Review of Here There is No Moon (European version 32:28)

The piece is lovely, perhaps too lovely.
The skill of composition threatens the subject
matter: this is such deep, serious & even scary stuff, that I ached for the ache of subject to
match style.
The constant music lulled me: I don't want to be
lulled by these stories, I want to be lurched!
I'll confess that I feel like I should be
screaming the praises of this piece rather than
picking at what seems to me much more than nits,
but I can't. I hear the dangers of the interwoven
vox-pop with music sweetening too strongly here.
This is as much a style--an over-heard style as
any more acts & tracks approach and needs shaking
up, too!
