Very nice. Classical, old music elements, ambient goth, gets one into a rather pure head space. Great singing, of course, whatever it is she’s saying. Before now I haven’t been grabbed by Lisa Gerrard’s post-Dead Can Dance releases, but this pairing with Patrck Cassidy (no slouch himself) works well. Turn off the lights.
+1.starts with gong & shimmer & loud string basses bowed, very “big”, soundtracky. Slow. Lots of strings.
+2.all wordless voice
3.heroic journey soundtrack. some Irish in it?
+4.sparse, nice singing and strings
5.long “oooohs” over four repeating notes. Some percussion halfway.
6.Singing in a lower register.
7.Soundtrack/classical
+8.nice stormy bass. Very moody.
+9.I hear a little of the old DCD
10.Organ, lots of gentle major resolutions. Church
