Very high opinion. Way beyond my expectations. Sometimes you get the feel an artist has been working their whole career for that one defining record, and I think it all came together this time for Meiburg, the inspired lyrical imagery coupled with his allegorical music vision, can't imagine right now that it won't easily be my record of the year. Even harkens back at times to the progressive folk of Jethro Tull's Songs from the Wood, or bits of Aqualung, but channeled through Talk Talk's later Spirit of Eden to strip away the excesses. His voice is the best it has ever been, stripped of most of the needless reverb this time, it floats and then soars effortlessly, like the majestic birds that live in so much of his music. Beautiful record.
