Their lifespan lasted until 1994, when they disbanded and most likely would have faded away into total obscurity were it not for Projekt Archives reissuing their two albums complete with extra tracks. And for this, fans of warm, soft and lush music should rejoice, as Judgement of Paris is simply a phenomenal outfit deserving of much attention and praise. The band's sound is somewhat similar to Dead Can Dance without the vocal acrobatics. Their music is a very serene and calming entity, relying on a whole spectrum of musical instruments to get their sound across.
Vocals are sparse throughout, but are highly appropriate when they are used.
This album is the kind of precious album you put on late at night with someone you love, to share a tender moment together with candles burning. The mood created is the kind of sound you can fall in love to. The slightly exotic nature of the music matched with the intense warmth make this such an incredibly precious record. Conversion simply demands to be played as a whole and is very quick in converting you into a fan of the music. Robust and alive, magic and deeply inviting, Judgement of Paris' Conversion is truly an overlooked gem that is finally being given a second chance.
