October Project is hard to describe. I like to think of October Project as being somewhere between Gothic Rock, Baroque Pop, and Enya. The regular inclusion of a cello also appeals to me, being a fellow cellist. The bellowing vocals of Mary Fahl and Marina Belica seem almost operatic, and so different from the grunge and hip hop that were taking over the airwaves at the time this album hit the local alternative radio station in 1993. October Project was truly something different to me and I still lament that after two albums the group disbanded, reformed later sans album, and then fell into limbo. Though not technically broken up since reforming, they have release only a handful of songs. They are a staple for me in the month of October and probably always will be, ad infinitum.

Here are my 5 favorites from the album, with "Eyes of Mercy" being my favorite. I should add there is not a single song I do not like on the album. If you like one, you'll probably like the whole album!
