Comments:

This is home-brewed darkwave, and while there are some things that I could nitpick at as far as polish goes (the backing could use a little more variation and occasionally the vocals verge off-key) this is clearly a heartfelt album, with a consistent, dark, Gothic-leaning sound. Tiffany Apan has a rich, high voice which blends nicely with the instrumentation. I particularly like the cover of "Scarborough Fair" here. Recommended for darkwave/Gothic fans.
