It is not but one minute into the song that suddenly the percussion breaks into the song, giving it a delightful dark wave feeling and summing up the sound of most of the records. Some epic, anthem sounds, many sweet and repetitive melodies over songs that easily cross over from folk into dark wave with a suave skip. ‘Most Northerly Midnight’ open rich with sounds, flowing frequencies in the background, a just-there bass line that manages to seep through all the other sounds, noisy overpowering clean guitar notes and the reciting of Jason Alfred’s voice. The music wraps the voice, finally taking over and giving place to some haunting and delicate choruses. ‘The Glowing child’ keeps up the surrounding atmosphere and gives it even more strength. The sound is cruder, approaching a willowy martial spirit and doesn’t renounce to having a powerful chorus. ‘Helm of awe’ combines a rock spirit with counterpoints, syncope and distortions. It has a very progressive sound that spreads out with the words, backed by momentary drums. </FONT></EM></P> <P><EM><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman,Times,serif">With ‘My Butterfly’ Harvest Rain returns to a more traditional neofolk sound with dual voices over a repetitive melody line with a bass line skeleton and guitar notes body. The tune is easy and catchy uniting a sober spirit with a pop face. It closes with a poetical sampler in Spanish titled ‘Hymn to the Morning Star’, as a whisper coming from the past. Following close behind is ‘Thuletide’, walking trustingly into that place between folk, dark wave and dark rock, with an excellent melody, covered by screeching violent synths, repetitive percussion, a sort of deathrock crudity, bringing the beginning of some 80s post punk bands to mind. ‘A Gift of blood’ is back to basics: a heavy guitar line, bellicose percussion, oppressive sounds topped with beautiful melancholic synth line that keeps the tune fragile and imaginary. ‘Will-o-the-wisp’ unites the folk side with a further pop attitude immersed in counterpoints and guitar lines. ’Frozen lights’ plunges into a haunting gelid soundscapes pierced by crystalline melodies. As counterpoint ‘The pulling lights’ again offers a dark wave ambient melody...........</FONT></EM></P> <P><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman,Times,serif">A review in Italian can be found at : </FONT><a href="http://www.neo-folk.it/recensioni/recensioni.htm"><font color="#000000"><FONT color=#ff0000 size=4 face="Times New Roman,Times,serif">http://www.neo-folk.it/recensioni/recensioni.htm</FONT></font></a></STRONG></P></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT size=4 face="Times New Roman,Times,serif"></FONT></STRONG> <!--"''"--></DIV></font> </p> <!--/area Type="main"--> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" alt="" height="40"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="354"> <!--area Type="area_b" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000" style="0"--> <!--/area Type="area_b"--> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="15"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" width="15" height="30" alt=""></td> <td> <table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="1" bordercolor="#000000"> <tr valign="top"> <td bgcolor="#666633"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="346"> <!--area Type="area_a" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2" color="#ffffff" style="0"--> <div align="right"><img alt="Dagger of Incense" border="" src="../sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/ss5.jpg" vspace="0" hspace="0"></div> <!--/area Type="area_a"--> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" alt="" height="40"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="346"> <!--area Type="area_c" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2" color="#ffffff" style="0"--> <!--/area Type="area_c"--> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" height="30" alt=""></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="10" bgcolor="#cccc99"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" height="20" width="10" alt=""></td> <td width="2" bgcolor="#000000"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" height="2" width="2" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="4" bgcolor="#000000" width="759"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" height="2" width="1" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="3" bgcolor="#000000"> <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan="3"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" height="20" width="1" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="10"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" width="10" alt=""></td> <td width="709"> <!--area Type="runner" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="1" color="#cccc99" style="1"--> <div><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="1" color="#cccc99"><b><DIV align=center>Contact Harvest Rain's Management At: <!--"''"--></DIV></b></font> </div> <div align="center"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="1" color="#cccc99"><b><a href="mailto:JasonThompkins@sccoast.net"><font color="#cccc99">JasonThompkins@ScCoast.net</font></a></b></font> </div> <p align="center"><img alt="Peek-a-Pie" border="" src="../sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/.pond/jason_hiding.jpg.w300h225.jpg" vspace="0" hspace="5" width="240"></p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="1" color="#cccc99"><DIV align=center><FONT size=4><STRONG><EM>Jason Thompkins</EM></STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV align=center><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>219 Jeopardy Lane</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=center><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>Conway, South Carolina 29526</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV align=center><STRONG><EM><FONT size=4>USA</FONT></EM></STRONG> <!--"''"--></DIV></font> </p> <!--area Type="footer" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="1" color="#cccc99" style="1"--> <!--/area Type="footer"--> <!--/area Type="runner"--> </td> <td width="8"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" width="8" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" alt="" height="20"></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td bgcolor="#000000"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" height="2" width="2" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="4" bgcolor="#000000" width="759"><img src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" height="2" width="1" alt=""></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
