The first half of this album is such a disappointment. Doom/Death with some few choruses and an oriental atmosphere here and there, poorly added to the album's ambience.. technical parts that completly interrupt the moments where the sonority flows pleasant.. and songs waaaaaaay too long. On the other hand, ''Ornaments Of Gold'' is a nice song, and from ''Seasons Unite'' to on the album gets a little better in some way.. blending the oriental stuff in a better way. The remix of ''The Beloveds Cry'' (among digipack bonuses) is also great. But overall this is highly overrated.

Written by Uirapuru on 01.06.2010 at 22:33 You say that because now we are able to compare it with Mabool and ORWarrior, which are both much, much better... Back then, Sahara and El Norra Alila were pure greatness, as they were so unique...

Good album, but not too impressive compared to many other albums released in early-mid 90's. And somehow I noticed that I like bonus tracks more than the others.
