 Powerful and moving and deeply spiritual!Their best! December 30, 2002
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is such a great album meldinng power and grace so beautifully The title track of the album is the best "rock" song I've ever heard. There are so many moods on this album from the dark and rythmic to the ublifting to the subtle and sublime. Perhaps every single song won't appeal to all listeners as is bound to happen with an effort as bold and ecclectic as this but the first six songs on this album are all just awesome in my opinion and the sheer quiet beauty of "The Sea Angler" can't be ignored either. As with all Faith and the Muse and Strange Boutique albums, the lyrics are gorgeous and add to the power of the album. The sheer power, beauty and diversity of this album make it the one I would reccomend to someone who has never heard Faith and the Muse but of course all their albums are great!

This album is a cherished return to the thinking-person's Goth (after the dreck Cleopatra has put us through). The lyrical enchantments interweave beautifully with the other instrumentation to provide a sound that can be likened to a more sophisticated, youthful early Dead Can Dance.
Awesome!!! April 5, 1999

This is one of the best barouque/goth cd's to come out in the last few years and perhaps the best work either of these artists has ever done with other people!
Fabulous Arrangements, Excellent Material April 19, 1999
Moody, gorgeous music with stunning arrangements and vocals. Excellent songwriting. Celtic without being deathly dull New Age, Gothic without being angst-riddled mush. A class of its own and very recommended!
A Great Mix of Medieval, Folk, Goth Rock, & Experimental Music April 4, 2006
About the Band:
The Los Angeles based darkwave band was founded in 1993 by poet / musician Monica Richards (`the muse') and William Faith who had performed with various deathrock bands including Christian Death and Mephisto Waltz. Both Monica and William are accomplished musicians, with many fans adoring Monica and William's vocals and William's guitar work.
About the Album:
This album was highly recommended to me years ago by another Faith and the Muse fan. Alternating between medieval folk songs (Cantus - perhaps one of Faith and the Muse's most popular songs), guitar based gothic rock pieces in the tradition of bands like the Sisters of Mercy (The Hand of Man or Rise and Forget), and a few more modern experimental / neo-folk like tracks (such as Cernunnos), Annwyn, Beneath the Waves is not only a great introduction to Faith and the Muse, but also an incredible way to introduce people to darkwave / gothic music. Even if you aren't interested in darkwave / gothic music, there is enough variety in this album, that I highly recommend you listen to a few tracks.
My favorite tracks include:
-Cantus
-Fade and Remain
-Branwen Slayne
-Cernunnos (music with spoken word voices)
The CD liner notes include the lyrics for most of the tracks, which I'm sure you'll appreciate the minute you want to sing and dance along to this albums many great songs.
