Review - :
Continuing in the vein of the self-titled debut but more clearly plunging into a wider range of music and style, {^Garden} is the clear transition between the group's competent but derivative goth start and something much, much more special. Opening track {&"Carnival of Light"} captures the blend at play, with rolling drums, dulcimer, processed guitar and more creating a swirling, evocative mix of sound at once new and old. {$Gerrard}'s simply lovely vocals are further icing on the cake. {&"Flowers of the Sea"} is another similarly entrancing effort, simpler in arrangement but no less hypnotic. The remaining numbers, {&"The Arcane"} and the wordily-entitled {&"In Power We Entrust the Love Advocated,"} follow the first album's general pattern -- {$Perry} is again a fantastic singer, but the songs themselves aren't as memorable, embracing doomy goth sonics without adding much to the overall sonic canon. ~ Ned Raggett, All Music Guide
