8 out of 10 When listening to Rudi Arapahoe's wonderful opus "Echoes From One To Another" its hard not to be swept off your feet by it's thick layers of romanticism and dream-like accompaniment. Beautiful "folkloric"/other acoustic qualities like a harp intertwine and at times sway with "story-like" ambience, heart wrenchingly/goregeous piano melodies, sampled rain drops, forest readings, white noise, swirling atmosphere's, and of course Kaithlin Howard's "all ear's on me" vocals. "Echoes.." is for fans of "Nu Classical(AKA Max Richter, Julien Neto, Arve Henriksen, etc.)", Ambient, operatic/worldsy, 4AD's(This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance) Dream Pop/hazey style of music, and just good soothing/romantic music in general.
If you're lost in a dark/dismal forest, Metaphorically speaking or not, completely isolated, you're already living this album.
