Aeoliah's latest album is an unabashed hymn of praise to romance, in all its forms. In the liner notes he writes, "This music is not only for lovers with partners, but to awaken the romantic in you, that you may feel the love and answer the call of your heart." This album does indeed speak to the heart in a way that is truly feeling rather that merely sentimental.
Aeoliah's synthesizers create soft expansive washes of sound that are highlighted by some very heartfelt piano playing and, on one track, by
Eric Berglund's harp. This is a warm tender album that manages to avoid the trap of excessive sweetness while still working its magic. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats
