Kray Van Kirk: Seven Years Light, Seven Years Dark.

Wonderful songs, a stunning voice

This is one of the very first albums I discovered on Jamendo, and one of those that are seldom made any more. Each song is a jewel of rare beauty, combining splendid melodies and a voice of crystalline perfection with lyrics that tell sensitive, nostalgic stories from the distant or more recent past, from the dreamlike world of maritime legends and fairy tales.

Music like this has a timeless quality and defies labels and terminology. You just listen and let yourself get carried away. Words are too poor to describe its uniqueness; I gave it 5 stars only because there's technically no way to give more.

Thank you for the precious gift of your talent and inspiration.

NOTE: This album is no longer available on Jamendo, but may still be freely downloadable from The Jamendo Albums Collection @ Archive.org.
