Music reviews of Adiemus III - Dances Of Time
Music Review: An attempt at variation, but ends up too folky.
Rating: 3 Stars
When I first heard the Delta Airlines commercial I instantly noticed the song and wondered who had composed it. Eventually I found Adiemus and really enjoyed their first album, Songs of Sanctuary. It was rich, expressive, and most of all original. The second album, Cantata Mundi was basically more of the same but had a more orchestral feeling, and overall wasn't as good as the first, but wasn't that bad either. Then there's the third album, Dances of Time. It's not that this album is really bad, it's just that it doesn't provide anything new. Carl Jenkins appears to have wanted to transcribe the unique sound of Adiemus onto other styles of music such as the tango, and square dance but the result is instead a mishmash of folky dance rythms, and classical waltzs. I still feel that Songs of Sanctuary was the best and it just got worse from there, which is a shame considering that the style had a lot of potential. Many of the songs in Dances of Time are upbeat and "move" but overall it seems too contrived. A for effort, C for implementation. Sometimes change is not a good thing. If your a big Adiemus fan you might want to give Dances of Time a go, but otherwise stick with Songs of Sanctuary and leave the others be.
Description of Adiemus III - Dances Of Time
Adiemus III - Dances Of Time by AdiemusThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
Adiemus is a studio creation of Karl Jenkins, the former Soft Machine keyboardist whose first album, Songs of Sanctuary, spawned the unlikely hit "Adiemus," heard on a Delta Airlines ad and compiled on the mega-selling Pure Moods collection. Plugging into Gregorian chant, ethereal Celtic music, the hybrid language of Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance), and the layered vocals of Enya, Jenkins hits all the exotica buttons. His Enya is Miriam Stockley, who can sound like a boys choir or an African tribe. The initial Adiemus album had an undeniable charm and exoticism, and, despite its advertising lineage, gorgeous melodies. While Adiemus II was mired in Jenkins's symphonic aspirations, Adiemus III regains some of the charm of the original. But Jenkins's writing is overly precious, drawing on superficial aspects of global dance rhythms that make Adiemus come off like Disney's "It's a Small World After All." --John Diliberto
