Can't get enough of it!.......2006-04-10

Can't get enough of this cd Aquaria. I love it and have sometimes kept playing it all day long repeatedly. I love New Age Jazz, and this cd indeed takes me to another realm of listening pleasure in New Age melodies.

New Age Meets Trance.......2006-03-06

I bought this recording after hearing a few tracks while browsing in a Nature's Gifts store. The proprietor kept a small collection of recordings way in the back of the store. They were mostly off-mainstream works that would appeal to eclectics. So, naturally, he caught me.

As this recording ages in my library, I find myself revisiting it regularly. The regular rhythm track over-washed with vocals and synths is soothing. I often listen to Aquaria before I drift off to sleep. The rhythms and synths help calm my thoughts. I also like Aquaria as background when I'm doing something that does not require quiet.

I'm not a hard-core trance listener and I suspect that Aquaria is much toned down from the intensity sought by trance-dancers. I would place this recording in the New Age genre. So, be forewarned--this is not trance music.

The cynic in me wants to demean the "This is the voice of Aquaria, this is the voice of the sea" mantra. Had these words been spoken in another language they would blend into the music and add to the overall effect. The vocals might bother some listeners (as the one reviewer mentioned that the vocals sound "silly"); they don't bother me. But again be forewarned that the vocals might not work for you.

The production quality is first rate. I listen carefully and I can't hear any mistakes in the recording or engineering.

Aquaria works for me. The work is substantially different from most of what I listen to and is a wonderful respite from more mainstream works. I like Arkenstone's musical ideas, the expression thereof, and the vocals don't bother me. Aquaria is gentle trance music.

Surprised that I enjoyed it.......2005-10-14

As a general rule, I don't care for trance music, but when I saw it in the library I thought "Hey, it's Arkenstone so I'll give it a chance." I found it to be a nice ambient music without going too far with the trance rhythms.

Absolutely beautiful.......2004-07-29

I picked up a used copy of this CD on a whim last fall sometime, before I was familiar with either Arkenstone. I thought I'd heard of the name, and the title sounded nice, so I bought it. Since then I've barely been able to take this out of my stereo! It's some of the most soothing, relaxing music I've ever heard - I put it on softly sometimes when I'm having trouble sleeping. I'm very much looking forward to purchasing some of her other CD's, and very highly recommend this one!

Excellent piece of epic symphonic power metal........2006-01-10

Luxaeterna is a "rock opera" concept album based on the creation of the world, in their own idea. Telling of God's and Goddesses creating the world and then of Gaia creating mankind and so on and so forth. Each song is dedicated to a different aspect of the genesis, and though the lyrics at certain points can seem a tad trite, the lyricist did not do a bad job with it overall.

Musically, this album is off the charts. Production is impeccable and the musicianship at points is beyond description. Very classically influenced, drawing specifically from Mozart and other composers of the classical era, yet they keep their music fresh enough (notice some native influence in songs like "Here comes the light" as well as other latin beats and ideas incorporated throughout the effort) to keep you entertained and heavy enough to keep your head banging. The drums are solid and keep things upbeat and the guitarwork is clever without straying too much from the genre. My only qualm is with the vocals, and though they are definitely good, the vocalists voice can get a little grading after a couple songs, but the voice is still excellent with fantastic range.

Overall, if you like symphonic power metal with some progressive elements and bands like Angra, Rhapsody, Symphony X and the like then you will like this album.
