After the onslaught of martial industrial noises, hard metal guitars and strange electronic soundstructures, Sylvi Alli was a more than welcome CD to listen to and just sit and relax. The music is a bit hard to categorise though. It's extremely laid-back folkish music, but with a gothic touch. Think of Kayno Yesno Slonce, but with more traditional songstructure, and with heavenly female vocals. Think of a darker and quieter version of Loreena McKennit. Think of Dead Can Dance without the tribal influences, like their version of 'The Wind That Shakes The Barley'. That should give you a pretty good idea what kind of music this is.....

The eleven songs on this CD are together just over 46 minutes in length. Every song does not continue endlessly, luckily, but stops long before it has a chance of becoming too much of the same. Instead, every song has it's very own beauty coming from a wonderful combination of melody, rhythm and vocals. This is indeed a wonderful album, and everyone who enjoys dark, melodic and relaxed music should definitely check Sylvi Alli out. There's a certain depth in this album, which makes you want to listen to the songs time and time again, discovering new things over and
over.....
