FROM A DISTANT STAR

The opening track is an eastern infused track unlike other Shingetsu songs, very nice adds welcome variety to the album.

Mirror is a beautiful song with great Japanese vocals, classic Shingetsu. Tasteful synths and melodic guitar fill in the rest of the song, nice.

The Voyage For Killing Part One is a pretty ballad serving as a prelude to part 2.

The Voyage For Killing Part Two is a re-recording of Kaiki off the night collector, an amazing song. It has everything you could want powerful vocals, superlative twelve string guitar, ethereal keys and its epic! My only issue is it doesn't have some of the groans(?) found on the other version, although there are things this version does have the other doesn't.

Island Homecoming is a shorter song made great by the singers emotional voice.

The final track is again a different one from Shingetsus catalog. It is more experimental/soundscape, great choice for closing a great album.

Also ye I totally f'd up this albums info? it was released 2015, recorded in 2005? Nvm dudes fixed it. Also Im reviewing off a YouTube that goes like my review says which is different then the track listing so yeah
