Electronic keyboards Sakamoto and an ethereal voice. It's a very Sakamoto record, and neverthless Virginia plays no instrument here and it's odd since From Gardens Where We Feel Secure was an instrumental record it's also a very Astley record. Hard to describe. but beautiful. Listen free to Virginia Astley Hope In A Darkened Heart Some Small Hope, A Father and more. 10 tracks 42:29. Critic Score.

There's a subtlety to these lush but simultaneously intricate arrangements that makes it difficult to pinpoint exactly what makes these songs stand out so much. The arrangements seem simple at first - even minimalistic but a closer listen reveal a playfulness and a richness on details that is just astounding. Nothing tries to grab your attention too much and still it doesn't feel bland instead it ends up feeling absolutely organic.
