A bit of a continuation of 'Offering', but here Vander is truly solo, bar Stella's vocal work on one track. Its simple and its elegant.

The long track 'Love Is' sees Vander playing a minimal modal piano and singing in a breathy and restrained falsetto with nods to Magma in the scatty gibberish vocals. Sands is a great short piano piece which breaks into the title track, with the two Vanders singing in English in a style that makes you think of something like the Phantom of the Opera. Must admit form here, things get a bit boring. Christian Vander singing in similar style, although aiming a bit more for Matt Monro, sings a couple of love songs over a solo piano. Both are pretty much the the same. XMC then introduces a few more instruments including drums, ripping off the pink panther theme tune with a bit of shrieking.

Recommend Love Is, and To Love, but the rest is a little forgettable.
