First off, I have to correct Andrew below.  He says there are only four Jen originals on this album.  In fact, there are five - he forgot Lost and Found.  And I must disagree, Jen's originals are my favorites - especially "Gas".  Perhaps I'm just biased, though.  Jen was my music teacher when I was just a girl, and I remember when this album came out and how cool it was that someone I knew had put out a CD!  She played some of the tracks for me before everything was finalized, and I fell in love with it instantly.  And now, I go through periods where I rediscover it amongst older albums and then it's all I listen to for weeks, haha.  It really is one of those albums that sinks its claws into you and never lets go...not like I'm complaining.

Very nice CD, although I have one problem: these are not all original compositions as stated above (they do exclude the great Elevator's cover).  In fact, she only authors 4 originals here (2/5/7/10, which are the weaker tunes- 2 and 10 being the best of these).  Upon hearing the samples, I thought this artist was a genius composer, so it deflated my awe when I found out otherwise... That said, her voice really is extraordinary, the playing is good, and the covers well chosen, so this is still a worthwhile purchase.  Also look for work by her recent group, Carmina Luna, which branches off from this style in a more emotionally developed and melodically focused way.

I love the relaxing medievel sound to this album. This artist has a beautiful voice.

This album is great to listen to anywhere anytime! Very soothing and moving. I highly recomend to any Loreena Mckennitt or Enya fans.
