Throughout the album, Gavin's voice soars miles above the flowing music, but by no means does he hog the spotlight he has incredible instrumentalists crafting layers of sedimentary music beneath him. His voice is celestial, as the name of the CD implies. Singer Gavin Hayes has a love-affair with Thom Yorke's (Radiohead) trademark falsetto throughout most of the album. In contrast with my desire to experience the entire album instantaneously, bleeding it dry in one fell swoop, El Cielo is more of a methodical bloodletting. And that would be just about my only frustration with the disc. Unfortunately I could only take it second-by-second, and found myself disappointed that I couldn't swallow it whole, be completely enveloped by every minute of this CD at once. I poured through every second of the CD any chance I got.
