I love how Sol Invictus' discography is so massive that some albums just get forgotten, hidden in plain sight for years. I bought this nearly ten years ago, (and it was released over twenty years ago) and I think every time I play it, I say, "wow, this is really good, I need to listen to this more!" and then I don't listen to it again for two years. Now I am going to write about it to ensure I don't forget about it anymore, and so others can discover its greatness.If you like other Sol Invictus albums, this one is very lush, yet simple. It is quite relaxed, but not in a lazy way. It is very acoustic and there is no experimental or industrial influences here. I'd say it's quite similar to "In the Rain," which happens to be my favorite of their albums. It's rather similar to "In a Garden Green" and "The Hill of Crosses" too. Heck, I'll even throw "The Blade" in there. There's some piano, flute, and cello in some songs, forming a symphonic feel, and some songs here are some of their most atmospheric. Some of my favorites are "Tears and Rain," "The Gods Looked Down" and the second half of "The Watching Moon."Now, I'm not saying this is the best music in the world, it takes a very special certain individual to appreciate its significance. I never even mention Sol Invictus to most people I know, even when talking about music in-depth. Folk-noir is a fairly obscure genre in the grand scheme of things and I know it's not for everyone. I wanted to mostly say that if you're a fan of their other work, or other folk-noir bands, then don't let this one slip by. Let's face it, Tony Wakeford has an absolutely god-awful voice, and it really shows on this album, but, I'm willing to just let it blend in with the music to create some sort of unique monster that not many people get to experience.
