2.0 out of 5 stars Buy the original, October 18, 2004

Amazon lists the Lesiem CD "Times" with this one as a special. Don't be fooled to think these are different CDs!! they are the same, though this one has English titles. Plus, the Import version contains vocals on a few songs by the fabulous Maggie Reilly (former vocalist with Mike Oldfield) and an excellent artist in her own right. Check out her solo works (her greatest hits is a nice place to start if unfamiliar with her) and buy Lesiem's "Times" instead!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Matter of Taste, August 23, 2007

I am hesitant to write a review about music because it is the most personal kind of taste of all. Most of us hold the secret belief that if people listen to our music long enough, they will see how good our taste in it is.

I heard this in one of those "artsy" crafts and dish stores, where they sold a lot of wood and ceramic products, in Cape Cod. They were playing it over their P.A. to get customers to buy it, and they succeeded.

The woman behind the counter told me that it was a modern-day "Gergorian Chant." But having been raised Catholic and taught to sing this and the "Tantum Ergo" in Latin, I was skeptical.

"Gregorian Chant," it isn't. It does sound like a cross between that group that played background music in Tom Clancy's "Patriot Games," and a new age done by that Dutch fiddler who overproduces his performances in European squares at night. (Okay, so I'm not so good with names!)

This won't beat classical, but it does beat new age. I enjoyed the harmonies. That's my preference. Read the other reviews and then decide.

It's strictly a matter of taste.

Dona nobis pacem!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystical & Magical, September 21, 2004

This is the third cd from the amazing group Lesiem. The music on this cd is simply amazing and takes me on a journey from beginning to end without losing my interest. From the first track Humilitas that is majestic and moving to the powerful choir based song Caritas, this cd is so consistent and thematic it is such a gift. The production and song writing is more mature than their previous two records and it shows a growth in several directions for the group. More female singers involved on more tracks and full on string arrangements make this music mystical and magical. Hopefully, this group will receive the recognition they deserve. For anyone that loves the sounds of Enigma, Era and groups in this genre, Lesiem's (Auracle) is right up there all the way around.
