Editorial Review: Album Description: 2003 solo album from the Clannad vocalist. Includes the bonus track 'Show Me' (Jakatta Mix). Universal. Amazon.com: A lovely work notable for both its cohesiveness and its aural richness, Two Horizons likely stands as the most broadly appealing solo disc (now numbering five) yet released by Clannad vocalist Moya (aka Máire) Brennan, the oft-overshadowed elder sibling of Enya. Brennan uses a mythic tale involving a much-traveled harp (a totem for all things virtuous) as the disc's thematic center, yet it is the recording's composite sound--resonant, sumptuous, never quite overblown--that inspires repeated listenings. Brennan, who takes several turns on harp, explores a satisfying middle ground between mod and medieval, blending traditional Irish instrumentation with understated electronics and, on occasion, gently propulsive rhythms (akin to what you might hear from Dido), then adorning the whole with a gossamer New Age veil. The effect, as displayed in transitions throughout the disc (such as the shift from the dreamy "Is It Now" to the techno-spiced "Mothers of the Desert"), can be mesmerizing. Like morphing clouds in an expansive sky, the disc's 15 core tracks float by in an enchanting, atmospheric procession, with no jarring disruptions (other than a tacked-on club remix at the disc's conclusion) to break the spell. --Terry Wood Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Sweet soundsSweet sweet sound. I'm new to this type of music but I can tell this is a classic. Rating: - Magnificent Masterpiece! "Two Horizons" is a must-have!Being a longtime fan of her family band Clannad, I didn't even try out her solo albums until recently and I was completely spellbound by Moya Brennan's fifth solo release entitled "Two Horizons". Though I had heard small excerpts of the release around the time it came out which was around late 2003 or early 2004, I didn't get to hear it thoroughly until early 2008 but I was spellbound beyond my expectations. This album is arguably my favorite solo album by this lead singer of Clannad. "Two Horizons" is like nothing Ms. Brennan has created before this. The opening track "Show Me" as well as the epic "Bright Star" are the proofs of my argument. They are powerful songs that emphasize a side of the Clannad family that is sometimes ...

This project, though, is wonderful. I am a fan. Favorite tracks? You can say they all are. "Show Me", "Bright Star", "Change My World" and "Two Horizons" are the best of the best. Rating: - A beautiful voiceIf you want a relaxing album to listen to with a unique beautiful voice all through it this is perfect for that mood. Moya Brennan takes her listeners to another place...you'll forget all your problems for a good long while. Rating:  - nicely donethe musice is beautiful but each track is simmarly composed they do not have very much of a verience |
