Struck by the Sadness of Love: Bittersweet beginning, with a tired/weary vocal that evokes the song's emotions in the listener instantly. Beautifly orchestrated as the song blossoms. All or Nothing: This very cool and mellow space-age pop synth that opens the track is quickly revealed to be a small component in much larger cross between an anthem and a hymn. Tremedously atmospheric song.  Love Like This: short and intimate and simple and pleasant.  Until the End: bittersweet begining quickly gives way to a an upbeat tune that is relaxed and comfortable and still bittersweet at the same time. Not To Be Here: at once stark and sacred, it builds to a glorious end. I purchased the disc on the basis of hearing that song one time, and am very happy that every song on it turned out to be such a jem. This is well-crafted music.  The mood of the songs and the singer's voice and the lyrics are evocative and compelling.  At the same time, the orchestration, the beat, the production - its great music, well put together.

The way the songs flow... it fits.  Make no mistake, this CD would get serious airplay if a few stations out there would bother to open up there genres a little.  Sometimes warm and fuzzy, sometimes touching and grave, mostly loving and open.

It's always nice to discover great new music. This CD is very emotional and beautiful. Great production and writing. A very distinctive, strong and yet pleasant voice that fits perfectly with music. Fans of 80's goth/new-wave pop and recent pop records: this one is a must for your collection.

There are so many "labels" these days I can't keep up - But I'll use the ones I like - This is terrific Dream-pop with an introspective dark edge.  It is easily repeatible - once I've listened to a rotation of CDs in my changer - this one stays in for multiple plays while others are switched out.  I can't wait to get his other CD.
