Title: Nice, updated take on the material
Review: This one is definitely not for medival purists. They have played with the simple lines of the source material, using all sorts of studio effects, although the basic music is presented using vocals and acoustic instruments. This experimental approach works quite well.And what they do with it comes off quite well. Big, boomy reverb, vocal drones, and some excellent drumming add stature to these songs.You get not only relatively well known medival pieces like -Chanterai por mon corage- and -Palastinalied-, two of the better tracks on the record, but also interesting music I was not as familiar with. -Imperator rex grcorum- is another standout track, given a nicely dramatic reading here.
Is the review positive or negative?
