buy it...if for nothing else than for the last song "Dante's Prayer".  Oh
holiest of songs.  

The album is a sort of continuation of "The Mask And Mirror".  Again, we see
middle-eastern influences in the music...but it aslo goes into new directions.
(Good for you, Loreena!)  

...but that Dante's Prayer....oh boy!...  what a way to end an album.    Not
very many albums have such a poignant ending to them ("Depression" on
the "Blondel" album by Amazing Blondel come to mind).

There's too much in this album to give a review as of yet.  

Sorry, No Kate KontenT

peace
