Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Somewhat of a concept album which takes its title literally, the debut offering from this Canadian band is actually two mints in one - Side A (the 'Darkness' side) is all gothic heavy metal posturing with tracks that sound like Hawkwind, speed metal and Black Sabbath. Side B (the 'Light' side) is quite a contrast, sounding more Byrds-like with psychedelic pop guitar lines and reminiscent of St. Etienne-meets-Belle & Sebastian. Blue Fog Recordings. 2004.

I don't know why Dark Moor released this album. The reasoning was apparently was as a last hurrah for the departing often good sometimes awful singer, Ellysa C. Martin. It's certainly not a best of album, since their best work doesn't appear here. That doesn't mean this is not a worthwhile album to purchase.

What "Between Light and Darkness" appears to be, is a grouping of songs that didn't appear on their regular studio albums, bits and pieces from here and there. In fact many of the initial songs have the feel of medieval folk music, like "Blackmore's Night" and the fourth track, "Echoes of the Sea" is an instrumental chamber music piece. It's nice but it's not like there other albums. It's not power metal. The fifth track, "Mystery of Goddess" is back to their original style and the last three songs, all good, are bonus tracks from various previously released albums.

Overall, it's not bad. Just don't expect the usual Dark Moor sound that's on the fabulous albums, "Gates of Oblivion" and "Halls of the Olden Dreams".
