This review is from: Behind The Day: Journey Of A Vampire (Audio CD)

"Follow me, my love, and I will take you to a world between darkness and light. Between ancient and eternal. Between real and imagined. Where the truest love dances on the edge of madness, balanced on the shadow of a dreamer's sigh. Come... through the door..."

This stanza begins an album that to me is a perfect mix of eerie, beautiful music and gentle spoken voice work. As soon as I heard that stanza, carried by soft synthesizer sounds underneath it I was hooked on this album. I do not (yet) have this album in my collection but I have had a chance to hear it. How beautiful this is. The vocal narration before each piece pulls you gently along, almost daring you to follow the vampire on the journey he describes, to be a part of his adventure or his memory. Whoever they got to speak the role of the vampire here(possibly Lee Blaske himself?) was the perfect choice, with a gentle voice, rich and deep and soothing but with just a touch of sinister tones and alluring tenderness. The musical pieces themselves, done largely with beautiful work on piano and synthesizers, paint a picture of the vampire not so much as a monster but almost like the romantic hero of an ancient story, gently imploring his love to join him in his world beyond the grave. This is great for reducing or relieving stress but if you have a romantic heart it just MIGHT make that heart beat a LITTLE bit faster... and may send chills through you. It did for me, and I enjoyed this work very much. I hope you enjoy it too. Peace. :)

This CD seems like the perfect mix between our world and the world created by so many authors. When I first heard this music, I felt like I was spinning into a vortex of sound. This CD has allowed me to understand how a vampire might see our world, and I believe that this is a CD that all must admit its deep beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting ... and absolutely wonderful, June 25, 2000

If you like vampires, get this CD. If you don't like vampires, GET THIS CD! The music is simply amazing. Most of it is piano, but there are voice-over narrations as well (I'm assuming it's Mr. Blaske's voice). The sound of his voice causes me to lose all concentration, giving me chills all throughout my body, but they're fun chills! Lee also has another album, "Immortal Kiss of the Vampire," that contains music much like what's found here, plus voice narrations. Folks, you can't go wrong with this one. BUY it!
