Still one of my favorites by the masters of the ethereal shoegaze movement. Elizabeth Fraser's angelic and rapturous voice just dances like shimmering light through the swirling jangle of Robin Guthrie's guitar. An album full of complexly melancholic beauty. Both soul stirring and ambient, a truly potent combination after midnight in the desert. Music made for full moons and chill wind and the distant call of coyotes out in the ice colored arid wasteland valley. If you want to build a great shoegaze collection, this is one you MUST own.
