5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Words....., August 3, 2005

Have you ever started listening to an album and before you know it your eyes are shut and suddenly you seem to float away with the music in complete bliss? This is how I felt listening to The Golden Morning Breaks by Colleen. Truly sublime, passionate, and bueatiful. Like all Great albums, the more you hear it the more you love and enjoy it, hearing new things each time within the songs. Not since Sigur Ros'-() and Efterklang's- Tripper have I felt such bueaty and Tranquillity from an artist. The first Must-have album of the year. Just put on your headphones, press play, and let the music suck you away.

5.0 out of 5 stars A music box from a child's playroom on a distant world, June 25, 2008

This is something quite special ... at first the music is simply delicate, fragile, childlike, and lovely enough for possessing those qualities. But the more you listen to it, the richer & more complex it becomes, like the tender, knowing smile of someone very old, someone who has experienced all that life can offer, and has come to peaceful terms with it. Yet at the same time, it sparkles with a child's wonder, curiosity & delight. There's often a certain melancholy or even faintly ominous undercurrent to this music, an awareness of sorrow & loss beneath the golden, sunlit surface of things. It's not for everyone, but if you give it a chance, you may be caught up in its softly dazzling beauty -- most highly recommended!

This is truly a beautiful album. Obviously very different from mainstream music. It forces you to block everything out and to just focus on sound. it takes you away to another place. i recommend closing your eyes while listening to it. "Colleen" is a very artistic and intuitive person. I hope everyone enjoys it as i did.
