Format:Audio CD
Tapping into English folk without too much of the fiddle-de-dee, Blackmore's renditions of some great English music with enough rock influence to give it zap, and not forgetting the to-die-for vocals from Candice, this hopefully heralds the arrival of something very new in the UK music scene.
Beautiful lyrics (especially 'Now and Then')and enough haunting melody to conjure images of magical medievalism, this music is definitely food for the soul for tree huggers, 70's throwbacks, pagans and those looking for a new England.

I'd lost touch with Ritchie Blackmore's musical exploits for a few years. When I happened upon this whilst surfing the web I thought "why not" and bought it. It's brilliant! The medieval moods set by the early Rainbow are all there but stronger than ever. Candice's voice is simply beautiful. Great songs,(particularly the title track and "Now & then")and great musicians - if you've ever been into Mr Blackmore's music buy this and rediscover the magic!

This is a more restrained Blackmore, gone is the posturing, the enfant terrible. Here we have, often, the complementing of haunting medieval moods, wind, bells, the acoustic guitar. To all those parents who listened second hand to Ritchie's electric furies via the living room floor, absorb this eclectic beauty. If the electric guitar at the end of 'Gone with the Wind' does not make your spine tingle then you very well may be dead.

While Ritchie wrote some good tunes here and some of them have been terrific as part of the live set over the years (See the Castles and Dreams DVD) this album is strangely flat... Read more

Enya with attitude
I bought this cd on the strength of the Blackmore's Night cd Secret Voyage. The songs on this cd are very easy going and pretty but with what seems like only one flavour. Read more

Solid Follow-Up
After a superb debut, it is natural to expect a bit of a decline in the follow-up album, and to my ear there is a bit of one, but not a huge decline. Read more

OK, I'll argue with that ..
Actually I find this one of the band's most enjoyable albums, with nary a dud track (i.e. one I don't like) on it. Read more

Arguably the band's weakest album
