While the debut was a very dark and depressing album, this the follow-up at least has lots of light in it. The subject matter is still about Tchort losing his daughter but it's shared through the "joy, inspiration and meaning" that his son has brought into his life. And so the music here is dedicated to his new son. Lots of beautiful pictures in the thick liner notes as well. Tchort refers to this recording as his musical legacy. One long 60 minute piece where Tchort can tell us about his feeling without being interupted. The three IN THE WOODS... members who were on the debut aren't here this time but Tchort does dedicate the lyrics to the Botteri brothers. The album starts with atmosphere and we can hear a child making sounds. Some killer stuff throughout the 60 minutes then the recording ends with the sound of a music box. Fantastic lyrics too. In my opinion this is a masterpiece just like the debut but man it has a completely different mood to it.

Well there is that section where the female is singing in a weird way and it sounds Eastern. Not a fan of that but for me it's one of those albums that goes beyond the music, especially when compared to "Journey Into The Morn". Lyrics usually don't little to me when evaluating an album but the first two Green Carnation records are certainly exceptions to that rule for me. Thanks by the way.

Good review. I've heard this album many times, but I can't give it more then four stars now, too many stagnant moments for me.
