Various Artists – [2006] The Silent Ballet, Volume I: Poetry Without Words

I can’t best user deaddreamer‘s review: This compilation is irrestible. It is a chronicle of victory spoken by a silent reader whose emotions are large and resonant so much so that they ripple outward the glory of triumph. Got curious? Then read on! 😉
