Sally Ellis has such a Beautiful haunting voice which so perfectly fits this group, The whole Album is excellent and so proffesionally put together. As for ''tinkling'' piano I sure dont hear it at my end romeotuma and I am quite suprised at your inability to appreciate, Have a listen to 'Half An Acre' you may be pleasantly suprised and get all your room mates swooning, but as its been said before , 'it takes all sorts to make a world' Not too keen on their other Albums, as they don't seem to come up to the standard of ''Rabbit Songs''

Maybe time for a Valium and a pair of Genelec speakers .

Is it like the Jane Sibery album When I Was A Boy? This song immediately reminded me of that album.

I'm going to get this CD - it's simply gorgeous, and it gentles me. Sirdroseph, I'm sorry it sends you into a murderous rage.  Perhaps you need to listen to "Shame" by Stabbing Westward - that should mellow you out a bit... (You know I'm only teasing you.) {#Mrgreen}

I recently said that about O Magnum Mysterium but it certainly applies to Hem as well.

As much as I find this song beautiful, this comment saddens me. I hope your pessimism isn't realised.

Good luck. This baby is out of print. It's available on Amazon used. Still at a decent price. Though some have it at $59.98 new!
