Mary Fahl made good music as the singer for the eclectic October Project. She was always a surprise, looking so delicate but having such a big, almost classical voice. She still has the big voice, but she's opting for an easier course of being eclectic by tossing faint nods at different styles while trying to hew firmly to the center of the road; she's sort of a thinking man's Celine Dion with rootsy touches. Is she successful? Well, the fact that two of these pieces have already appeared in movie soundtracks means yes. "Going Home" is fake Irish, with by-the-numbers chord changes and a violin solo from Mark O'Connor that he could probably knock off in his sleep. There's plenty of piano, and a fair bit of orchestral (or keyboard) swell on the songs, and the type of singing that passes for passion without ever having a whole lot of depth "Ben Aindi Habibi" does at least try to be different, but even that is diluted from its Middle Eastern origins. At one time Mary Fahl was fantastic. Now she seems to be going where the money might be. But maybe you can't blame her; the bills have to be paid. This just ends up seeming like a bland waste of a mighty talent. ~ Chris Nickson

Best female CD ever Absolutely fantastic! I want to meet Mary! Submitted by a reviewer (Leeds UK)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Mary Not forgotten Mary once the carrying artist of October Project has compiled a decent
amount of songs that is worth storing
in your music collection. October Project broke up several years now and
the leftover November Project group is
unable to pick up the once great sound
that Mary was able to contribute. Songs
IN THE GREAT UNKNOWN and WANT TO are great songs that touch the magic of
October Project. It may be forever that
MARY FAHL will be considered the greatest female singer undiscovered. If
you pick up this CD it will be one that
you can listen to in the decades to
come and still enjoy. SOLID BUY RATING
for me but only 4 stars because there
are a few average songs as you get further into the CD. Submitted by a reviewer (Hatfield Pa)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Nothing short of breathtaking After the teaser released previously, it is great to hear the full album at last. Mary's voice is as clear and etereal as ever. In particular, be sure to give attention to "In the Great Unknown", "Going Home", "Paolo", and "Raging Child". the vocal qulaity here is not to be missed.

Hauntingly Refreshing This album showcases Mary Fahl's talents in the most profound way. The lyrics are deep, dark sounding, but refreshingly uplifting. This album will meet the desires of any October Project fan as well as deliver an incredible new album to those that have never heard of this superb singer.
