Bland.

"This album is boring, it sounds disjointed and uncoordinated. The melodies beaumont hannant creates end up ruined by lida husiks bad vocals, they did a much much better job on Green Blue Fire released under the name Husikesque."

Lida Husik presents yet another step in an ongoing evolution

"Lida Husik is a rare talent who strangely remains a virtual unknown. Her previous albums have ranged widely over at times bizarre territory, her strong point always being ethereal vocal delivery, disjointed guitar work and surreal lyrical juxtapositions which can carry political text or subtext. Her sense of the absurd has brought forth song titles such as "Hopi Ants," and "Mother Richard." Her rich voice hovers and then engulfs the listener with a genuine warmth and a sense of nearly sublime wisdom. In recent albums she has focused a fascination on the triphop productions of Hannant, thus the title "Faith in Space," which also seems to tie musical form to considerations of millenial angst. Regardless of the difficulties or pain which Husik may present in her lyrics, she is one of the few contemporary musicians to step agilely between jaundiced sarcasm and seemless resolution. She is a godlike genius and a singular talent unlike virtually anyone in the music industry."

Superb

"An utterly superb record corssing the boundaries between shoe-gazer brit-pop vocal styles with intellectual dance rhythms and beats. This record delivers what Bjork and Madonna try to achieve."
