The unusual, warbling sounds of the first track on "Medieval" immediately draw my attention. Immediately, the recording sounds about 600 years older that it actually is, and with the looping synth carrying the first track, it truly sounds archaic.

Don't be fooled for thinking this is Tavern music however. If anything, this is the sound of wounded Knights being bought to the Apothecary, Troubadours lamenting with no sense of direction, and the local village preparing for an invasion of a thousand strong.

Distant Drums bear down, vibrating across the plains. Keyboards play out the inevitable defeat, and the intermittent distorted warble is a Chieftain blowing into his Horn.

Closing my Eyes, it's an absolute cinch to forget that I live in the 21st century. Ignoring the modern day synth sounds, the atmosphere is compelling enough to truly transport the listener, and although I will concede that the release is far from perfect, it captures the imagination wonderfully. It's just a shame that some of the tracks feel a bit weak.
