So Artist Website not reachable ?
Hi there, please update this info.
It's a pity my friends.

Lovely. 

Sorry, this is Kitsch. Zero points from me.

at first I thought this was Annie Haslam

Saw one of her last concert in Frankfurt: wonderful. One before in Milan, also wonderful.

Not only because of the music: she paused the performance a couple of times to do some conversation and inform us about what she thinks of the world. She's not just an excellent musician, she's also a good and wise person.

I hope she will return to music some day. In the mean while, thank you for playing her songs!
She has many masterpieces lying around: you can definitely found more worthy of RP.

I remember watch her busk in St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, in the mid eighties!

Woah! DJ Shadow just became Loreena somehow on the world beat eclectic channel.
Sometime you just want to rewind a bit to check out the transition.....

Welk - I Love her!

Have you noticed how this particular Loreena McKennitt song sounds a lot like ... every other Loreena McKennitt song? Who buys these? I mean, unless your mindset is permanently lodged in some netherworld of princesses and fairies and I don't exactly know what else, these creaky dirges to the drama of some Camelot world are the most boring things on RP. It's like Kate Bush meets The Ladyes Delight . I prefer either to LM, at least everything after her first album (The Visit?), which just sounded fine and should have ended there, or bring in some guitars and drums, please, before we die of boredom.

Music for 40-year-old virgins playing Dungeons & Dragons. :propeller.gif:

There is really no one quite like her. Her choice of North African, Celtic, Old European musics and instruments along with lyrics meditating on Paganism, Christianity, Islam, Old wives' tales, and bardic tales--just makes for stunningly rich and coherent, multivalent material. Another 10!

Jaysus, Eye Kant Tayke it--Aynuff wuhman!

I hate to buck the tide, but this woman makes me hurl. The distaff Al Stewart (and for me that's a BAD thing).

If I owned a pair of tights you can bet I'd be right there.

Loreena McKennitt is one of my all-time favorite musicians. I love the way she combines history, poetry and melody with layers of complex instrumentation to create songs that are romantic, epic and timeless. Thanks for playing her!

I can't understand why Lorena is so popular...I am very tolerant about music but she is too drmatic about the way she sings...

I never tire of Loreena McKennitt. Her music is timeless and beautiful, and it puts me in a positive frame of mind no matter what my mood. More, please!

Awesome. One of the best concerts I ever saw was Loreena at UC Boulder, May 94. Thanks for playing this!

........TOO MESMERIZING FOR WORDS........

touches my soul in a way I can\'t explain takes me to a world lost long ago...

HAHA! You're too funny.

Are you serious? Yeah, this is a bit enya-ish. No Enya and REM are not in the same category unless you like rather wide categories... maybe you can lump the sex pistols in there as well?

It seems to me that most, if not all Loreena\'s music tells a tale of some sort (thanks for the bard reference below). Her songs are definitely based on another point in time and I think they reflect that era. Okay, I don\'t know what era exactly, but I\'m thinking anywhere from the 14th to 16th Centuries. I really enjoy her music - it speaks to my past lives. Call me nuts, I don\'t care. Her music touches my soul in a way I can\'t explain.

Make it stop!

OK, Harry Potter got the up-tight Right bunched up in the shorts, but after Lord of the Rings I think they realized there's no point fighting it. Or maybe somebody reminded them what U.S. Consititution says about freedom of religion (I doubt it). Wonderful music in any case.

nicely put...and certainly the reason i keep listening

It's quite ironic, but I am always in the mood to hear lonely, wailing, morose ballads. I just love to wallow in the melancholy that these types of tracks exude. It's kind of a luxurious bath of sorrow that being an optimist, I don't normally indulge.

I always find that Loreena Mcknennitt drives me away from radioparadise. It\'s sad but I just can\'t handle her style... I also really dislike this genre\'s cliche of generating a sense of mystic awe by drenching the sound in gobs of reverb. The sound is so boring and fake. Chip

i\'m with those who don\'t need to hear her wailing for a while... :roll:

Roger that.

I just can\'t take this song any more. This song and \"The Highwayman\" are both lonely, wailing annoying ballads that you really have to be in the right mood to enjoy. I\'m usually not in that mood.

I don\'t know about y\'all, but I think I\'ve had about enough of this song over the last ten years. Can we please give it a rest? And that highwayman track of hers, while we\'re at it. Loreena McKennitt - The new ZZ Top: All the tracks sound the same, and the fans don\'t care!

Which Century?

Very 70\'s.

So shall it ever be. I assume that you do find enough of the music played on RP to interest you and perhaps keep you as a listener. The double edged sword (oops cliche ;o) )of diversity would have it that all of us will hear some things we feel negative about as well as the converse. But oh how I love the opportunity to hear what RP has to offer. Topically, it would seem that Loreena's choice of subject matter is somewhat akin to that of the Bard (tragic and morbid content - shuddddddder - oops I'm bordering on analysis and contradicting myself ahead of time) I was going to say that my musical appreciation is on a much more visceral level (as in heart or feelings et al) I suppose it's my primative nature. To me this song is aurally appealing, it's subject matter recounts a story or a tale perhaps typical of the time frame songs like this would have been in vogue. In general, pulling a number out of the air, I would say that I like upwards of 70% (conservatively speaking) of what I hear on RP. I would hazard a guess that you also like a fair amount of what you hear too, if so, that's great, because we need more of this type of programming. Sure we can hear some things we like on the radio, then a little later on the same station we wil hear it again, or 2 minutes later a few clicks up or down the the dial we'll hear it again ... Long live RP and it's brethren and long live diversity and mutual respect of each other's tastes whatever they may be.

Zzzzzzzzzz.......

each to their own I suppose. I find this music to be a little cliched in terms of content (the topics are always a little morbid or tragic or both) and delivery (breathless, lilting etc..) - obviously these are the same things that some of you like about it, but the songs in this genre don\'t do anything for me

If you\'d like to know a bit more about Loreena check out her website at www.loreenamckennitt.com - I\'ve read querie from some folks wondering about her other material ... To those inclined, enjoy.

Excellent sound and arrangement.... maybe a bit disturbing what she is singing about !!

I don\'t think that I have ever heard a Loreena McKennitt song that I didn\'t like. This lady is awesome.

huge fan here.
