CD Reviews

The Most Haunting CD Ever
Roy B. Smith | Auckland, New Zealand | 09/12/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This has to be the most haunting, spiritual recording ever made. I have played this cd virtually every day now for the last year, (so has my wife). I thoroughly recommend it. I have purchased copies as gifts for my friends."
