Diamond Black - Sorrow Mp3

This limited edition CD was only available to 120 lucky individuals. Track one is the original version of Sorrow while track two is a stripped down acoustic version of the song.

The voice of singer, JI Turunen combined with the acoustic 12 string guitar of Ben Christo, acoustic bass of Adam Lightspeed and percussion of Jan-Vincent Velazco combine to create a beautiful rendition of Diamond Black's original track Sorrow. This un-cluttered version allows for Turunen's voice to be even more emotive than on the original track. Background vocals of Christo and Lightspeed, provide additional emotive support to this track and in places almost give it an angelic feel.

The arrangement of this acoustic version allows the listener to immerse themselves into the sonic elements of the track. The steady yet understated percussion elements and solid bass line provide a nice canvas for Turunen's powerful yet delicate voice. Combined with the unique sound of Christo's 12 string guitar, it fills the sound field in and around the listener. This reviewer recommends headphones and closing your eyes to get the full effect. The feeling that you are standing surrounded by these talented musicians is real. This track may provide goosebumps if you are one of those luckily enough to own it.
