Review by kenethlevine
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Prog-Folk Team

Originally released as a Tony Wakeford solo album in 1993, during SOL INVICTUS' most prolific period, "La Croix" is a rather unbalanced album that is more ambient than anything proposed by the band proper. In the abundant instrumental tracks and breaks, it could be mistaken for a movie soundtrack. But then Wakeford reappears with his stern baritone and we are back in dark folk land again. The shorter cuts are all at least passable, and, in the case of the acoustic instrumental "Double Cross" and the morose and haunting "The Yew", rather resplendent. Unfortunately the finale is 20 minutes long and a pallid recitation only relieved by several minutes of stunned silence and a neo classical "climax". For this presumed focal point to be so banal, I can't quite cross the 3 star marker and I recommend "La Croix" to fans only.
