Ocean: Songs for the Nigh Sea Journey is a high concept album that traces an archetypal spiritual/psychological journey through its course. The author took seven years to complete this broadly conceived project, which is presented as a hybrid of traditional Celtic and 70s-style folk rock and electronic music. Cutting called upon the talents of almost three dozen musicians to assist her in making this concept a reality. With this much intent and effort behind the project, the stakes are indeed high.Some of the numbers on this album are gems, at least in part.
