THE FOUNTAIN
[Released December 2001]
"...besides the superb 'Martyr', this cd also has some other great moments. 'The New Renaissance', the slow and powerful 'Asrya' and the Depravity Remix of the title track, with its Mike Garson-type manic piano, are all outstanding. There is also a live piano version of 'Amethyst' which was a track on 'The Fourth Seal Of Zeen' released about a year ago. If your taste runs towards The Mission, Sisters Of Mercy and David Bowie (his voice, more than his music) then The Awakening is definitely for you. Ashton implores us to "fly the flag of the new Renaissance"; and we have no reason to doubt his sincerity." - SA ROCK, B.C.
