I came across a recommendation for this Woodland CD while exploring the Brian and Wendy Froud website and decided I should check it out. It arrived in the mail today and I have to say that it is absolutely enchanting! The CD artwork is by Brian Froud and it includes all of the song lyrics which include a W.B. Yeats poem (Into the Twilight). This could be considered a soundtrack for the Froud's artwork or a soundtrack for Faerie itself. The lyrics are filled with faerie mythology and folklore and the longings of nature. It put me in the same peaceful mood I get while listening to Enya. I recommend it to those who are enchanted by faerie, those who are fans of Brian and Wendy Froud, those who enjoy the Celtic poetry of Yeats, and fans of music like Enya and Loreena McKennitt.

The album is uplifting to the spirit and deeply felt in the soul.The depth of emotion behind the music, catching melodies, and brilliant prose make it the cd that I choose when I want to tune in to the pulse of the ancients. I highly recomend this album as a relaxing, interesting, and inspiring work.

At the FAERIEWOLRDS Festival in Sedona last May 2003, I looked up at the stage to see a delight for the senses! Gauzy fabric, twinkling, undelating colored lighting, larger than life Pan-type beings swaying. Then, Woodland came on the stage. When their music began, I knew I was a witness to something very, very special. Majikal. They were wonderful! Beautiful melodies, haunting drum rhythms backing lovely vocals with mystical lyrics. I bought this CD that evening and have listened to it regularly. My daughter has one as well and listens to it constantly. My 7 year old grandson trys to play his little guitar to the music. I'll never forget when I went into his room and he was sitting on his bed strumming his guitar with his face up to the ceiling, eyes closed, singing "I Remember". This past June while camping, my husband put it on our portable CD player in the middle of the forest in the mountains of AZ. We lay back on the blanket and let the music take us to the Enchanted Realms under a full moon. We love this CD/rom. Sorry to see that at this time it is not available, because it is so very special....

I was given this CD by a friend and have enjoyed listening to it while I work on the PC, it has a soothing beat that is habit forming. I highly recommend it.

I love this type of music to begin with. I bought the first Froud companion cd a few years ago, and when I stumbled across this... I had to have it.

And let me tell you, this is better than the first one. I was entranced by it for over 4 hours today, and I am absolutely in love with "In the Twilight". The lyrics are amazing, and the singing divine. A must have for all music lovers, everywhere.
