I shrink and shrink until I'm gone

Review Score: (10/10)
The previous masterpiece Mandylion was an emotional storm that left you hanging on at times. Here the storm has subsided but the music is still stirring and highly emotional. There is a sweeter quality to this album and the more laid back approach lets Anneke really show of that heavenly voice. All songs are very good and I really like the transition from Third Chance into Kevin's Telescope into the title track. The final track Shrink is one of my favourite Gathering songs.

In short - This album is gorgeous and majestic. Get it and fly away into the night with the "nighttime birds".
