Era - Era (1996) WMA320 torrent

\"Ameno (Remix)\" starts out with no music at all - just a male choir singing in latin. Before long though, female voices join in with the males to continue the album\'s flow of gradually climbing to a more powerful crescendo ... A solo female vocalist comes in next for a brief moment in the spotlight, and then a subtle beat begins to chime in, only to explode with an infectious Enigma-like dance beat. (Now if that doesn\'t draw you in, I don\'t know what will). . .

The initial sound of Era is something that\'s very akin to Pilgrimage and Lesiem: Gregorian-type choral singing with the occassional electric guitar and english male/female rock vocal, which is the factor that evidently draws in comparisons to Enigma.

I admit, Era does seem to be a bit over-hyped with boundless 5-star reviews, but as I sit here listening to this CD, pondering all of its possible faults, I come up empty-handed. Songs like \"Mother\" and \"Enae Volare Mezzo\" make this a very enjoyable album, and I highly recommend it to fans of classical-crossover, new age, and maybe even world music.
