Free Music Notes for Illuminate
Free Music Review: Atmospheric, ethereal, medieval tracks do not disappoint!
Hit: 4 Stars
Reminiscent of the best of Loreena McKennitt, Qntal's "Illuminate" contains remixes and singles versions of some of the more familiar tracks from their catalog.
While, as other reviewers have noted, the synthed-out rhythm and percussion can be distracting at points, I find the combination to be exhilerating when (don't laugh) playing RPG-style video games. The lyrics, not in English, do not distract from the task at hand (slaying stuff) while the bagpipes, squeaky horns, heavy percussion, and lilting angelic vocals add high energy to the medieval atmospherics.
Standout Tracks:
Vedes Amigo Illuminate - the best of the lot - fairly groovy with a hook-laden chorus.
Am Morgen Fruo - one of the better "battle music" pieces - high energy tempo with a driving kettle drum.
El Sendero Hacia - all about the atmosphere here - think vistas, wide plains, towering spires of rock - all evoked in a chanty madrigal.
Recommended for gamers, belly dancers, and anyone who enjoys post-modern medieval music with a bit of a groove.
