Album Description

Irish musical siblings The Corrs--featuring sisters Andrea (vocals), Caroline (drums), Sharon (violin), and brother Jim (guitar/keyboard) --have sold over 30 million albums worldwide with their signature blend of traditional Celtic sounds and contemporary pop/rock. The internationally renowned group's first U.S. compilation spans 1996 --2006 and boasts five Top 10 U.K. singles including the #1 smash "Breathless"(a BillboardÂ® Top 40 hit in the U.S. as well). The treasure-packed disc includes the hits "Summer Sunshine" and "Angel," live cuts featuring U2's Bono and the Stones' Ronnie Wood, a new mix of "Goodbye," and the recording debut of "All I Have To Do Is Dream" with French star Laurent Voulzy. Driven by The Corrs' gorgeous melodies, crystalline vocals, sublime harmonies, and Celtic passion, this new collection is the stuff DREAMS are made of.

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful Music.......2007-07-28

Everything arrived on time and in tact. The music on the CD is expressive and typically Corrs. All the favorites and some traditional. Some different versions and the CD as a whole is a joy to my ears.

Everything sounds the same.......2007-06-15

This is the first CD I've had from this group, and was hoping for something that sounded Irish. Unfortunately, both myself and my wife thought all the songs were basically the same and the group did nothing for us at all. Each to his/her own, but I am not impressed at all and this will be the last CD from the Corrs.

Dreams: The Ultimate Corrs Collection.......2007-05-07

A great collection of their best songs. I wished it would have had "All the love in the world on it". Very happy with the purchase and suggest it to anyone who is a Corrs fan.

Where's the original album versions?.......2007-04-22

This is a fine compilation of The Corrs' career so far, but it contains too many remixes and live versions, rather than the original album versions.

The Ulimate Coors Collection........2007-04-10

This greatest hits collection by the Coors does improve on the first greatest hits that was released. It covers all of the favorites along with a couple new ones. It is a must-have for the Coors fan!

REQUIRED LISTENING!.......2007-06-16

Loreena McKennitt.....even thinking or saying her name is "romantic", (sounding perhaps like someone from a great gothic novel from the past, perhaps a name long ago associated on the stage or something, Arthurian, perhaps.)

And, in truth, romantic, mystical, Celtic, etc, certainly DO apply here in her case. If you are familiar with her already, then you know what I refer to. If you ARE NOT familiar with her, by all means, stop "starving" yourself for great etherial Celtic strains to pass over your ears.

I discovered McKennitt several years ago, and have all her albums. ALL of them are truly excellent, very great musical "journeys" for your mind and soul. This album is, as most of them, a wonderful, growing thing...that becomes more deeply connected with you with each listening. She is SO VERY DIFFERENT, her output is simply magical, and there is no way your mind heart and soul will not be "glad" or "thankful" that you purchased this album.

Every piece on this album is great, impossible, really, to single any of them out. This disc, as all her albums, is, again, a homogenous piece, all songs feeling like they are related to each other.

This would be a good album for one to start with if you are unfamiliar with her, it is particularly satisfying on the ear, and will give you a good intro to Loreena McKennitt and her music.

Pick up a copy and take it home and relax, perhaps with the lights lowered, and let this music sooth and calm you, and believe it or not, heal you from the day's hectic bruisings. ~operabruin

Who could ever tire of Loreena's angelic voice?.......2007-05-13

This is but another Loreena McKennitt piece of music where you have to ask yourself, "How is her voice so beautiful?" However, I still think Book of Secrets is by far her best piece of work. This cd is very good and, as always, the songs are made more beautiful by her exequisite voice; I just didn't think the songs themself were as pretty as those in Book of Secrets.

