Customer Reviews for The Dance Cd Nice Solid Release Rating: While this is more of a mini-CD/EP than an album, WT still manages to shine with this second music release. Once again, they manage to combine an array of differing styles within the album.
There's what sounds like bells (probably the keyboard), a choir, and folk-music leanings at times of the title track. All this combined with drums, soft guitar rifts, and Sharon's voice (which shifts from harsh to soft on a dime) make the Dance a fun song to listen to.
Then there's the gothic/dark sound of "Another Day", which revolves around lost love. Sharon's voice echoes (actually echoes) throughout the song heightening the sense of isolation within the song. Yet it never falls into the generic sound of a pity party. It's a strong song that rises above that. The calming vocals take the listener along for the duration of the song. It's a very easy song to get into.
Both versions of Restless (classical and remix) are both well done. For those who don't know where to find the classical mix-insert your Dance CD into your computer. A music file will show up where you can listen to the classical mix. The remix doesn't have much variation from the original-it mainly has bits cut from the song making it shorter. This isn't bad. It makes for easy listening.
The only song I disliked would be "The Other Half (Of Me)". My major problem is I can't understand what Sharon and Robert are singing. The music tends to drown out the vocals in places. While the music is nice, it's annoying not being able to understand the song because of this.
Remix Candles and Pearls of Light: A very calming remix with slower techno/electronic bits added to the beat. A few trumpet sounds are added as well. Sometimes bits of singing, "oh oh oh," mixed with techno add to the song. There are even bird sounds in the Pearls of Light remix, which is really cool. It's easy to get caught up in the music-it carries the listener along with it.
The Dance is overall a nice follow up to their previous album Enter. Recommended for WT fans and those who like to listen to different styles included an album.
