Music reviews of Parallel Dreams
Music Review: Heartachingly beautiful!
Rating: 5 Stars
I have most of Lady McKennitt's work, but this one holds a special place for me, in that she captures the spirit of the Celts.
The infectious and mysterious "Beltane Fire Dance" and the soaring "Standing Stones" grab the attention. "Samhain Night" is dark and mysterious, "Annachie Gordan" a poignant Romeo and Juliette love story...
The ones that tug at my heart the most are "Moon Cradle", a soothing but melancholy lullaby, and Loreena's vocals on "Ancient Pines"; "the earth's yearning for release from oppression under the human hand" is just the right sentiment.
On "Ancient Pines", I see great forests and great sweeps of land, and Loreena's vocalizing (it sometimes sounds like "no, no, no...!") sounds like the mournful sobbing and wailing of the bean-sidhe (banshee) (and and lore says that if more than one banshee was heard crying at once, it warned that death was near for someone of great importance... Mother Earth, perhaps?)
And Loreena's refined, warbling voice (all the while raw with emotion) is the highlight. I highly recommend this if you want something peaceful (or a good cry).