Fusion music of nuance and mystery!.......2006-10-01

It is with this album that McKennitt's awesome talent as a composer/arranger truly finds that distinctive voice--somewhere in between Celtic, jazz, folk and world music--that is so prominent and beloved in her later work. Most of the music and some of the lyrics as well on "Parallel Dreams" are written by McKennitt in their entirety rather than being arrangements of traditional tunes or poems. There's still a sense of quiet restraint about many of the songs on this album, but this time it's underlain by a pregnant intensity of synth chords and percussion, released into the music just enough to give it an air of mysterious purpose without overwhelming McKennitt's ethereal vocals and nuanced harpistry. Guest musicians include Rick Lazar on udu drum and congas, Ratesh Dasj on tablas, guitarist Brian Hughes, violinist Oliver Schroer, cellist, bass and tamboura player George Koller, mandolin-player David Woodhead, piper Patrick Hutchinson, percussionist Al Cross, and Shelly Berger on pzud. Loreena McKennitt's previous album is "To Drive the Cold Winter Away," and the next one in the sequence, continuing her intriguing development as a composer, is "The Visit." I love everything she's ever done-- she's as true a talent and as creative a genius as you could ever wish for in a musician. But what impresses me most about her is how stirringly and satisfyingly her work has evolved over the years. She just keeps getting better and better! Try also the Celtic / folk / world music stylings of singer and multi-instrumentalist Kate Price and the work of dreamy vocalist / pianist Lydia McCauley.

Georgous and eerily haunting!.......2005-12-19

Loreena McKnnitt's voice is superb and so poetic on this CD. As all the other CD's of Loreena McKennitt's, the music and her voice is inspiring and beautiful. For anyone who loves the haunting melodies of Celtic music, Loreena McKennitt CD's are a must.

Loreena the Celtic songstress weaves dream-music.......2005-10-03

Lorenna McKennitt is the Celtic Queen of the 21st Century. She links us to the romantic, sad, and tragic Celtic tradition with a contemporary flair. She rearranges traditional Irish folk songs and also writes contemporary works that hark back to that age.

In "Samain Night" and "Moon Cradle" she displays her considerable musical talent with her hauntingly beautiful voice and superb pacing of lyrics. Like the great Jazz vocalist, Ella Fitzgerald, or the super-star Joni Mitchell, Loreeena's control and pacing is fantastic causing the listener to hold their breath with each pause.

In "Huron Beltane Fire Dance" we are treated to a contemporary tune with Irish undertones.

In "Annachie Gordon" this traditional work is not rushed but is fully developed over 8 minutes, as Lorrena weaves a tale of love for a handsome young poor man, Annachie, by Jeannie. Jeannie's father insists she must marry a rich man rather than the pretty poverty stuck Annachie. Jeannie argues with her parents but they insist she marry. After the marriage she refuses to sleep with the Gentelman she marries and she warns her family that she will die if she can not love Annachie. As her brides maids undress her for the bridal chamber, she falls dead from a broken heart. When the maids tell Annachie he rushes to her body, kisses her cold lips, and then also dies of love. Wow! These folks knew how to love didn't they? At least Romeo and Juliett had poisons and swords. McKennitt's treatment of this song is very straight and traditional without irony but rather as a soft tale of love's power.

"Standing Stones" is actually a ghost story as young lovers part in the night and as the male lover returns home a dark figure jumps him and stabs him in the heart. As the female lover reachers her home, she sees an apparition of him holding his wet chest and pointing to the stars above as he vanishes in the mist.

"Dickens' Dublin (The Palace)" is an odd but interesting piece. While Loreena sings a sad tale of a poor young homeless woman, an Irish waif recites the Christman story with emphasis on the stable shelter where Mary and St. Joseph seek refuge so that she might bear the Christ child.

"Breaking the Silence" evokes the theme of freedom for oppressed people and is devoted to Amnesty International.

"Ancient Pines" is from the film "Goddess Remembered", and evokes the theme of the earth's final release from the torments of the human race upon its resources and beauty.

The CD is very even in tone and mood, allowing you to dream and drift as she goes from song to song. Her incredible Celtic voice pierces your heart but her delivery could sooth a restless sea.

