Free Music Review: Little goes a long way
Hit: 3 Stars
This is a pretty overrated album. The singer is OK, and so is the material if taken in small enough doses. Taken full strength it is dull, depressing celtic elevator music. If you must buy it, put it in your mp3 collection and 'shuffle' it in with some better music (Miriam Stockley, Grey Eye Glances, Porcupine Tree, Jethro Tull jump to mind) and it will provide a semi-nice mix, but taken on it's own it bombs. Better yet, pass on this one.
The Book of Secrets Poster
BONUS DVD (PAL)McKennitt's recordings always have the quality of a spiritual sojourn; her songs are those of a seeker, whether she's setting Yeats, Scripture, or her own words to her compositions. It's this that attracts people to her music, and The Book of Secrets is no exception, whether it's the lazy rhythms of "Marco Polo," the sober joy of "The Mummers' Dance," the poignancy of "Skellig" or "Dante's Prayer," or the drama of Alfred Noyes's "The Highwayman." "The Highwayman" is a particularly strong effort, especially in comparison to her earlier setting of "The Lady of Shalott"; McKennitt has become much more skilled at musical narrative. This is music that can be enjoyed on many levels, from McKennitt's growing skill as a composer to the deeper questions posed by her lyrics. --Genevieve Williams
