 Rating:  - Absolutely BeautifulA perfect album for relaxing after a hard day's work at the office. Rating: - purists may not like it but everyone one else will!This is a beautiful albul full of haunting melodies coupled with exiting, rawcous sining. The medieaval excerpts themselves are extremely interesting and entertaining and they helped me in no end with the studying of A Level English! This album may not be as accesible as later Baebes albums but it remains bt far the purist and most overtly classical of the three. I would not hesitate to reccomend this album to anyone - with the exception of the classical purists. I would say however that the first Mediaeval Baebes album a newcomer should by is either their 'Best of' or Worldes Blysse which is the more accesable of the three. By the way I also listen to Hole, My Ruin, Nirvana and Deftones so dont be put off if you dont usually buy classical ...

It's absolutely brilliant, the voices all blend together superbly whether they are unaccompanied or accompanied by atmospheric music. Rating: - Lashings of pure, vibrato-free singing!This is a pleasant little album to listen to. It's a bit hard to categorise - it isn't out-and-medieval/Renaissance music, it certainly isn't pop, but yet it's not really a crossover. What it is though, is a good introduction to a form of singing which has been sorely neglected - old church music, folk songs, and especially something approaching their original language, pronunciation etc. OK, the pedants among you may not appreciate the fact that it is sung by a group of pretty young women, most of whom have little musical training - you must remember that folk sings were sung by normal people; not that I'm knocking the quality of singing - there is something heart-rendingly delightful about the pure female voice - vibrato-free, with no pretensions ...