In 1994, Irish soprano Mèav Nì Mhaolchatha (pronounced Mäev Nee Wail-cot-ha) became a featured soloist with Anùna, Michael McGlynn's Dublin-based choral ensemble. Her star rose after the group toured with the Riverdance troupe and quickly achieved international renown. Then, in 2005, an extravaganza called Celtic Woman debuted, and its five female singers---Méav plus Chloë, Lisa, Órla, and Máiréad---followed its massive success with a torrent of solo albums: Méav's eponymous release (2002) and Silver Sea (2004) are only two examples thereof. These offered still more Enya-esque, mostly ethereal ballads from Irish and other sources: all very effective in their way but pure mass-market show-biz and best avoided by die-hard traditional music fans. But the material on the current reissue dates back to the Riverdance era and is another matter entirely. It showcases thirteen tracks recorded by Anùna during the original Riverdance sessions, the vast majority with Méav singing lead. The stately and elegiac program harbors recollections of composers Edward MacDowell and more recently, Patrick Cassidy, or even Ralph Vaughn-Williams, who so often incorporated British folk and early music sources into his works. --Christina Roden

Spiritual Rapture.......2007-07-08

There are two songs that particularly send one into states of rapture when listening to them during meditation they are: Nobilis Humilis and Beati Quorum Via. The entire album is quite a spiritual journey full of mystical melodies and angelic voices.

Celtic Dreams indeed!.......2007-03-22

The songs are different but they are growing on me. Meav is awesome as usual. Her voice is as high and clear as ever. I'm so glad this was released. Makes my collection of all things Meav easier to obtain. Great listening!

Sweet Celtic Dreams........2006-11-02

Celtic Dreams is another fine preformance by Meav in her early years. I highly recommend this to everyone, especially fans of Meav and Anuna.
John Cranmer

OK CD, nice voice.......2006-08-05

I like Meav's voice, and this CD is OK, if you like this kind of stuff. Think slow and somewhat depressing. I think Irish music has moved on so much since Bill Whehlan of Riverdance brought it into the modern times, and came up with this vocal sound, I guess to hark back to earlier times, which worked well because Riverdance has so much contrast in it and the choir songs only appear as relief to the other music. This is all a bit samey and dull. I would say saved by this lady's fine voice though.

There's something to be said for specialization in any field--and that includes the music biz. Davy Spillane plays Uilleann pipes, which isn't exactly like playing the bass. You don't get calls to every session. But if you're a world-class Uilleann pipe player of Spillane's rank, the likes of Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor, and Elvis Costello come calling when a particle of piping is required. The Sea of Dreams finds the veteran woodwind player continuing to explore his muse as a leader. Unwaveringly cinematic in scope, Spillane's music conjures images of rolling hills and crashing waves. O'Connor, who employed Spillane on her 1987 Gospel Oak EP, returns the favor here, singing "The Dreaming of the Bones" and "Danny Boy." That latter warhorse is particularly striking; say what you will about Sinead, she's always been a commanding interpreter. Her presence brings this Irishman's ethereal music down to earth, where at least a portion of it belongs. --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

Magnificent.......2004-09-05

I fell in love with Davey's music while watching Riverdance, but I didn't know how to find out more about him. I finally found and bought Sea of Dreams and I can honestly say that it's beautiful, haunting music that grips your heart and takes you to Ireland. My great-grandmother from County Cork would be in seventh Heaven if she was alive to hear his music. Thank You, Davey!

Beautiful, but not traditional Irish.......2003-09-16

"Sea of Dreams" is moody, ethereal and outright spacey. If you like Nightnoise and Enya, you'll love this CD. If you want anything resembling traditional Irish reels and jigs, you won't find it here. Contemporary keyboard sounds and dirge-like tempos water down the Irish tone of the arrangements. Davy Spillane is outrageously talented and a master technician but I'm personally disappointed to see him move farther and farther afield with this....Irish meditation music.

