welcome to alt-classical. dark, complex and frequently very beautiful indeed. a worthy reinterpretation of this mortal coil's atmospheric blueprint, but with original songs rather than covers linked to form a cohesive whole. this multi-vocalist set has piano and chamber string arrangements shimmering with late romantic textures, liberally interspersed with slivers of other genres and eras. an intense and profound work.
