5 out of 5 stars The most enchanting voice ever recorded..........2007-05-21

Mary Fahl... what a voice... beautiful, mysterious, powerful, enchanting... all these words only try to describe the experience of listening to her
voice. I wish I would have had the chance of seeing them live... and listening to her...
Mary's voice, together with perfect songwriting, makes it the perfect formula for an incredible experience listening to this album.
By far, it's their best album, all songs are unbelievably beautiful, but I have my 3 personal favorites:
1. Bury my lovely - it's a hymn to heaven... it's the best way to describe this song... optimistic, powerful, and Mary's voice in total control.
2. Where you are - beautiful ballad, showing Mary's powerful voice.
3. Return to me - the most perfect and beautiful ballad of the last 20 years... it will touch your heart like no other song before.
BUY IT, dive into Mary's enchantment, let her take control of your feelings. You won't be disappointed...


4 out of 5 stars Hauntingy Beautiful.......2007-05-13

What a hidden gem! The music is beautiful and not well known. This is a wonderful CD.

5 out of 5 stars October Project Video.......2007-03-09

It has been quite a few years now since I witnessed October Project make their 'Bury My Lovely' video in the loft of a friend's barn in Carnation, WA. They worked tirelessly until around midnight in the darkness with limited lighting from the spots on the set and from the kleigs outside the barn windows illuminating smoke effects generated from a tiny box. It was the first time I had heard the group, and the music was completely spellbinding to me....even after multiple takes to try to achieve just the desired effect. Finally, the group wrapped up the evening and preceded them down the dark barn stairs. I was afraid some of them might fall, so I offered my hand to lead the way. Mary Fahl took my hand, and we descended the stairs of the 100-year-old barn together. The spell that she cast on me then continues to this day. Her incredible haunting contralto voice, her presence in the black trenchcoat and (then) dark hair, her ability to transform the lyrics of Julie and Emil into music magic, and that moment when I actually touched her hand....all of it is embedded in my soul. The other reviews here are absolutely correct about the poignancy of this group's first album. Whatever caused the dissolution of this group, it is a shame and a heartache for the rest of us. One can only hope they will reunite.

5 out of 5 stars the best cd ever for be the first........2007-01-11

this cd is their first best no question about it.

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Group and CD.......2007-01-10

October Project will forever be my most favorite music group. I am saddened that they disbanded. Julie Flanders lyrics are incredibly beautiful. Mary Fahl's and Marina Belica's voices compliment one another perfectly. I am a huge fan of Mary Fahl as her voice is hauntingly beautiful. I haven't found anyone who even compares. Thank you for the music!

4 out of 5 stars october project second cd still good but not like the 1 cd.......2007-01-11

No questions the first cd is the best but the second takes some credit also.

2 out of 5 stars Dissapointing.......2006-01-15

I bought it 60% off of $3 so really didn't lose that much. It's a good thing too. Although the music is good and the girl has a good voice, her voice does not work with the music that they play. She'd be much better off doing a solo project with the music that can play alongside her. It's starts sounding like a rock band and then comes in her voice, which doesn't work for rock at all. I'm not saying that "nobody in their right mind would like this cd", I just didn't really like the combination they had.

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful, lush and lyrical, but should be sold with prozac.......2005-12-27

I agree with all the positives that have been said about this undeniably beautiful album, but it is overwraught with apocalyptic neurosis. A few examples: "The world is falling apart / He's getting older / And there's a funeral in his heart;" "...where God has no image and man finds no grace;" "What dark time is coming / What dark time is here / The prophet emerges / In garments of fear." And on like that.
So, while lushly layered and beautifully instrumented, if one actually engages the message of the songs, the net result is quite depressing. And unlike with Toad the Wet Sprocket, which similarly carts an emotionally heavy wagon, there isn't a release through the inherent energy of the music. Similarly nuanced but less emotionally exhausting albums are Wild Colonials' "Fruit of Life," Zero 7's "Simple Things" and Delerium's "Poem".
Happy listening!

5 out of 5 stars Second Project From the Project.......2005-04-24

Continuing from where they left from their self-titled debut, "Falling Farther In" contains more of the moving music that they left us wanting. Mary Fahl's vocals continue to mezmerize and the writing is even better here than on the debut, as if that were even possible! I listen to this CD all of the time, I never tire of it, and have often skied to the Project' and Mary Fahl's vocals. Talk about inpirational music with her flowing vocals among the beautiful scenery.

Favorites on this CD are "Something More Than This," the title cut, "One Dream," and "Adam & Eve."

You can't go wrong with either of the 'Project's two CD's, and in my opinion both are must haves for any CD collection!

5 out of 5 stars A Subtly Textured Tapestry of Hope, Darkness and Yearning.......2005-01-25

"Falling Farther In," OP's second album/CD, bears out the potential evident in their lush, darkly gothic debut. For anyone wanting a "bottom line" review before I dig into details, I'd call this "alterna-goth-pop," with all of the best of many genres present (intelligence, originality, accessibility, a brooding sensibility) with none of the crappy trappings (disposability, suicide-inducing hopelessness, hard on the ears).

