Beautiful spaced out instrumentals. I only wish that they went on a bit longer. (Maybe next time they could stretch them out to Zeit-type epics.) When the vocals arrive, they sound like they’re coming from another galaxy. Highly recommended. - Ice Cream for Quo Magazine #13 Palace of Swords - II a wonderful and chilled collection that opens with the beautiful sparkle of "Echoes from a Distant Star", a sequence of chiming notes that float off into the ether sounding like Klaus Schulze channelled through a dream. After the lush and haunting dreamscape of "The Castle Spectre", things become more earthy and noisier, as "The Black Lodge Will Rise Again", rolls ominously onwards, a distorted cloud on the horizon that passes overhead, threatening deluge and darkness. With "Deer Park" lightening the mood with its rolling hillside beauty, it is left to "Tamburlaine" to close the disc, a soft electronic sequence and pulse that is welcoming and all embracing. - Review by Wild Thing
