5 out of 5 stars WOW!!!!   August 24, 2008
I purchased this CD whilst I was on holiday in France and I certinatly was not disappointed. I dont speak very good french and as the disk cover didnt tell me much I liked the design on the front cover and the title so thought this could be my type of music....Well without further ado all I can really say is BUY IT!!!
If you like clannad, secret garden, enigma etc. you will definately love loreena Mckennitt. I am now going to start collecting her work just from listening to this 1 album. This album is magic, at first you think I'm not quite sure about this but the more you play it the more you fall deeper in love. The music is medieval, arabic, celtic and sensual with great atmostphere. This is 1st class music so dont hesitate, just trust our reviews, this disc ROCKS!!



5 out of 5 stars Sublime - almost too good!   April 11, 2008
The music of Loreena McKennitt and her collaborators was unknown to me six months ago. Together with the live set at Granada's Alhambra Palace, this music affirms my notion that there is still beautiful, intelligent music to discover. It is, simply, wonderful. Oh, by the way, all the other recordings are wonderful too!

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.

5 out of 5 stars Ahh... I'd Forgotten...   September 21, 2007

I'd been looking and hoping for a new Loreena McKennitt CD for years. I'd given up hope. Stopped looking...

Then -- there in The Lyric (the Baltimore opera house) -- Loreena McKennitt on tour! First I bought the tickets. Then I bought AN ANCIENT MUSE.

Having moved on from my "new age" phase of some years back my head's been in different musical spaces: serious/wondrous jazz, guitar virtuosos, classical music... So when MUSE arrived... I was in the wrong "gear"...

But with a concert fast approaching I had to find the set list, compile my own iTunes version of the concert, "get ready." And what a world Loreena McKennitt weaves! Ahh... I'd forgotten...

MUSE has been on repeat all afternoon as I worked and thought about what to say. (Ahh... I'd forgotten...)

Once you're in the right musical head space -- world music not jazz, poems set to music not motif development upon development, etc. -- Loreena McKennitt stirs the heart like few others. For me it's her voice, the courage to set long poems to music, the richness of the instrumental sounds... and did I mention her voice?

Having devoured her earlier CDs -- I've got them all! -- I feel confident when I say AN ANCIENT MUSE is right up there with the best of them!

Enjoy... and feast your ears!