Musically, the album manages to be both cohesive and wonderfully diverse. Richly textured with great production and musical depth, the songs range from anthemic, acoustic introspection ("Deep As You Go") to sweeping, lush ballad ("If I Could") to driving, percussion-punctuated rock ("Funeral in His Heart"). "Sunday Morning Yellow Sky" is a stand out track in these regards; driving bass line, sharp guitar strings and a full band to fill in between (and it's hip-swayingly groovy, too). "Something More Than This" features a fluid, rolling piano sound that really builds with the song's themes of ache and hope.

Even more, the music is emminently accessible. Unlike many musical "ar-teests" who seem to think it's their job to create music that's truly work to listen to, OP crafted a very accessible collection of songs with FFI. Whether you're grooving along with the melody or hearing the refrain in your head, the music on this CD was made to be pleasing to your ears (as well as your spirit).

Of course, it's not just OP's music that makes it distinctive. Mary Fahl's voice is in full power here - and I don't mean that she belts it out whenver possible like Celine Dion. Fahl makes full use of her vocal range, as well as being very comfortable singing or even talking quietly. To be sure, her voice soars and swoons, but it's always in service to the song and story, not as a showboat kind of effort. If you've never heard Mary Fahl before, I envy you the joy of hearing her for the first time: she's the brooding pop sister of Trisha Yearwood, someone with a sweet, strong voice that knows how to infuse it with life's sorrow and passion.

Lyrically, FFI is miles ahead of OP's debut. I'd consider the debut album the equivalent of a high school senior's (or perhaps college freshman's) take on poetry and gothic storytelling: you can feel the talent and potential, but it's struggling to breath through the conventions and cliches of the form. With FFI, OP's songwriters really break through. The lyrics are specific, intelligent, literate and meaningful. The album cascades with references to Alice in Wonderland, the 1993 tragedy in Waco, Texas, mid life crisis, the struggle to be a better lover/person, and more. There's a definite undertone of spirituality in the lyrics that's never preachy, always reaching.

And while I DO rate this album with Amazon's highest rating, there are a couple of misfires: tracks 5 and 7. They're not horrible, by any means, but compared to the rest of the album, they're fairly bland and unremarkable. "Johnny" is a tad didactic, while "After the Fall" fails to excite.

But that leaves 9 great songs, a feat by any standard. I can't even pick "stand outs" from the 9 because they're all just incredibly good. Start discovering the richness hidden here - you'll be glad you did.

Postscript: there's a certain amount of irony in that this album is STILL in print, long after Sony deemed OP not commercially viable.

3 out of 5 stars edgier sound; just not the same.......2007-01-03

i first heard october project while shopping in an alaskan department store in 1994; i fell in love with the sound. i have october project and falling farther in on both cd and cassette;they are both well used. the latest october project is a very simple project and has an edge to it, but does not recreate the melodic sounds heard in the previous two selections. no matter what they do there is so much talent it cannot be ignored, but if you are looking for the same sound you heard in years past, this is not the cd for you.i like it, but i can't honestly tell you why!

5 out of 5 stars Simply Superb listening.......2006-07-22

The October Project disc "Differnt Eyes" is a great album. I enjoyed every sound and cadence. The real treat was the band reemergence as a threesome whcih is the real guts of this band. If you have nbever heard OP before, this a a great disc to get started with. I hghly recommend it. Wish it were longer though!

5 out of 5 stars A Sweet Little Package.......2006-07-20

It's hard to believe that it has been 13 years since October Project released their eponymously titled first CD. Perhaps the title of this EP suggests that the reconfigured line-up (singer Marina Belica is now lead vocalist) sees things differently than they once did. The compositions on this CD explore new ground, with lyrics sometimes more playful- especially in the song "forget you." Marina Belica's lead vocals are very satisfying to the ear and I can finally make out all of Flander's great lyrics without reading the liner notes. What remains the same is OP's commitment to great music. It's a sweet little package that leaves you hungry for more. Join the evolution!

5 out of 5 stars October Project past and present.......2006-04-27

The haunting music of Emil Adler, the intriguing lyrics of Julie Flanders, the clear voice of Marina Belica--the crucial elements of October Project, past and present, can be found in "different eyes."

Songs like "The Mind's Eye," "When the Wind Blows," and "Long After Tommorrow" shows that October Project has retained an originality and freshness that sets the group apart.

They do see the world through "different eyes." We should be thankful for that.

5 out of 5 stars Great New Sound!.......2006-04-19

I've been a fan of October Project since their first album in '93, so I was absolutely thrilled to see this new release! Different Eyes brings Marina to the lead, and her incredible voice adds a captivating new sound to the always inspiring songs of Julie and Emil. I would highly recommend this disc to any OP fan, old or new! It's a great compilation of new music. I thoroughly enjoy every song, especially the track, The Mind's Eye.

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing as only October Project can be.......2002-08-27

    October Project is by far the greatest band I have ever heard, and in "Return to me", their second single you can feel enormous sound of Mary Fahl's powerful lead vocals along with the amazing and haunting lyrics by Julie Flanders, Marina Belica's harmony and Emil Adler's melodies, they can take you in an incredible journey. The words combine a subtle mysticism with an earthy sensuality, that are well suited to the intense yearning of the music. Recently this song has come to life once again in the voice of Marina Belica which went to #1 in Rochester, New York and aired for several months and the magic still there, along with Julie and Emil October Project has reborn . Check them out, once hooked you'll never go back to those other bands.
