Reviews & Discussion
This is a modern classic, no less (just like two other parts of the trilogy). Its also as far removed from mass-produced music as possible. Its all about atmosphere - although mostly vocal-less, title are usually speaking for themselves (Shadow Path, A Swim At Night). In a way its an audio analogue of nicely crafted book written by the likes of Kafka (whose influence of Darrin Verhagen is enormous). So there you have it - an item to treasure and keep, unlike much of today's music.
