A DROP OF LIGHT

Absolutely stunning! I've enjoyed Änglagård in the past, but this spin-off is something completely different! The complexity of the compositions and their brilliant execution by master musicians has me nearly in tears as I listen to this unfolding masterpiece. If you haven't heard it, imagine a grand orchestra composed of the King Crimson lineup on Lizard, with all the brass and wind instruments, the King Crimson lineup of Red, with the angular movement and thick mellotron and bass lines, and the La Nouba soundtrack from Cirque du Soleil with its operatic, often wordless vocals and you'll start to imagine what this album sounds like. I'm floored. Five stars only because I can't give it six!