A sea of beautiful moods........2001-04-13

I have heard the powerful pipes of Davy Spillane almost everywhere. With Enya, with Maire Brennan, on the original Riverdance, on "Celtic Solstice" with Paul Winter, and on Adiemus's "The Eternal Knot". He seems to me to be the best uillean piper of Ireland, but this is the first time I've heard his own music, and I am very impressed. "The Sea of Dreams", starts with the very uplifting "River of Drums", in which the pipes play a very slow, flowing rythm. The rest of the music continues that mood, with the guitar and keyboard adding to the mood. Sinead O'Conner even plays a role in "Dreaming of the Bones" and "Danny Boy 'The Derry Air'"(she does well with traditional music) on track 7. Track seven actually combines Danny Boy and the Londonderry Air, two songs with the same tune, but different lyrics. All of the tracks of this album provide a dazzling blend of Celtic and pop music, with the harmonies and melodies of the low whistle and uillean pipes. I adored the traditional sounds of "Inagh",the dramatic sounds of "Equinox", and the very simple, poignant "The Morning Dew". One of the best tracks is "Midnight Walker", one of Spillane's greatest hits. It's a musical piece that gave good influence to Paul Winter, and was the prequal to "Dawnwalker". Spillane has done well in influencing the musicians and artists he has worked with, for his music brings great wonder and inspiration to those who hear. Those who love the unique sounds of the uillean pipes and want soothing music well feel at home hear.

I'm hooked!.......2001-01-04

I first became aware of Davy Spillane and his hauntingly beautiful music when I saw the movie "Wurthering Heights" with Ralph Fiennes. I was hooked from the first note. I was disappointed to learn that the sound track was not available to purchase, however, I did purchase the "Sea of Dreams" CD, and have become a forever fan of Mr. Spillane's. I will continue to purchase his CD's both past and future.

DAVY SPILLANE BLACKSHEEP OF THE PIPERS........2000-11-05

The opening track on Sea of Dreams River of Gems is Davys second undertaking of this tune also Daires dream and May morning Dew have appeared before on recordings,the first two tracks I mention are previously available on Davys first solo album Atlantic Bridge,although the production here is far superior to the origional recordings,the track May Morning Dew previously appeared on the Moving Hearts final album The Storm a milestone in Irish music.Midnight Walker was first recorded on the album Pipedreams,and Equinox appears on Shadow Hunter.This leaves us with Big Sea Ballad,Dreaming Of The Bones featuring Sinead O Connor on vocals,the beauitiful haunting Inagh,Danny Boy also featuring Sinead and the title track The Sea Of Dreams,but I must admit here its the bonus track which sticks out for me,My Heart Will Go On(theme from Titanic minus Celene Dion).All in all I would have to say because I have followed Davys career through out the 80s and have purchased everything in the past this album comes across to me personally as a sort of compilation of remixed Davy Spillane tunes,this is not to say I am dissappointed with this offering,this album is a fantastic tribute to the Irish Uilleann Pipes played by the greatest piper in the world today,Davy has singlehandedly taken Irish music by the scruff of the neck(to coin a phrase)and shown the world what an emotional instrument the Uilleann Pipes are,I take my hat off to you Davy Spillane,continued success.

Customer Reviews:

Same Old, Same Old........2007-05-21

Yes, this is a decent enough compilation--unless you're a long-time fan and have just about everything they own. With the exception of a great new remix of "Goodbye" (which justifies buying this collection by itself), a new studio recording of "When the Stars Go Blue" with Bono (Already heard this live on the Dublin album, and it's almost identical), and a nice clean version of the old Everly Brothers hit "All I Have to Do is Dream," there is nothing new here under the sun.

The problem? We have been getting remixes from the band over and over for too many years when they don't feel like working for a year or two, and the activity on a lot of their websites is getting low. Considering the marital and population explosion of the bandmembers--with the exception of Andrea--I hate to agree with a reviewer who observed last year on their Home album that Atlantic seems to be grooming Andrea for a solo career. At first I was angry with his assessment, but now it seems that way. If the band really wants to satisfy long-term fans and spend more time at home with their families, (I have been suggesting this to a few of their websites) they ought to release a celtic/pop Christmas album that will allow them to get more acceptable airplay here in the States and will only have to make random promo appearances worldwide for two months--a win/win situation.

Otherwise, if you aren't as big a disciple as some, this is a good collection to compensate with any others you may have, and you should purchase it by all means. After all, when all is said and done, some Corrs is better than none.

