Comments:
Two Worlds One are undoubtedly New Agey but good with it. Lisa Lynne's harp adds a gorgeous sound works wonderfully against Molly Pasutti's dulcet vocals. I'm reminded of Enya and maybe a little bit of Loreena McKennitt's earlier records. "Summer Star" is a fine example of their craft, as Pasutti's murmured vocals meet delicate washes of melody. "Spirit Dance" paints a pretty picture as Lisa Lynne plays her harp with intent, and Pasutti joins her with a sweet vocal. "Still the Moon" is one of the best tracks here, offering an almost country-like mood, but with the same tranquil spirit as ever. It's an album that should appeal to more than just genre fans.
