The Path Of Melancholy

Great balance between percussion and instrumental voices . . . especially in the "Lake of Tears" as I am listening . . I loved the trill of the flute-like voices . . . and the smooth flow as the other instruments embroider on the movement of the piece as it plays out . . . beautiful!
"The Path of Melancholy" is a poem . . . a cry for recognition .. .. loneliness . . . regarding the stark aloneness that humans suffer . . . "see me . . . I am here. . ."
"Shattered Illusion" a dark and gloomy musical reminder that life is fairly hard . .maybe little rays of sunshine get through .. . and drops of hope . .. . but like a mirror . . . a dream can be dropped and shattered . . gone forever . . .
They say that those who finally make up their minds to commit "Suicide" are walking outside of their depression, alone yet relieved and content in their decision . . . a ray of light perhaps . . . but not for those of us left behind . . .
"Broken Heart" was a trippy more upbeat song . . . very nice with light sounds and happier melodies . .. "Autumn Storm" was beautiful and maybe one of my favorites on this album . . .

Although the music was not necessarily all dark and gloomy .. .. the attitude of the album was describing a state of mind that follows those who are depressed . . . sadness and sorrow are all a large part of the human condition and we continue past the events that hurt us . . and as we grow through life we understand a little more the issues that people are facing life with. . . I wonder if the artist of this album is expressing a recent suffering of this nature.

This seems to be more of a concept album . . to share feelings of depression . . . It was very creative and artistic but not what I would call Newage . . its not really relaxing as there is too much tension involved in melancholic thoughts . . . yet it has a nice flow and a good style. . . maybe it is ambient or dramatic enough to fit into a movie or video or help a writer be more creative . . .

Like most of new age music its had a great combination between modern and classic. Beuatiful classic style sound and melody matching with modern electric beat. very nice combination.
