5.0 out of 5 stars Revelation, March 2, 2009

I couldn't agree more with the other twee reviewers. But I didn't accidentally stumble upon this CD because I am Dutch and I read somewhere that Ivar de Graaf, former drummer of Within Temptation, was putting together a new band. So when it appeared I instantly got hold of a copy and the first week it didn't leave my CD-player. And a while ago I actually saw them perform in a venue nearby and also live they didn't disappoint. Judith Rijnveld has the voice of an angel (and the looks to boot). I'm also a fan of Within Temptation, but the music of Kingfisher Sky actually is a lot more appealing to me, not so bombastic and with a lot more feeling and melody and even folk-influences. I can't wait for their next CD to arrive (should be sometime this year). Definitely a must if you like bands such as Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Stream of Passion, Autumn (another great Dutch gothic band) or Mostly Autumn.

5.0 out of 5 stars thundered!, February 11, 2009

By	Ahmed Shaikh "Ancient Spirit" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

my first line is same as my previous reviewer- "I stumbled across this one by pure accident while searching for something entirely different."...its weird I do listen to Gothic and Symphonic music but not a lot..i am more into melodic and extreme metal..but the album cover first attracted my attention and i decided to listen the clips and after listening the clips the only thing i did is order the album! its so wonderful album and Judith's voice is incredibly beautiful...being a big fan of Within Temptation and Anneke van Gierbergen, I feel like U just found one more artist to be 'fan' of!
Hallway of Dreams certainly a good album undoubtedly, just took me really long to find them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Modern Prog, October 17, 2008

By	K. Priebe "Locked and Loaded" (Puyallup, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I stumbled across this one by pure accident while searching for somthing entirely different. I'm glad I did. While Kinfisher Sky's "Hallway of Dreams" falls into the progressive rock category, it's not the ulra-complex uber prog from the days of yore. Kingfisher Sky carries on the prog feel with beautiful melody and harmony. Hallway of Dreams combines hard-hitting with mellow, adds a generous portion of emotion to create their own brand of prog that should appeal to fans of Porcupine Tree, Spock's Beard, some of the more recent Katatonia releases, Pink Floyd, and Riverside just to name a few. The lead vocals are provided by Judith Rijnveld, who does a wonderful job of providing both power and emotion in proper proportions. Backed by a solid rhythm section, crunchy giutars, and some mellow piano/synth work, the vocals really set the mood for any particular track. The porduction is quite good as well. Like the rest of the album, it seems to be just right...not over-produced as some modern progger's feel the need to do. The whole album has a great flow too it that makes it really easy to get into and just sit and listen to the music. Pick it up if you're in the mood for somthing thats a bit different. Recommended listening.
