Free Music Notes for The Visit
Free Music Review: Portal to the Past
Hit: 5 Stars
The music of Loreena McKennitt in the album "The Visit" continues her tradition of evoking the past through her distinctive voice and her use of ancient intrumentation. "The Visit" draws upon Celtic Myth, the poetry of Alfred Lord Tennyson and the words of William Shakespeare. The rich variety of lyric impulses transports the listener to another time and another place. Loreena McKennitt's music is always a journey to somewhere.Free Music Review: Haunting Celtic Maiden
Hit: 4 Stars
Am a mad Tango fiend and track 6 of this CD is one of our favourite tracks to dance to. So I bought this CD for one track - but the rest of it proved both enticing and addictive. Loreena's haunting voices imparts a strong Celtic influence to the tracks BUT they all have an "International" appeal. Traditional Celtic songs are mixed with Sitar music and as mentioned earlier a Tango. This is a wonderful fusion of styles. A bit more like Eva Cassidy than Enya - Loreena uses her voice in clear long notes that are delicately enwrapped by the instrumentation - just enough background music to frame her eerie vocal technique. If you are impressed by clear vocal sound, you WILL enjoy this CD. Arthur/Brisbane.Free Music Review: Being Visited
Hit: 5 Stars
This was the first of Loreena's albums that I ever heard, way back in 1992. It always played in a room at a bookstore that friends and I used to visit, and seemed to be 'calling' to us to that room; drawn by the mystica verve of the tunes. Finally, I bought it; and it opened a whole world to me; a realm of textured sound, sensuous thought, and aesthetic harmony--yet not "New Age." There are deep rhythms here, and a flow that makes the CD as a whole seem like one, unified, artistic creation; all of the tracks hang together, creating a melancholy yet en-spiriting experience that may well lead the listener to meditative centering, trancing or perhaps even inspired circle dancing. It lifts me up when I'm down, and brings me to the vortex when I'm strung out in too many directions. A healing album, as well as one that stirs the imagination. By all means, experience this one!Free Music Review: Beautiful
