"Unlike the first reviewer I DO like this CD. There's an overwhelming sense of loneliness throughout the whole album. This is indeed nothing like Songs Of Sex And Death. It's more like their 2nd album.The main difference to the previous albums is that there's a 2nd vocalist. This struck me as strange the first time I heard it but all in all the songs sound great so why bother complaining.There's a little more diversity than on the previous album here. Where Songs Of Sex And Death was one wave of pain this CD breaks up into 6 songs of loneliness and one rather nice cover from a classic Black Sabbath song. Other than that I'd like to comment that if you're new to Amber Asylum you can expect mournfull violins and the best soprano voice ever and a whole lot of melancholy overall.I've heard 3 albums by them so far(Debut album is on the way) and I've decided this: Kris Force is definately my favorite Violinist and Vocalist. There's something about her that sends chills up my spine."

Music of power

"Not far away was his island, of which Bilbo knew nothing, and there in his hiding-place he kept a few wretched oddments, and one very beautiful thing, very beautiful, very wonderful. He had a CD, a golden CD, a precious Amber Asylum CD. "My birthday- present!" he whispered to himself, as he had often done in the endless dark days. "That's what he wants now, yes; we wants it!" He wanted it because it was music of power, and if you slipped that CD in your player, you were invisible; only in the full sunlight could you be seen, and then only by your shadow, and that would be shaky and faint."My birthday-present! It came to me on my birthday, my precious.""
