    Duncan Sheik, one of music's hidden treasures, has seamlessly mended an extraordinary acoustic album which echoes the soulful yearning of the folk era of the 70's combined with a shimmering atmosphere of solitude completely seperate from today's ostentatiously homogenous music industry. Without a doubt, ''Phantom Moon'' is the best album of 2001, as well as one of my all-time favorites.… Expand

    It is one of the best albums of his that I have heard, and I have heard them all. I believe that he should get more recognition for his obvious talent

    Haunting melodies, unexpected harmonies, deep feeling, and gorgeous overall effect make this album a highly impressive effort.

    I was really disappointed and pessimistic when I learned that Sheik decided to write music and leave lyrics to a 'poet'. Yet It is a excellent album and I couldn't help but come around to it.

    Unlike his two previous albums, Sheik has handed lyrical duties to playwright Steven Sater, and has chosen to expand on his abilities as a musician. The combination is a flawless one, with Sheik's subdued and thoughtful music complimenting Sater's reflective words.

    A rich collection of tunes that definitely will put you in the mind of [Nick] Drake--but stop one (small) step short of sheer imitation.

    This is Duncan Sheik at his most orchestrally, acoustically indulgent, and it's a lovely, haunting effort.
