5.0 out of 5 stars very consistent album, October 18, 2001

By 

"scottmusicdvd" (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Island (Audio CD)

just a quick note: I love this cd and think it is one of the better (and more accessible) C93 releases. There are a few songs that use sythesizer sequences, which is a bit out of the norm for them (perhaps this is the HoH influence) but it really works quite well.

I also wanted to add (since i don't see it in the other reviews) that this cd was recorded in Iceland. Therefore, we are treated to a guest appearence (on at least one song) by a little known female vocalist from Iceland at the time known as Bjork. Now of course she is an international superstar. Don't buy the cd just for that though - she only appears as a back-up singer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Current 93 album... and I have them all., May 11, 2001

This album is also, along with Thunder Perfect Mind and All The Pretty Little Horses, one of their most accessible. Every song is dreamy, wispy, ethereal, like a touch of pale smoke. Organs, violins, icy, bleak vocals, twilight skies, tenebrae... this is an incredible album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb! Tibet is wonderful, July 6, 2004

This review is from: Island (Audio CD)

I can only describe this music as an elegant masterpiece who's sound carries perfectly the feeling Current 93 expresses. Tibet is as godly in ISLAND as he is in any other C93 album; spellbinding, gracefully capturing, darkly bright and beautiful; moving. 5 stars.
I recommend Thunder Perfect Mind; All the Pretty Little Horses too.
