time open to the darker regions of the mind (and the world). Klaus S. is of course a master sculptor of soundscapes. Lisa Gerrard has quite simply a stunning voice and a stunning technical mastery: sounding at times like a Wagnerian heroine, a Middle East belly dancer or a new age goddess. That all vocals are being spontaneous improvisations is quite simply an amazing achivement, showing her openess to higher influences. Suited for meditation, fantasy journeys, explorations of inner space. Rating:  - A dreamy combinationNow this is one of those magical musical phenomena. This is Klaus doing his stuff, not dissimilar to what we have heard him do before. This is Lisa doing her stuff, not dissimilar to what we have heard her doing before. But together? A case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. A very special set. At over 150 minutes long you could argue you are getting too much of a good thing but it only allows you to drift away for longer. This is a special piece of music. I bought it at a special time too and it will always bring me back to where I am now. Highly recommended. Rating: - Keep listening to enjoyWasn't so keen at first, but this album has grown and grown on me. Like a lot of Schulze stuff you have to force yourself to listen at first. At first I thought it was a bit twee and there were too many chord changes thrown around trying to fit it to Lisa's vocals, but after a while I forgot about that. Its an uncanny/uneasy mix of ultra modern and ancient ambience, but after a while it really does seem to work. One of his best in my opinion. I'm not sure the artists gel well together (should they?), and to me the Schulze rhythms dominate with Gerrards powerful voice playing a seperate strand, possibly like the rhythms were stuck on afterwards and the voices moved to match the rhythms. Despite this, the seperate musical ...

Why? dont get me wrong i LOVE ambient music, but this cd is nothing more than ANYONE could create using a pc. If you want boring, fall asleep to, entertain guests with cd on while not really listening to it music - then its for you. Buy stuff by Eno, buy the KLF - Chillout album, by Harold Budd or Tangerine Dream. But SORRY Klaus Schulze & Lisa Gerard are just totally awful on THIS cd. Hope the next album improves matters. Rating:  - ContemplativeThis is a long work at more than two and a half hours. The mood is led, primarily, by the voice of Lisa Gerrard which is frequently contemplative. This means that the music of Klaus Schulze is often a back drop to the mood created by the voice. I am a great fan of both artists but I think I would have liked to hear Klaus take the lead occassionally and let Lisa follow him. Probably not something I would sit down and listen to the whole way through due to the similarity of some of the music. Indeed the impact may have been greater if this had been a single disc with just the first three tracks. I might then have been left waiting for another album that might have explored different moods. |
