sing whith your heart.......2006-05-24

the music is beautiful she has a beautiful voice the instermental part of it is beautiful the only thing that does not compare to enye and lorena is that I think she does not sing with her heart if she were to put her heart into her singing it would compare equally

Legends of the Goddess.......2006-03-03

Absolutely beautiful music. Lilting at times vibrant at others. I am a huge Loreena McKinnett fan and have been searching for someone with similar talent and the same ability to stir the soul with music. I have found that talent and ability in Laura Powers. I would highly recommend this CD and am anxious to try more of her music.

still great-second time around!.......2005-10-02

Laura Powers has done it again.I loved her first album so much,that I bought her second one unheard.No mistake-it's as great as the first one!If you love music with a celtic twist,you will love this....

Goddess Bless Laura Powers!!.......2003-11-09

Laura Powers does it again, with her 2nd CD that proves to be as heart warming and mystical as the prior! Laura's voice allows you to connect with that part of your soul that opens up to the flowing and meaningful music that she creates. Dynamic and Soothing all in one! I can't say enough about Laura and her music, it will take you to a new level!!

Smooth........2003-10-08

A nice blend of moods and quite mellow as well.

Beautiful and moving.......2002-10-13

I may have a new favorite artist. The harmonies and light instrumentation blend to give the listener an aural caress that lasts for the whole album. I prefer music where the singer blends into the music and becomes one of the instruments instead of insisting on being the focus of the spotlight.

Beyond the Pale continues the magic.......2002-01-03

Laura Powers does it again. Legends of the Goddess II Beyond the Pale, has all the magic and beauty but is unique. Beyond the Pale has everything you could wish for. Her songwriting is poetry and if you liked the Mists of Avalon or Braveheart you will love this cd. I especially loved the Songs A Heart in Winter and Long Way Down. I cannot say enough to express how much I love her music, you simply must see for yourselves.

Enchanting, moving--music that touches the soul..........2006-03-20

I own several CDs by Laura and they are all wonderful-I especially like the world beat song (The World is a River, great for dancing) and a powerful song to those who know they have met before (I've Loved You Forever.) "Pale Sister" and "Druantia" are mystical, haunting. Her music has a quiet way of making me feel better-empowered and connected. There is a cool bonus song at the very end if you let the CD run-it's a nice way to end it. BTW, my insert with lyrics was just fine-not sure what another reviewer was saying, or maybe it got fixed. You won't be disappointed!

Peaceful and Inspirational.......2004-09-09

I own all three of Ms. Powers Goddess cd's, and love them all. Ms. Powers music is mystical and inspirational. Her voice is beautiful and her songs will touch your soul. Christian or Pagan--you will enjoy this inspirational music. I highly recommend all of her cd's.

The Trilogy Completed.......2004-01-15

This CD is the final installment of the "Legends of the Goddess" trilogy started by Laura Powers.

This disk is her music inspired by the Celtic mythologies. On this CD are songs such as 'Pale Sister', a hymn to the Moon, 'Druantia', to the Goddess Queen of the Druids, and 'It Shall Be No More' about Calan Mai - May Day in Welsh.

The songs range from longing love songs such as 'I've Loved You Forever' and 'Shine Love' to little skipping melodies such as 'Get Inside' and 'Silver Wheel'. There is even a bonus hidden song making a total of ten tracks.

Ms. Power's enhances the music by adding pipes to the 'It Shall Be No More' giving it a deeper taste of Celtic. The topics covered lend themselves as well to the Celtic flavor that Ms. Power's wanted the CD to have.

The track 'Pale Sister' stands out as a lovely. While there aren't any get up off you chair and dance pieces, there are a few upbeat pieces. 'The World Is A River' is one of those upbeat pieces which sings of her remembrance of the ancient world and the connections of ourselves to the earth.

'The Mystic and the Muse' is a love song between mysteries and inspiration. 'It Shall Be No More' is about the banning of the Old Ways in Wales.

The last track on my CD, 'Silver Wheel', did not match the discography included in the package. The song seemed to be a piece called 'I Will Remember You' and the lyrics did not match the lyrics for 'Silver Wheel'. However, after that song, there are a few short verses which match the last few verses in the lyrics for 'Silver Wheel', and then breaks immediately into the reprise of 'Winter of Dreams', followed by the bonus track. While the song 'I Will Remember You' was a lovely addition, the discography and lyrics are confusing, and the song 'Silver Wheel' was intriguing as it appeared to be another of the more upbeat pieces on the CD.

Ms. Power's provides enchanting vocals to accompany the music, the lyrics are inspirational and the CD is pleasing to the ear. Much of the music is soft and slow as devotional music is bound to be. The few upbeat pieces were welcome between the more supple and serious cuts. The recording quality is what you expect of a well produced studio CD.

All in all, if you found Ms. Powers previous works to be delightful, you will find this one completes the Trilogy and is just as subtle as the first two CD's in this set. boudica

From a grateful listener in the Rocky Mountains.......2004-01-08

This new CD from Laura Powers is entrancing. I have her first two CD's and have loved them thoroughly. This latest CD "Trilogy" is every bit as powerful as her earlier music. I first heard this new CD from audios on her website, LauraPowers.com. I feel like I am in a beautiful and personal space when I listen to these lovely melodies and harmonies. Laura Powers' lyrics, especially on "Pale Sister," "Dance Till the Rain Begins," "Silver Wheel," and "Shine Love" just grab my heart. I am instantly soothed and happy when I hear this music, like entering a gentle mystical world. Thank you, Laura Powers! This music has touched me deeply and enhanced many of my days.

"Trilogy" Extends the Legend.......2003-10-10

Laura continues to mature and reach new heights as a writer and singer. Her latest "Trilogy" entry is fresh and new even after many, many listenings to her previous 2 releases. I recommend it highly!
