Title: About as good as cold French fries...
Review: The most over-rated artist in the Groove/Atmospheric (read Enigma-like) genre has to be Mythos. In fact, this CD doesn't belong in this category at all. A stark, miserable even depressing recording. It is lifeless, cold and dark. Delerium (as an example of excellent music) might be considered by many to be "dark", but it isn't cold, lifeless AND dark!I have listened to this CD many times to try to like it, and alas, it is consistantly uninspiring at best. My collection of "this type" of music numbers some 80 CDs by 50+ artists and this is clearly the worst. A previous reviewer put into words the essence of my feelings, "...listened to the album ten times and still unable to recall a single composition a couple of days later. Used chewing gum, completely flavorless and rigid."Here are just a few titles to buy before you waste your money on this: Phobos, Pilgrimage, Aria and Aria II, State of Grace, Liberia, Spirit Level, Libera, Delerium.
