5.0 out of 5 stars Darkly erotic...., October 16, 2001

Well, all negativity from the others aside, I hated this album at first too. Too slow, too mellow, too offkey.... but then, oh, then.... I listened to it as I was falling asleep! In the dark, with your eyes closed, new realms are opened up to you! There's an amazing art behind the simplicity and the smoky vocals. This is NOT music to groove to or dance to or to jump around too.... it's romantic, curling up in a warm bed JAZZY music. It creates at atmosphere without being blunt about it, which is why many people miss the point I think - not being smacked in the face with the purpose... Despite being so calming and tranquil, it won't put you to sleep if you don't want it to. It's interesting enough musically to keep me entranced. Darkly erotic vibes throughout, and very thoughtful! ENJOY IT!

Who knows how you found this page and disc-- but if you are here -- buy it. This CD is both haunting and invigorating -- there is a dream-like feel to the tunes here that will keep you coming back for more. It is rare to find pop songs of this depth and feel-- yes -- pop, as in catchy but not like the Go-go's. Catchy as in you'll find yourself humming "fountains on fire" at work the next day like it's the jingle to some surreal ad for tabasco. I keep hoping for a new release from this group -- this is a must for anyone struggling to break free from our Celine-obsessed world.

As previous reviews show, this music isn't for everybody. But for those who appreciate its sinuous & slow erotic charge, it'll take you to mysterious places. Unlike the boringly blatant & plastic sexuality of a lot of contemporary hits, this is the real thing: the lush flow is in the mind as much as in the body, creating a fever dream that never ends while the music is playing & Jennifer Charles' rich, low, satiny voice is soothing, caressing, aching in the dark, calling to you ... "But it doesn't matter anyway, I'm on the wrong side of the water, oh won't you listen to the lady in the lake?" In a way, it isn't so much about sex as it is about the mood, the countless little details merging together, the emotional undercurrents ... both alluring & a little ominous ... there's really nothing else quite like it. Most highly recommended!
