Everywhere there are gorgeous violins... and damaskine folds of shaped sound, distant forest percussion, shimmering guitars and marimbas mingling with noises like stars falling... Every way you turn, there's a new texture to entrance you, a new ring of moonbeam guitar, a new fragment of vocal rhapsody curving the air... Chills with its English pastoral beauty, sheathed over by ice... Restlessly drifting between its opulent romantic images and a dawning feeling of gaps in this sensual world... "Speak"'s little miracle is how it pinpoints that disturbing point where fantasy - the retreat into beauty - and the pull of the world outside meet and struggle, soundlessly, over the course of a life... Music for expanding spirits with at least one foot of clay.- Misfit City
