Excellent, February 28, 2003
This review is from: Lanterna (Candescence) (Audio CD)
I heard a snippet of Lanterna's "Elm Street" on NPR and pursued this CD as a result of what I've heard. Now that I've received it and listened, I know I'll be getting their other two releases. Like other reviewers, I find it hard to put a name to what exactly to call this music. It's ambient, yes, but with a bit of an edge to it. I'm not particularly literate in the lexicon of music, and really, I'd rather talk about how the music makes me feel. Of course this is highly subjective, but I feel both relaxed and focused by this music. It's like a good long supper with wine and candlelight and good food with an intelligent person you're really interested in - there are different moods and rhythms and topics, but overall the feeling is one of being at ease and also very *engaged*. I find it more than a little sexy. I reccommend this CD highly and hope you'll find it enjoyable, as I do.

An amazing album with multi-faceted appeal, April 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Lanterna (Candescence) (Audio CD)
This work really transcends whatever label one wishes to put on it. Equally at home in collections of New Age, goth, or ambient music, Lanterna is a simply beautiful collection of songs suitable for candle-lit latenights, rainy Saturdays, dinnertime, bathtime, or bedtime. The album's strong point is its continuity and cohesiveness: the songs meld together like an epic poem. The downside of this, of course, is that the songs individual character may easily escape; but over time, careful listeners are sure to find a very personal favorite.

Perfect Driving Music for the lonely road, June 7, 2003
This review is from: Lanterna (Candescence) (Audio CD)
Lanterna is must for any CD collection. The first track "Silent Hills" is as haunting as it is beutiful. Like his other CDs (all of which are really good)the music expands and goes in many directions that are unexpected and rewarding.