For casual or new fans.......2007-04-15

I was a huge Corrs fan back in the mid '90s but over the years my taste in music has evolved into more aggressive forms of music. I do though like to take off the edge from the music I regularly listen to every now and then with lighter forms of music. I recently found myself having the urge to listen to The Corrs music. With my cds gone, I decided to pick up the latest best of compilation of their hit songs. Unfortunately the US never caught on to the band's brand of traditional Irish and modern pop/rock music. It is a shame though. I always did enjoy their music up until a couple of albums ago when I found their music completely ditching their Irish roots. "Dreams: The Ultimate Collection" is a fine collection of the band's popular songs. I absolutely the opening track "Goodbye". It is quite catchy in the vein of "Breathless" which is also on this compilation. There are a few songs by the band that I have never been too fond of like "Forgiven Not Forgotten" and "Only When I Sleep". Personally I always felt those songs were devoid of a good melody. All of my favorite songs are on the cd so I can't complain about any song being excluded. Overall "Dreams" is the perfect compilation for casual and new fans.

Dreams: The Corrs Collection.......2007-03-09

I'm a huge Corr's fan, so this was a must have, I already owned their other greatest hits album, this one has other updated songs on it, very good album and I enjoy it.

Best of....Part 2.......2007-03-08

If you are new to the Corrs....welcome to, one of, if not THE hardest working band in the business!! The cd contains awesome respresentation of just how diverse and talented this group is. From the odd cover of "Old Town," to haunting "Forgiven, Not Forgotten." This cd is a good mix of ALL their albums. "No Frontiers," features Sharon and Caroline singing and Jim playing piano. First heard on their Unplugged album, it's still a favorite. Enjoy a "slight glimpse" into the "incredible" world of The Corrs.

As a hardcore Corrs fan, I was disappointed. Out of the twenty tracks, I had all but two on other albums. If you're a fan, hold out for the import from Spain and get the DVD that comes with the cd.

On a side note, I reccomend new listeners to start with the first Corrs album "Forgiven, Not Forgotten."

Excellent Album.......2007-01-20

A long awaited collection of some truely memorable hits all in one place. Plus the addition of some rare tracks and even a couple i had never heard before. This album encompasses some of the best work from the early albums up to the most recent. Definetly recommend buying this album and if you have never heard the corrs before, this album will show you why they are such a wildy popular internationally acclaimed band

I have all of Coulter's CDs. Each is better than the next. I play them incessantly. Music is both very relaxing while still being quite rousing. Everyone should love all of his music.

One of the Master's best.......2006-04-07

Forgotten Dreams is a collection of music to soothe the worst sort of turmoil. It ought to be played in the prisons, I think. It takes one back to another era, a time when life was good and sweet and we felt loved and a part of a great and gentle family. 'I Loved the Ground She Walked Upon' is a gripper. If it doesn't melt your heart....you're dead! This is the CD I'd take onto a desert island if I could only take one.

Simply some great music.......2001-07-15

I first heard the music on this CD while shopping at a furniture store. I liked it so much that I asked the sales person what the name of the CD was. I bought it and have enjoyed it immensly ever since. The music has an emotional quality to it that speaks to the heart.

Album Details

A Beatifully Presented Triple CD Box Set Containing 46 Enya Masterpieces, Including Three New Songs.

Customer Reviews:

Best Enya compilation.......2006-03-13

I think that the way in which the songs were separated into 3 CDs was an excellent idea: first the up-tempo songs, then the instrumentals (which include some of the most beautiful pieces Enya has ever recorded, "River", "Lothlorien" and "Oriel Window" being my favorites) and then the slowest cuts. My only complaint is that "Epona" from _The Celts_ was left out of the compilation, but it is really a minor complaint. This is without a doubt the best Enya compilation out there.

