rikm "Estrella" is truly a magnificent release. Like the score for a vivid dream, it's songs are resplendent with rich guitar tones and beautiful ethereal vocals that fill the soundscape and slowly move the listener along a musical journey.

This latest remaster from 2017 particularly impresses, bringing out a brightness and depth in sound, adding to and improving on an already rich listening experience. The opportunity to hear this classic album with fresh ears is truly a revelation...

Dustfan Lycia was the first band that got me into the "Darkgaze" sound when I picked up a cracked copy of The Burning Circle and Then Dust from a used CD bin in the late 90s. Most tracks skipped but I was intrigued enough to pick up the rest of their discog. Estrella, Cold and Ionia quickly became some of my favorite albums. This is a remaster by Martin Bowes (of Attrition). Favorite track: Tainted.

El Diablo 04:28
see the serpent twine wrapped around her spine coils inside her mind bleeds her eyes so blind she is killing time casting pearls to swine trapped beneath her crime burnt, her skin seeps wine moon turns red, silence speaks ...she is lead welcome sleep...lost her head, monster dreams ...she is dead see the serpent twine crush her alibi intoxicating lie devils sing their lullaby caught up in their schemes drops down to her knees begging baby pleas serpents have their needs... devils have her (serpents twine)

Tainted 05:40
I remember when I was just a little child I remember when all of this felt so alive I remember when I could see and I could smile I remember when I would hope and I would try I remember when I would stare out at the miles I remember when I could fall deep in blue skies I remember when I was just a little child I remember when all of this felt so alive now I look around and all of this just feels like nothing now I look around and all of this is so declined now I look around and wonder why my heart feels nothing now I look around and wonder why the blue skies died now I look around, I realize that I've been tainted now I look around, I see the world through blurry eyes now I look around and all of this just feels like nothing now I look around and all of this is so declined and all of this is so declined

Estrella 06:16
you peach lips rose hips wrapped around you sonlight skintight heaven bound stars fly birds sigh winds cry beneath the ground my love angel grin blessed within lost and found climb into the skin cocoon above our limbs...the harvest moon into the night...we fight, consumed with shouts of fire and hearts in bloom you dizzy kiss our bodies twist void of sound you in my arms away from harm above the clouds with cotton candy lips like dew your pretty face and eyes of blue inside your heart is heaven true forever and always am I with you

aqua smile blue rhythm pulse me you sky blue you molten syrup flows through veins night sky hue twilight sprinkled a zillion eyes shine few this feels new lava consume cool numb and trancing view the galaxy grew rings of dust around us coil embrace to kiss your face breath falls like dust against your skin your perfect skin starshine moon drips dew and pulled me in pulled me in crystal sips of heaven entwined in him drunk on his grin heart soft lullaby swarming my dizzy head blood swim my blood swim soft this dream is mine and I'm his twin I am him

The Kite 05:35
standing in a field flying my kite the string slips out of my hand the kite, it drops out of control tangled and trapped on the telephone wire please help me, don't walk right by the angel's wings are trapped in telephone wires and nobody cares, they go out of their way standing on the street watching the day a car stops in front of me a gun, I drop out of control I feel my blood, seeps warm out of me
10.
Orion 06:35
stars fall and we catch them like snowflakes of light dancing glitter silver moon time stands frozen satellites spin me dizzy I fall into your arms I fall my heaven arms I fall dust pulsates...surrounds angels dreaming for you are my sugar starshine dream with me tonight mine forever the light is calling you swirling heat dream tonight in heaven mine forever mine time the sun turns blue
