The artist's fascination with the ocean, nature - as well as human nature, and the mysterious, comes through in the stories she tells. An underlying theme of concious healing gathered through introspection is a common thread that runs through these three albums, as each one wends its way through what may be a spiritual quest. Cassandra's paintings and photography appear on and throughout each CD cover. REVIEWS ~ "...Cassandra specializes in taking each word and offering it as a gift to you, handing you phrases of poetry as she delicately paints fleeting images upon your mind's eye, with ethereal music accompanying a soothing vocal delivery, easily placing your thoughts wherever she wills." ~ Zach at ZachsMind Radio * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "With the feel of the Cocteau Twins plus ultra-clear lyrics, Cassandra combines that dreamy, surreal quality with new-age sonic and spiritual elements. "Indigo" mixes a heart-centered magical blend of Fink's soothing voice with her accompaniests on guitar and keys along with her vocal and of course, ethereal effects. Rather than highlighting a choice cut or two, the release is like a long drawn-out mantra from the center of the Earth...this Texas-based talent encourages you to bliss out, letting her poetry speak for itself. "Dipping Into Indigo," while sensual *and* sensory, also proves itself to be a fine soundtrack for meditation, yoga, and contemplative moments in love". ~ Jianda Johnson, 6/21/00 issue of The Women of MP3.com - Cyber Muse * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "The "Dipping Into Indigo" CD is proof of digital alchemist Cassandra Fink's ability to collaborate and morph at will...with not only the quintessential speaking voice, but truely lovely vox in the sung vocals. Influenced by a variety of instrumental and world flavours, her work is an inspiring ambient mixture of meditative poetry and music." ~ Sue Braiden of CBC Radio, Canada ****************** "Her first CD is a journey into a poetic landscape like no other...her second collection shows an amazing growth in the artistry presented...with an eclectic mix of guitars, keyboards and drum beats. Although more mainstream and more appealing to the general public, Ms Fink still attempts to paint landscapes and textures with her tracts, although much of her work is obviously inspired by a more Oriental muse. Her voice, haunting and airy, is remniciant of some early Sarah McLaughlan. Above all, her tracks are a cool glass of wine after a long hot day...soothing and refreshing." ~James D. Thwaite
