Free Music Notes for Secret Voyage
Free Music Review: Secret voyage
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a new fan to Blackmore's Night. I first heard their music on their Christmas album WINTER CAROLS. I was immediately taken by the group's beautiful brand of medieval folk music. I recently got a copy of their new cd SECRET VOYAGE. I immediately loved the album the very second I started playing the cd in my stereo. The delicate melodies, Candice Night's fragile vocals, and Ritchie Blackmore's dexterous skills as a musician is all there on the album. As I am listening to the cd again, I imagine myself at my local renaissance fair wearing a long flowing, flowery dress with a wreath of flowers wrapped around my head. I loved all of the songs even the band's unique take on Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love". The two songs that really stood out for me is "Gilded Cage" and "Far Far Away". I really just love the lyrics and melodies. After hearing SECRET VOYAGE, I am definitely going to have to check out the band's previous cds. I find myself hooked on Blackmore's Night. I can see SECRET VOYAGE being in my top ten list of best cds of 2008.Free Music Review: Great works by Blackmore again

I had always been a fan to Blackmore since the Rainbow days. What makes this album so extra special (to me at least..) is the song 'Rainbow Eyes'. I always thought that; this song that was originally sung by Ronnie James Dio (taken for Rainbow's album Long Live Rock On And roll)is so beautiful and haunting that I hear it over and over again during my schooldays.
In this album, Blackmore had given a new breath of life to this already beautiful song..
..a good and sturdy vocal...Blackmore's signature (spontaneous improvisation electric guitar playing style - which I consider as a bonus for this song and hope that he will do more of that on future albums)..good music arrangements..makes me listen to this song over and over again now....
How about giving a breath of life for 'Catch The Rainbow' on the next album?
great music....a must buy for Blackmore's fans out there.
Free Music Review: Yet Another Great Album from BN
Hit: 5 Stars
Secret Voyage is another Blackmore's Night album--no surprises, only pure delight. Once again the band has put together a blend of original music based on renaissance themes and great covers (best covers since "Diamonds and Rust" and "Rainbow Blues" on Ghost of a Rose). Most notable on this album are the songs "Locked Within The Crystal Ball," "Rainbow Eyes," and "Can't Help Falling in Love." I can't wait for live versions of these songs!
The album comes with the bonus video "Village Lanterne." The video may be a bit cheesy (with Candice popping out of the lake to zap the bad guys with the village lantern) but the song is one of their best.
Over all, Secret Voyage is a must have for any Blackmore's Night fan and is a great place to start for anyone looking to discover this band.
Free Music Review: Another impressive album from the master himself
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Richie Blackmore going back to his Deep Purple and Rainbow days and quickly took a liking to his music in Blackmore's Night. Richie and Candace do not disappoint on this album at all. I was a bit hesitant about Rainbow Eyes, with it being a remake from Richie's Rainbow days. However, Candace did well on it and Richie's guitar work was nothing short of stupendous. I especially love the song Locked Within the Crystal Ball as there are great vocals on it and Richie's usual outstanding guitar work. If you are a new fan, or a "returning" fan of Blackmore's Night, this album will not disappoint you. A definite two thumbs up from me.Free Music Review: Stranger In Us All....

Not just another excellent album from Blackmore's Night but a brilliant and outstanding performance from both Candice and Ritchie; and the rest of the band. Secret Voyage can be said to be the best album to date by BM. 8 minutes of Locked Within The Crystal Ball followed by Gilded Cage shows the band is in top form. I actually find this version of Rainbow Eyes more exciting then the original version with Candice's ethereal vocals and better lead work by Ritchie. The Circle has good lyrics to ponder. The Peasant's Promise sees Candice with interesting vocal range and another great guitar piece from RB. All in all, this is a great album.
