Urthona is thre exactly mix of the beauty, ethereal, paranoic, mystereous, you can feel the music breaking up your soul, with the sounds of Olaf Parussen, the Voices and the cello Stoa makes of Urthona a poem of the other side of the music, with this CD this german group becomes in the most representative of this kind of music (dark ethereal), Urthona has the feeling of Blak Tape, the quality of Dead Can Dance, the charm of Human Drama, Excellent......

I heard "Autumn" 5 years ago when I was 16. I was deeply struck and spent a couple of time emotionally. Stoa is special, not as the same as other bands of Hyperium. It seems that it contains Pessimism, displays a phylosophical story. When hearing it in the dark, I always feel hardly can breathe.Not so decorated, it is the music from the heart.

I was introduced to STA music by my friend, and from the moment I listen to it I could not stop my player until I went three times thru the whole tracks. Stoa music is not for easy listener, but is great to send you away to past, forgotten lands. It will induce emotions and long after you will be haunted by its beauty. I specially liked "Infant Joy", "Taumel" and "Stoa" tracks.

Being one of the first bands to introduce me with Gothic music it made me amazed. The voice of the singer is so clear and tender that your ears are eager for it more and more. I also loved the mystical sounds of the music and could hardly believe they were born from a synthesizer. All I can say is "magnificent, placid, mystical". The only pity is that there are so few people know about this miracle.

Stoa's music has been unavailable for sometime. I first heard Urthona about four years ago. Their music is rich and textured, with hints of gothic and classical. It is an overall eerie and pleasant effect.
