More Info:
This album becomes an ambient mood floating between and uniting quite a few gorgeous songs written by Craig Armstrong for the other artists he brings along to collaborate with him. The list is long and includes U2' Bono ("Stay"), Steve Lindsay, Mogwai, Evan Dando and Photek. The beauty of Craig's music is his ability to unite various styles and approaches by his underlying ambient texture so the entire album becomes a solid concept project. The listener is transported to another world while listening to the album. Great vocals are delivered by David McAlmont on "Snow" and with "Starless II" it brings us in the mood of King Crimson's famous album 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' and "Choral Ending" finishes the project in an appropriate solemn way.
