There's 13 songs, half of which are absolutely stunning, haunting, mystifying, the rest are pretty good with only 1 so-so. Similar to Loreena (later stuff)in richness and depth of music, and does on a few songs sound like Kate Bush. Put this and Kate Price's Isle of Dreaming in your cd player, and settle in for a great 2 hours. For people who like: Loreena McKennitt, Secret Garden, Kate Price, Capercaillie, Amethystium and perhaps even Kate Bush fans. :o)

I accidentally discovered Aeone on MP3.comback in 1999. Ever since then, her music has haunted me, spoken to me, reached into me and brought out the Celtic heritage I never knew I had. Her music is powerful, sensitive, stirring... her music is truly a work of art. I'm ecstatic that Umbra Nihili is finally on a CD... that song sends a shiver down my spine every time i hear it... for any artist to be able to harness that kind of power in a song is a miracle just waiting to be heard. The rest of the album follows suit, bringing forth an almost supernatural presence withits beauty. I can't stress enough how much I love Aeone... one listen,and I'm sure you'll agree.

I've been a fan of Aeone since I bought the soundtrack of 'The Mists of Avalon'. She has a hauntingly peaceful, yet strong feminine voice which is wonderful and relaxing to listen to.
Her songs are deep and meaningful that reaches inside your heart and translates its beats and rhythms into music and lyrics.
Anyone who loves to listen to celtic music should buy this album. Definitely recommended!

The Song "Point Of Faith" Is worth the price alone for me. She sings about forgiving.... She sings " Let me walk in Fields of my own goodness..Let me lie no more with my regret, I believe in all the choices I have made, From a point of love within my heart I forgive myself for all the mistakes" , " From a point of grace within my soul, I release myself for all the blame" Each Song Is written fully so you can enjoy the meaning anytime you want. This Woman has a Spiritual way about her that makes you feel good about yourself.

I was given Aeone's last album, liked it so got this one too. The music on Point of Faith is far more complex - very beautiful. If you feel like visiting a deep and amazing place, this collection of ethereal songs took me there. It was an emotionally uplifting trip.

I wouldn't term Aeone's vocal work as complex. Perhaps I would typify it as more arcane or limited to the narrow genre (Celtic) within which she has presented herself as being a part of. Even then, I wouldn't say she has the range and complexity of a more worldly performer such as Loreena McKennit but she definitely brings the vocal tinges of Kate Bush back into the present. Even for fans of Kate Bush, who is and was a phenomenal performance artist as well as vocalist, I wouldn't typify Aeone as a brilliant or an enrapturing artist who sweeps listeners up into her musical impressionism. But more of the lilting high-ranging soprano with an easy falsetto that strikes one as very ancient yet very modern in her vocal capability. I must admit I wasn't overwhelmed as I've been with some of the modern performers like Loreena McKennit, Enya, Aoife Ni Fhearraigh, or the Celtic Women, but she's not displeasing either. For real afficianado's I'd recommend more traditional Gaelic music such as Celtic Spirit or the new (2006) release of Pure Nightnoise. Lot's of older music but a good sampling of the genre.

I really loved this cd. I am always a little afraid of buying a cd I can not hear sample music. I have had a few that were terrible. HOWEVER, this one was great I felt like my imagination was flying off to some place. Some songs I wanted to get up and dance, others I wanted just to relax to. This is by no means a roller coaster ride cd. This does not song like Lorenna. Not sure who thought they sounded a like.

I love this CD and listen to it at least once a day.

If you want to relax and unwind this is a great cd for that.It reminds me of Tia Knight who is also
magical.
