Vocals are another story, with Yeon Gyu Sung ("Crying"), ALi ("In My Dream"), and Sun Soo Jin ("Shout to the World") serving up some of the best I've heard all year. The sorceress cursed under her breath, pulling out the last dagger and looking right at the Window, her golden eyes glowing in the sunlight, the power crackling just beneath the surface, dormant yet alert. Rumours that there were cities of gold somewhere in the heart of the Sahara had been circulating for centuries, fed by the seemingly inexhaustible supplies coming to the African coast.
