Editorial Reviews "Weep, O Mine Eyes" is a beautiful a cappella love song written by John Bennet (16th century). "Haunted" is an ethereal wail from beyond the veil. "Riu Riu Chiu" is a traditional Spanish song that showcases the harmonies of the vocalists and is one of the many tracks in Latin such as "Libera Me" and "Mysterium" (lead vocal Rebecca Colleen Miller). "Invocation of the Sun" by the poet William Drummond shines with lead vocals by Katy Belle. The Changelings’ Regeana Morris laments on the ballad Ripple. A more classical interpretation is rendered on "Scarborough Fair" while sorrowful keys back up the funeral lay of "An Epitaph" made hopeful by the lead vocal of Dru and Summer. Pleiades is a triumph of artistic vision by Summer Bowman and Dru Allen, vocalists extraordinaire and sets a standard for neo-classical albums.

Album Description
Middle Pillar Presents the debut album by MIRABILIS, a collaboration between Summer Bowman of The Machine in the Garden and Dru Allen of This Ascension. Entitled Pleiades, the album contains original compositions as well as interpretations of traditional pieces stretching back to the 16th century. Mixing a cappella, neo-classical and darkwave instrumentation, the songs blend together the beautiful voices of Summer and Dru as well as guest vocalists Regeana Morris (from The Changelings), Katy Belle and Rebecca Colleen Miller. Pleiades opens and closes with a ghostly choir evoking the two sisters on the album cover. "In the Dark" leads with its tribal rhythm and background chant of ‘In the dark I see clearly’.
