3.0 out of 5 stars Too much jazz, not enough substance., December 25, 2002

Yikes! What happened to the Mythos I heard on the self-titled album and "Reality of a Dreamer"? Now it seems that Bob D'Eith (piano) and Paul Schmidt (guitar) have shifted in a smooth jazz direction, much to my annoyance. The only track on "Eternity" I liked was "Unity", the rest I quickly dismissed after a few minutes into the abyss of forgetfulness. Let's hope that Mythos goes back to the dark vibes of their earlier works, and not try to sound like 3rd Force again.

4.0 out of 5 stars PARADISE, November 5, 2002

Is it possible to find heaven on earth? Maybe not but this album definitely takes me to a place that's much dreamier than normal life existence. The opening song "Ascent" is gorgeous beyond reason with a lush, aural soundscape. And albeit there are no tracks here as rememberable or as breathtaking as "November" or "Planinata", "Unity" and "Paradise" come awfully close. I also really enjoy the more somberness of "Turn To Grey" (vocals: Tanya Hancheroff) and "Dreams Of Jade" (vocals: Jennifer Scott), which both feature actual lyrics instead of just ethereal voices wandering with the wordless melodies. I admit to liking their self-titled album more than ETERNITY but this has more diversity, I think. It's only flaw is its lack of staying power. After about 4 or 5 songs I'm ready to move on to something else... Bob D'Eith and Paul Schmidt are still fusing their initial guitar and piano in with the beautiful electronic/new age rhythms that are present on their last two albums, but on ETERNITY the sound, as mentioned before, is much more eclectic. In songs like "Del Mar" they use instruments such as the saxaphone and the trumpet to incorprate a more jazzy atmosphere. On tunes like "Exodus", however, they use the spanish guitar with ethnic sounds ranging from Brazil to the Middle East, which, to me, is the perfect concoction for an exceptional album.

MYTHOS is better (don't yet have REALITY OF A DREAMER) but I still recommend ETERNITY to long-time or first-time Mythos fans. I do recommend starting off with MYTHOS first though.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mythos: Continuation of inconsistancy, July 9, 2005

As a long time fan of Era, Delerium, Enya, Lesiem and Magna Canta, I saw Mythos as my next step in the new age genre. As I have reviewed other Mythos' albums here on Amazon.com I am again struck with the feeling that the duo artists behind Mythos the entity have again augmented inconsistancy. This album release has some of the older songs from previously released albums mixed with new song samples. In this album, Bob D'Eith and Paul Schmidt include ethnic instruments and sounds into the songs, trying to coalesce a sleeping giant awake. Personally this album is another disappointment with every song being inconsistant. It seemed to me that they were searching for a sound that could make Mythos distinctive and unique.
Just like their counterparts Lesiem and Enya who have found their niche in the new age music scene, Mythos is a wandering giant still looking for a home in the land of new age music.
