Product Description
This is New Clear Sky's second album, and it is an extremely polished and well performed album mixing elements of classic synthpop with modern electronic dance music. Rarely can you find such a well trained vocalist with such a dynamic range.

4.0 out of 5 stars emotional synthpop, February 27, 2003

By	carl lindbergh (Brea, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

I first heard of them via the song, "The Stuff of Magick" on the Shadow Dancing compilation.
I was gladly suprised when I bought the cd that most of the other songs stood up just as well to this song.
I like the ballad track "Fall" the most which is by far the most emotional track on the cd.
This CD is extremely polished and well performed in regards to the soothing vocals and emotional lyrics. This is NOT one of those synthpop groups that has great music but horrible vocals i.e. some German guy trying to carry a tune. Great stuff and highly recomended.

5.0 out of 5 stars take notice of this great new artist!, March 3, 2005

By	Clarissa "MoonGoddess" (Ontario, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

New Clear Sky came up on a search I did for Vast. I then became interested in this group after reading many of the reviews for 'Newer, Clearer'. It sounded like something I might enjoy so I downloaded a 2-minute sample of "Serenity" and was instantly hooked. The beats are infectiously energetic yet tranquil at the same time, and though there's some slower paced, emotional ballads too (most notably "Fall"), it pretty much sets the mood for the rest of the album. The overall feel is dreamy/dancey synth-pop tinged with hints of Industrial, and the best tracks to me include "Serenity", "Vast", and my personal favorite, "Solveig's Song". The lyrics are poetic for a change, as if thought was actually put into more than just the music, and my guess is Robert Dombrower is classically trained because his beautiful vocals have quite an impressive range. I would say it's slightly operatic but that would be misleading... Think Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode singing with more of an upper register.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great album, February 25, 2003

By	"cmbat" (Chandler, AZ USA) - See all my reviews

Led by Vast, but including Serenity and other great hits, New Clear Sky puts themselves on the synthpop map with this one.
