""Vampire" is reason enough to purchase this album. It is a haunting ballad both sensual and heartbreaking. It plays like the inner monologue of a true vampire who both begrudges and embraces her nature. Claudia's vocal gifts in this piece are what first attracted me to her as an artist. When playing music for friends I will inevitably introduce them to this piece and many times first time listeners have been visibly and audibly affected at the vocal crescendo which marks the middle of "Vampire". "The Man Who Visits Me" is a sad lament of a person/heart that finds a glimmer of love in the benign visits of a harmless peeping Tom."
