"When I first got this album, to be honest, I didn't like it! However, it's grown on me with listening. There is more depth than meets the ear to start with. Tracks like 'The Cry' have brought to us the emotions of God - in this one over the murder of Abel. Most of the lyrics for this album, like the previous Moriah are taken from Hebrew poetry from previous millenia, and are worth listening to. The album has given me a sense of the history and emotion that is behind the Jewish Christian percetion of Jerusalem. Some of the tracks are not as musically complex as much of Adrian's work is, but have a simplicity much akin to folk music. This one's a bit different, but if you like the rest of Adrian's stuff, I think you'll like this one too."
