I love the style of this album. Thought provoking poetry is combined with beautiful sounding music comprising of synthesizers, drums and talented guitar playing. The style could be loosely compared to Recoil, but in many ways it's wonderfully unique.

I really liked this album. It is good "background" music for working or general studying, though it would be a little distracting for intense studying. It is comprised of ambient and jazz music being played while poetry - generally famous - is read, often with effects.

I really liked "In Flanders Feilds," track 7, and "The Chariot," track 13, is probably my favorite. The music for the lead track, "Vagabonds," is a little spacey for me, but on the whole the piece really goes together well, and I enjoyed it very much. I had high hopes for "Tigers," track 11, which I correctly guessed was based on Blake's immortal "The Tiger." However, I was a little disappointed in the actual presentation, as it did not seem to go together, nor did it seem diametrically opposed.

Overall, this is an album I will listen to again. They really put together a good piece of work.
