wisp - The Shimmering Hour

Review by Chris Power

The main problems with The Shimmering Hour are twofold. Firstly, when Reid isn't crafting subtle, eddying tunes – ones that whip past and melt away like traces of ocean spray – he's forging big, melodramatic ones that, in the case of 'Kultus Klawata' and the overblown 'Summoner's Hollow', suggest his stated debt to video games might be recognition of a serious Final Fantasy habit.»
