Negative Positive
Title: Almost there..........
Review: This CD has all the makings of a great project- the provocative and still-timely work of H.P. Lovecraft and the imagination of Nox Arcana rolled into a well packaged and recorded form. Still, I get the feeling that the music is lacking something important. The pieces start capably, rumbling along nicely with "voice of doom" choirs and brooding keyboards. However, after the stage is set with all of this, no melodic development or "B" section occurs and no other instruments are tossed into the mix. After 3 or 4 creepy tunes the project starts to run in place. I give these guys high marks for their invention of cool "seance soundtracks" but the execution feels kinda uninspired....
Is the review positive or negative?
