The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, 1995: This coven of gothic artists does emphasize the night in 'Silent Night' and other seasonal songs on this intriguing set. Eerie, trance-like reworkings of 'O Come All Ye Faithful' and 'Carol of the Bells' seem to urge deep, Druid thought, not dread. Consider this a good time to go commune with the gargoyle statuary at your local cathedral.
The Boston Phoenix 1995: 'Various luminaries of goth, including Lycia, and This Ascension, cover traditional holiday fare. Love Spirals Downward applies a Cocteau Twins-like sound. Faith & the Muse lend their Renaissance rendition of 'A Winter Wassail.' BlackTape's 'Chanukkah O Chanukkah' brims with dark gothic overtones. For balance, there are a few more-traditional renditions' This is the perfect Xmas album to play for friends and family to make the holiday just a wee bit weird.'
HUH #16: 'More the work of monks than moshers, the emphasis on spacey, ethereal vocals makes this seem like This Mortal Coil on an eggnog bender, and that's not a bad thing. The prettiest of the lot, this is a beautiful collection of tracks for trimming the tree or burning your own yule log.'
