Bryars never seizes to amaze me: everything he thouches seems to turn into gold. Although this doesn't strike me as his 'best' work, it still contains ample beauty to shut me up, and force me to listen. The melodic lines evolve quite fast compared to "After The Requiem", "Jesus' Blood" or "Cadman Requiem"; although the album contains 72 minutes of violin-music, it's never boring.
