I have long been an appreciative fan of Lorenna's style and excellent productions, but I could no longer stay in the silent folds of fan-dom.
I have recently had the good fortune to listen to this disc in my studio, with the sole purpose for doing so being to experience and focus on the imagery it conjures up. The sound is truly excellent, and the experience is healing.
Few musical experiences are this rewarding and compelling in this day and age.
What a wonderfully refreshing experience in this world of corporate greed, and meaningless persuits and the homogenizing of mainstream radio fodder, bombarding our ears ad infinitum.
This music and this artist can allow one to rebalance their thoughts while ethereal images of a time and place less plagued by the ravages of societal decay become vivid discoveries.
I thoroughly enjoy this disc, perhaps even more than previous ones, so with that in mind, I must commend Loreena for the creation of a wonderful escape.
My congratulations on a very holistic, mystical experience, which has clearly hit its mark with this listener.
Cheers.

I agree with you whole heartedly!!! Even though I have not been able to dive into An Ancient Muse as deep as I would like to, I know it is as magical as her other creations.
I have become a very picky music critic to the point it I don't respond in the same manner as my heart does with Loreena, I don't listen.
I love to use her music to help heal my clients, even just talking about Loreena's beautiful words and music enhances the healing process. Every time I listen, I wonder, how does she do that? I have a hard time answering what exactly does she do? She adds so much beauty to my world, I have the deepest most respect for her. She is such a blessing to us, I hope in her heart, in her soul, she feels our love for her.