Forget all about the Only Time collection, this is it........2005-03-16

This collection might possibly be one of the best box-sets ever made. From the midnight-blue box with silver print, the delicate booklet featuring semitransparent pages as just one of many artistic details, to the beautiful cover artwork - the visuals of this set is outstanding. There's no little detail here that hasn't been considered. Notice how beautifully this matches the artwork of the Best Of CD 'Paint The Sky With Stars', but how this set takes it one step further (the owners of the single-CD collection probably never grasped the significance of the three buckets of "paint" on the back cover - on with Clouds, on with Oceans and one with Stars - this is in fact the three themes of the CDs in this set). But that's only the artwork.

The music has been considered at least as much in this set. The separation of the songs in three different themes are brilliant! Disc 1 -Oceans - contains the more upbeat songs, and thus most of her radio hits like Orinoco Flow, Book Of Days, Caribean Blue, Anywhere Is, China Roses, On My Way Home and the recemt Only If ... However, a plenty of less familiar songs are included as well - personal highlights are the magnificent Storms In Africa and The Longships (imo. two of her best pieces ever), the enchanting I Want Tomorrow and the dark and menacing Cursum Perficio, Pax Deorum and The Celts.

Disc 2 - Clouds - contains instrumental pieces (or songs without any true lyrics, the exception to this being Afer Ventus) - in fact a quite varied selection including piano-pieces (Watermark, Miss Claire Remembers, Portrait (Out Of The Blue)), piano-and-vocal pieces (Shepherd Moons, Morning Glory), multi-instrumental pieces (Tea House Moon, Lothlórien, River) and vocal-and-instrumental pieces (Afer Ventus, The Memory Of Trees, March Of The Celts). There is beauty in such plenty that it can make you cry on this CD - Morning Glory might well be the most beautiful tune ever written - never was a song so aptly named as this one; it actually catches the exact sensation of the sun rising on a clear summer morning. Afer Ventus is so lovely and enchanting, and I cannot imagine anybody not feeling cheered by the wonderful Tea-House Moon.

Disc 3 - Stars - contain a selection of her more hymn-like songs. This was always the CD that I liked the least, but these songs are certainly beautiful. Evening Falls is a favorite, and Marble Halls is quite irresistable in it's charm. Smaointe ... is one of the most heartfelt songs ever written, it moves me to tears every time I listen to it, and is the perfect way to and this collection.'

The thematic separation of the songs is ingeneous, because it in reality gives you three very different CDs, that each matches a different mood. The song arrangement is brilliant, each CD flows naturally from beginning to end in a natural manner.

One could make a comment on the song selection - this set includes nearly - NEARLY - all her songs from her 3 most recent albums (The Memory Of Trees, Shepherd Moon and Watermark). One might wonder why the excluded How Can I Keep From Singing (from Shepherd Moons) and Once You Had Gold (from The Memory Of Trees) - neither song was below standard (in fact Once You Had Gold was a personal favorite from that album) - and there's room for more songs on the CDs. Furthermore, her first album - The Celts - is quite poorly represented, which is even more curious (again, this is in fact my favorite Enya album) - I can accept some exclusions, but some glaring omisions are Epona, the Triad, Bard Dance and To Go Beyond, which are all excelent tracks. Also, I should have prefered the full-length version of On My Way Home to the radio edit included here, and the very rare english version of Storms In Africa would have been a treat for the fans, but that's a detail. A pity, however, that they missed this opportunity to make it perfect.

Still, this box-set is way beyond what's good, this is masterfull. The more recent 4-CD collection 'Only Time' pales when compared to this. Even though it did contaion a couple of excellent songs from her most recent work (A Day Without Rain, Wild Child, The First Of Autumn, Lazy Days and May It Be from The Lord Of The Rings as the only essential pieces) - that set was poorly arranged and much more incomplete. Therefore, stick to this set if you find it at an reasonable price somewhere (try ebay) - 100 $ might be a little over the limit.

