CD Timeless This is one of the finest cd's I've ever heard. I have a collection of over 400 cd's (and ever growing) and I would rank this one in the top 5. This cd is to drum 'n bass what "Kind of Blue" is to jazz, the standard by which everything else is measured. Goldie composes these songs with great finesse and tremendous emotional impact, at one moment subtle, the next lush, even trippy. The singing is beautiful and ethereal, the instrumentation well crafted, and effects are used smartly, such as the sounds of ocean surf and seagull cries in "Sea of Tears" that help impart a sense of loss, these effects blend in seemlessly and it's sheer genius. I've listened to this cd for 2 years now and it never gets old. The three part song "Timeless" alone is worth the price of admission with it's slow steady build, frenetic middle piece, and ghostly, delicate ending, just a wonderful musical movement. The flow between songs is superb, the production is excellent, and the song structures are inspired. If I had to sum this cd up in a word it would be "haunting". Hauntingly beautiful.
