Synopsis

Album Description

1995's Excelsis v.1 ~ A Dark Noel has consistantly been one of Projekt's most popular releases. The follow-up, 1999's Excelsis v.2 ~ A Winter's Song, quickly brought joy to many more fans of darkwave music. In 2001, Projekt added the the not-available-in-stores Excelsis 3 ~ A Prelude Maxi-CD to create a trilogy of dark holiday releases. And to make it even more special, they have packaged the three of them in a beautiful tuck box (it is open on the right side, so the CDs easily slide in and out) with no barcode or ugly credits to ruin the design. The Excelsis Box makes a great holiday gift for your friends, or even for yourself.

CD Reviews

A darkness filled with light

William Timothy Lukeman | 12/04/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For several years now, this has been my favorite collection of holiday music. Haunting, ethereal vocals & chiming, ringing, echoing melodies as fragile & beautiful as snowflakes ... the effect is one of being inside a ruined but still sanctified cathedral on a winter night, with angelic voices carrying on the wind, icicles singing like tiny bells, and a feeling of utter peace, purity & a cold, clear stillness all around. Most highly recommended!"

Enjoyable

"It features classics and new songs. I'm enjoying listening to it. I'm glad I splurged and bought the whole box set at once!! Definitly worth it!"
