A glance at the sleeve suggests a New Age folky workout, but this is absolutely superb. Best described as Joanne Hogg meets Maire Brennan in Enya's front room, Mary-Kathryn's gorgeous voice shimmers over a gossamer production whilst ethnic instruments such as fiddles, tin whistles, ukuleles, mandolins and African percussion add an earthy quality to the proceedings. Highlights include the astonishing "Only One", "Taste And See", seven minutes of Heaven, and to close, an extended praise mix of the opener "Let Us Praise" which weighs in at breathtaking nine minutes but is gone in a heartbeat.
