This is a pretty album. Looking at the cover of flowers, fields and trees tells you that you're not in for a terrifically demanding time on your ears. Instead it is a pleasant, pleasurable journey of light, beauty-conscious adoration. Glenda takes up the lead on the vocal side and is a competent guitarist too whilst Andrew provides keyboards. This isn't though, one of those projects that has just been thrown together by two people who wanted to put their own material together regardless. The thought is evident for all to see, providing an album which will I'm sure provide peace and reciprocal thoughtfulness from those who give this their attention. Lyrically the collection touches the 'Spirit Overflowing' kind of approach, perhaps not the most original writings ever conceived but relevant in this context nonetheless. The only significant problem which this kind of album encounters is that of variety. The songs are meant to be slow, melodic numbers, and they are, but that can sometimes lead to a similar picture being gained in each song, and as such there isn't one song that screams out at you.
