This CD is a diverse collection of The New York Room's most beautiful and haunting compositions, featuring the transcending vocals of Michelle Graf on this comprehensive 22 song, 73 minute voyage through the dark and ethereal. From the opening track RELIGION (THEME I), you will be taken to the sacrificial altar of pagan worship, on INVOCATION a spiritual chant will lift you high above the clouds to whisper to the angels, weep with the delicate piano echoes on REQUIEM, march along in the caravan on MINION OF THE GYPSIES, and be prepared to be spell-bound by the operatic RUINS OF ATHENS (2ND MOVEMENT).
"I had never heard of this band before this collection, but I am glad I did. 1991 - 1995 is 22 powerful pieces that combine medieval and modern sounds very well. My favorite thing about them was that they actually have recognizable lyrics, so many ethereal bands use so many effects that you can't hear a thing -- not these guys, and the lyrics are great, too!" - 3RD NAIL (Pittsburgh Goth Fanzine)
"This CD delivers 22 tracks of heavenly delight! You will find choir voices, alot of lyrical imagery, angelic synth oriented music, incredibly sweet and sorrowful female vocals, ethnic flavors, softly played guitar and some of the best damn poetry you'll ever read! Well crafted songs that flow and maintain lucid structure while taking you on a poetic journey. Looking forward to the follow up release." - Dark Art Volume VI (Milwaukee Goth Zine)
"The New York Room creates beautiful atmospheres for the listener to wander, created by somber instrumentals and the haunting lyrics sung in the otherworldly voice of Michelle Graf. Beautiful in a melancholy way, 1991 - 1995 not only seduces the listener, it satisfies." - M.K. Ultra zine
