A hidden gem.......2006-07-01

If you like Loreena McKennitt, Celtic Woman, and Enya, you probably will like Elane. Elane is a relatively obscure German band whose music should be heard by all. I discovered this band late last year and been hooked since. The music is an enchanting mix of celtic, folk, and a smidgeon of goth. Vocalist Joran has a lovely voice. There are moments through out the cd that is eerily reminiscent of Loreena McKennitt. Her voice is never overwhelming ala Celine Dion and Whitney Houston or underwhelming like Britney Spears. Simon, Nico, and Skaldir back up Joran's vocals with their lush instrumentation. They keep their roles limited to the background and never drowns out Joran's vocals.

"Fire of Glenvore" is the band's recent album. The music is absolutely gorgeous with its lush Celtic melodies. Unlike a lot of folk albums, "Fire of Glenvore" has a darker edge and that is because of the dark lyrics. All of the songs are wonderful but the songs that really stood out for me are "Moonlight Shadow", "Roselake", "Der Nachtwald", and "Trace of the Flames". I am especially fond of the last two songs on the cd "Moonlight Shadow" and "Roselake", two gorgeous piano ballads.

If you love Loreena McKennitt and celtic/folk music, "Fire of Glenvore" is definitely worth getting your hands on. The music is simply beautiful. It is rare to hear music this gorgeous.
