It is an undeniable fact: the forerunner "Mandylion" was a revelation for me, it was mainly
the voice of Anneke of course, but the instrumentation was also something of a kind.
With "Nighttime Birds" the band follows the same path they have chosen with "Mandylion":
great atmospheric metal which blends perfectly with the vocals of this divine enchantress.
Personally I like tracks like "Nighttime Birds" or "Kevin's Telescope" , but all the other tracks
are cool, emanating a dark, but thanks to Anneke of a warm and pleasant ambience. The
songs might be a bit more direct as heard on the previous record, but they still won't fit
the daily radio shows.
Some may claim that there is no evolution from "Mandylion" to "Nighttime Birds", others
who liked "Mandylion" will greet this album. More radical changes will also follow with next
albums, but for me these two stay the best albums of the band up to now. Must hear it !!!
