Lisa Gerrard - The Silver Tree

2007-04-23 / apeiron / Reads: 7516

The third solo record from the Australian is charmingly subtle... That for sure. Lisa Gerrard lures the listener with her spirited voice, like a siren calling out to a sailor. "The Silver Tree" is an oniric soul-voyage among ambient soundscapes. The enchantress of sounds, known from the legendary...

My first encounter with a project named Lingua Fungi occured on the occasion of a split entitled 'Strange Growths Wander' that was created along with Shrine. There is no denying that I got interested in "The Fungi" merely because of Shrine as I simply had never heard about Jakkoo Padatsu...

I’m talking about this because in some places the music from "Flowery Dreams" delusively resembles the one of...
