Soul Dreamer
Searching for the "ultimate" beaty and the beast album? Search no further, you found it here. Anita has an angelical voice, which makes this album a pleasure to listen to. The melodies are very strong, and haunting. The musicianship is perfect. The trademark of this album though is not the vocals, but the incredably beautiful violin play of Pete Johansen, which make this a unique album. The "beast" vocals are well done, and don't scare away someone who doesn't like them a lot. Highlights are "My love", which starts with a huge grunt, but develops after that into a beautiful violin driven song, "Until the Dark" which is the only song with clean vocals and "All Alone". The rest is also beautiful... You won't see the terms "lovely" and "beautiful" uttered on a metal site in one review, but here they come together. Five well deserved stars for this great album!
