Maybe because two of them
are on the Cathedral Oceans albums!
Oceanic II is a longer reworking of Oceanic from COIII.
At the moment, I can't place The Beautiful Ghost - pretty sure it features on another album under a different title.
Very much a dejavu kind of release... although it's nice to have this kind of ambient album without the Gregorian-style vocal pieces, which is what sets it aside from the Cathedral Oceans albums, though style wise, it sits perfectly alongside them (as well as My Lost City).
For me this album's merit lies in the artwork. Vivid, colourful imagery fills the booklet, and it's just sublime; as the cover art promises. Possibly John's best artwork package, for me personally - I think I prefer it to the music!
