- Fabulous!
McKennitt is talented beyond belief! This is the best CD yet in her entire collection. Quite addictive actually!
Rating: - Loreena McKennit is an Ancient Muse.
One of the few real singer songwriters who are as compeling & mesmerizing in person as she is in the studio. Her music is transformative & if you get to see her perform live... You will be too.
Rating: - Another relaxing and surreal moment with Loreena McKennitt
I have been waiting for another CD from Loreena McKennitt. And it was well worth the wait.
This CD is just as beautiful and wonderful as all the rest of her CD's have been. She creates moments of bliss and wonderment.
Thanks, Loreena, for another wonderful CD.
Rating: - Thanks again Loreena !
The mystical sounds of Loreena continue! An artist I respect...for her music comes from the depths of her soul, her experiences and her research. Again, she offers us a glimpse of another time and space! She and her gifted musicians are a special treat!
Rating: - An auditory journey for lovers of all kinds of music...
I'm a fan of all kinds of music - rock, rap, country, anything - but I also appreciate artists like Enigma, Sarah McLachlan, and Enya as well as Classical music and other stuff off the beaten path. I've heard "The Mummers Dance" on the radio and in the movie "Ever After" a long time ago, but haven't heard anything else from Loreena since then.
So, on a whim I bought this CD along with a few of her others just to try it out, and... I just can't stop listening to it! Out the 700-some CD's I own, THIS ONE... this one is a masterpiece, and has become an unlikely favorite for a rocker like me.
AMAZING instrumentation, lyricism, and harmonic quality just completely saturate every track. Loreena's voice is so perfectly in tune, and so effortlessly beautiful, so unique. Each track of this thematic album links together a story that takes place in ancient Persia that is so poetic, inspiring, and peaceful to hear in the form of a song. Her blend of instruments has matured since her first albums, and has arrived at a diverse harmony of both new and old style sounds that you just cannot hear anywhere else. While a departure from her lovely, melodic Celtic music, it's written to be very technically perfect and yet it comes together so naturally that you don't realize how appealing and relaxing it is at first.
Toward the end of the CD, before the d'enouement of the story, "Beneath a Phrygian Sky" will leave you stunned and wanting more. The seemingly random assortment of intstruments become made for each other and chime in against a rhythmic beat, as she brings you into a moving vision she has on a desert night. The poetry of the song will sweep you off your feet, and the cellist will bring tears to your eyes and send shivers up your spine. If there was ever such a thing as a "perfect" song, this is it. And, for me, that's saying something, especially for music that's completely outside of my normal range of listening.
Yes, it is that good. It's like nothing I've ever heard, and I love it. And, regardless of what you normally listen to, you will like it too. If you're interested enough to read the reviews and you're teetering...
BUY IT. RIGHT NOW.