Enchanting Blend of Enya's Works.......1999-03-10

This boxed compilation makes a great addition to anyone's music collection who's fond of the new age genre or heard of Enya before. This music is timeless and inspiring. I've been listening to these 3 cd's almost religiously for months now, and I cease to tire of them. From songs like "Aldebaran" who's notes work their way soothingly up and down my spine, to the thundering drums present in songs such as "Storms in Africa", this music will take you away to somewhere you've always dreamed of. Listening to these masterpieces is literally more of an emotional experience for me than anything else, and I'm sure if you take the plunge and buy this compilation, you'll understand why. The three cd's are cased inside an attractive navy-blue box with silver lettering on it, which contains a neat flipbook with interesting poetry, lyrics, and what appear to be almost journal-like entries finely handwritten on the pages inside it. It adds a nice touch to this very classy boxed trio of cd's. Overall, this is a really special item and it'd make for an excellent gift - if you could part with it yourself! The only quibble I have is the price it's selling for most places (I was lucky to find it for $35 over the 'net), and the fact that after playing through all 46 songs, I found that several other works are missing from this compilation such as music from Enya's first album The Celts and other various cd's/singles. As a side note, it does include *most* of the music she's done, with additional singles such as "Only If", "Paint The Sky With Stars", and the very moving "Morning Glory", etc.

ENYA'S DREAMS.......1999-01-24

A must to have! This box winds up all of Enya's work in ten years. Here are songs that will touch the heart and the soul!!! As a big Enya fan, I highly recomend it to those who like Enya. Enya's new songs "Only If...", "Willows on the Water", and "Paint the Sky with Stars" can't be missed. Enya has achieved a great success thanks to her excellent music. It is an incredible blend of magic, irish lore, and devotion (not to mention that she achieves perfect sounds). This boxed set has Enya's memorable "Orinoco Flow", "Watermark", "Book of Days", and so many more that will simply hypnotize any listener. And if you think it is a little expensive, don't worry!!!!!! It is worth the buy!!

Parallel Dreams captures harpist/vocalist Loreena McKennitt at her absolute finest. Fully immersed in the Celtic style, this London, Ontario, performer's voice is lush and layered in warm harmonies, soaring overtop equally beautiful instrumentation. Flowing between traditional ("Annachie Gordon") and original ("Dickens' Dublin") fare, McKennitt slows down time and relaxes furrowed brows on this disc by staying true to her red-headed roots. Subsequent discs tend to experiment more with tangos and uptempo melodies; Parallel Dreams, however, is one long, luscious lullaby. --Denise Sheppard

Fusion music of nuance and mystery!.......2006-10-01

Parallel Dreams.......2004-02-12

This is a truly wondrous album. Loreena McKennitt first swept me away when I heard "The Mummer's Dance" in 1997. Her voice is angelic and amazing, and she is an fabulous musician as well. This album, "Parallel Dreams," seems to be a forgotten treasure. I personally had a very hard time finding it, unlike some others ("The Book of Secrets and "The Mask and Mirror"). It needs more appreciation! Listen to this CD- I guarantee you'll be swept of your feet.

Thanks Loreena..........2003-08-25

While I write these lines I'm listening this album, and sincerely, I believe that it's the better Loreena's album, because mixes the misticism celt with the pop ballad like no other. "Breaking the Silence", a song for Amnesty International, is the best example, a beautiful and frightening song that combines the magic and the enchantment of Loreena with a powerful and moving letter. Really a great song, marvelous. Listen to "Huron Fire Dance" is to be transported to ancient Ireland and the celtic rites. Separate mention deserves to "Standing Stone", "Ancient Pines" and "Dicken's Dublin", my other favorites. All this album is my favorite.

Thanks Loreena for your music.

Enchanting.......2003-07-24

I am an avid Loreena Mckennitt fan, and although I realize that most people enjoy her later albums such as "The Mask and the Mirror" and "The Book of Secrets" the best, I would have to say that this album is my favorite!!! It is truly, truly beautiful. The songs "Standing Stones," "Annachnie Gordon," and "Dicken's Dublin" completely break my heart. this is truly a wonderful work. her voice is clear and there is a wide variety of songs in this album....some that really remind me of her earliest work "Elemental," but also songs that are more like something out of "The Mask and the Mirror."

all in all, this work is enchanting!!!

stands on its own..........2003-03-17

Every Loreena CD stands on its own.

Every single one is gorgeous and all have their own mood and development. This one is simple and pure. Words and voice seem more important while the instruments sort of hang out.
