Deserves a listen. Of course that classic cover was parodied by Joe Jackson’s Body and Soul album.

Thanks, Pete.

I have this album in my collection, but haven’t listened to it in a very long time.
I’ve just added it to my play queue…

Azam Ali & Logan R. Torkian - A Lamentation of Swans

Digital download
16/44.1

If you like Dead Can Dance give this a try. Has the same otherworldly mysterious atmosphere. Ali and Torkian are an Iranian couple living in Canada. Not sure if she sings in Farsi or glossolalia as Gerrard does in DCD.:wink:
