The Book of Secrets - Loreena McKennitt

Blending of Celtic folk, world, and new age.

# Audio CD (September 30, 1997)
# Original Release Date: September 30, 1997




1. Prologue
2. The Mummers'
3. Skellig
4. Marco Polo
5. The Highwayman
6. La Serenissima
7. Night Ride Across The Caucasus
8. Dante's Prayer


Greg's pick: Track #2 -- The Mummers'
Greg also likes track #4 -- Marco Polo.


You will be taken away by the shear beauty of this CD looking forward to the ever changing sounds as each song plays.
This CD is simply lovely!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loreena_McKennitt
McKennitt is often compared to Enya, but is more grounded in traditional and classical invocations using literary works as sources of lyrics and springboards for interpretation such as The Lady of Shalott by Lord Tennyson, Prospero's Speech, the final soliloquy in William Shakespeare's The Tempest, Snow by Archibald Lampman, William Blake’s Prospero, intended for a dramatic piece of King Edward the fourth and The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes.
The official site for Loreena McKennitt and her private record label, Quinlan Road.

"A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving."

Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu's words are a good introduction to the third album in a trilogy of musical travel documents that began with The Visit. Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios in England, The Book Of Secrets was written and researched all over the world, and, following its release in 1997, would go on to sell several million copies around the globe.

The album features a cast of over two dozen musical collaborators, and the eight songs contained therein, including North American hit single “The Mummers’ Dance”, leads the listener on unexpected journeys. Follow the music from ancient Byzantium to a puppet-maker's theatre in Sicily, or from the rocky island of Skellig Michael once inhabited by Irish monks in the Dark Ages to Venice and the journeys of Marco Polo, or from the tragic narrative of “ The Highwayman” to the thunder of hooves across the Caucasus and the echoes of Dante’ s words found, unexpectedly, in a train journey across Siberia.

It's a very good cd. I really like the guy besides his horrible song 'daughters'. His live album rules.

I love the one he did with Herbie Hancock called Stiched Up. That song was what got me interested in the rest of Johns stuff.

Kardinal Offishall - EGG (Everybodys Gone Ganster)

This is one surprisingly good CD too.
