Reviews Customer Reviews for Qntal V Silver Swan      Utterly brilliant album.      Rating:      Being a fan of medieval, neo-folk, and darkwave music I must say that this is possible the best material I've ever heard that walks through all three genres. At times lush and serene, and times lively with old-world folk music, and at other times darker with epic orchestration. I have found this album to be much closer in feel to the band members' more folk-directed project, Estampie - which was a positive move in my opinion. Less obvious electronica has made for a better listening experience. These artists are obviously musicians and songwriters of the highest caliber - this will be tough for them or anyone else to top.     Customer Reviews for Qntal V Silver Swan Cd      3 AND THREE QUATERS STARS...NOT THREE.      Rating:      First off, I'd like to respond to the first review. Then I'll get to my review. I'm not sure if I am correct, but "Veni Veni" was a song put out by Helium Vola on their newest album. So I'm not sure if that's why Qntal is saying it's a remix or not. They could have remixed Helium Vola's version. Maybe not, though. It just seems sort of likey because the two bands are very closely tied. But maybe not...I'm not sure. I dont have that CD version. Anyway, back to the CD itself: This CD was pretty good. It possibly deserves 4 stars, but in my opinion it's just right on that line. If I gave it 4 stars, it'd probably just be by the skin of it's teeth. So, it's best fitting just to give it 3 and three quaters stars. Most of the songs were very good. They definitely have a relaxing feel with a slight edge of down-tempo. Qntal even turned a poem by Elizabeth I into a song, which actually turned out to be very beatuiful. Most of the songs incorporate a medieval feel, but not so much as to when a person who hates folk musics of any sorts listens and completely hates it. The vocals are also very fitting for the genre of music. They are very mellow and almost sultry at times and really connect with Qntal's general sound. Overall, the CD is pretty good. Nothing that I'm screaming about, but it's very nice if you want to listen to self-theraputic and/or calm and relaxing music of any sort with some folk roots.
