    It's magical and mysterious, compelling and complex.

    Sounds like one long song of wheezing harmonium and heavily echoed, slightly out-of-tune vocals.
  3. Uncut

    Slower than slow, softer than soft, the songs acquire an accumulative resonance. [Dec 2001, p.116]

    Sandoval has a voice quite unlike almost any other and perfectly suited to stark, narcoleptic laments, which is what this, with a couple of curious-if-brief instrumental diversions, delivers on a regular basis.
