Originally released in 1994, Flowermouth was an etude on the idea of beauty and its translation into musical form. Six years later, the disc was given a sonic overhaul and a long overdue and proper release in North America, a territory that was vastly unaware of said beauty until now. Long notes from synthesisers are pranced upon by minute piano impressions, and it also features contributions by various well-known, textural-based guitarists such as Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Steve Jansen (Japan) and Lisa Gerard. The songs are partially drawn-out and repetitive in nature, but are done so to emulate the timeless-like quality when encountering a blissful situation, much like the germination process of a plant. A persuasive and bright shiny disc.
