Album Description

Music as an awakening - Aeone is multi level-listening. Clear ethereal vocals rise above full ambient grooves. Contrasting dulcimer and Uillean pipes and other woody instruments lie in lush and cinematic tracks with a touch of the ancient Celtic. Hypnotic and sensual - the unfolding of the nature of a woman in all her many guises - Aeone takes you through the journey of her life in a tapestry of story, voice, sound and rhythm, from which you may not return the same - or then again ......

Customer Reviews:

Disappointed..........2006-05-09

I bought Aeone's first cd Point of Faith and absolutely loved it so naturally I ran out and bought this one as well. Unfortunately, the music styles on this disc are so radically different I just can't feel the same connection. If you want to try it out, I suggest borrowing it from someone first. My advice, if you loved the musical style of Point of Faith, leave this one on the rack.

This CD is very nice........2005-10-07

I like this CD but I love Point of Faith.

Not bad.......2004-07-01

I came across Aeone because I'm a huge Loreena McKennitt fan and Aeone was listed as a similar artist. For the most part I don't think there is much of a comparison between Aeone and Loreena, their vocals and music styling are quite different, with Loreena coming across as the much better singer. That's not to say that Aeone isn't a good artist, she's just different then what I expected. In my humble opinion, if I were to describe her music to someone, I would say that it's a mix of Loreena inspired vocals along with Enigma type music (heavy basslines and almost sensual beats). In theory if you liked Enigma and Loreena it would be great, but the end result still feels lacking something to me.

My favorite track is 3, Body In Mind because it has a heavy almost lusty sound and the lyrics are great. My least favorite (heck I can't stand it) is track 12, Voice of America, mostly because of the guy almost rapping in it. That is why the CD falls flat in some spots, you feel a little uncomfortable because it seems like the artist is simply doing something because it is different, not because it makes sense.

So, if given a choice between this and another CD, I would try the other one first. But if you have money to blow and like trying out different things, then this CD is for you.

I felt like an outsider..........2004-03-09

Let me say that I really loved her first album - great vocals, fantastic rhythms, very seductive. So I expected much the same from this one - a more polished intricate album, even better rhythmic interplay, I can't fault the vocals, she has a fine instrument, but after a while I noticed a continuing theme in the songs core subject material; things began to be less balanced, more feminine uber-allus, seemingly to the exclusion of all else. I felt strangely shut out - an odd sensation to have from a CD.

Familiar but oh-so different!.......2003-03-10

I came across Aeone (pronounced Ay-Own) while doing a musical search-and-listen (a favorite hobby) here at amazon.com. A bona fide Loreena-lover, why hadn't I heard of this artist before? Apparently she's been rather busy writing scores for movies (obvious evidence of her protean talent) and has only intermittently taken precious time out to create musical magic on her own behalf.

I went to her website ... and gave an ear to downloaded samples from The Woman's Touch. I was bowled over. Wow! From the eponymous first song, evoking a less quirky Kate Bush but with fuller production, to the anthemic Voice of America replete with hints of hip-hop, this CD is the poster child for eclecticism. Though a journey up and down diffuse acoustic pathways it has a soulful cohesion via Aeone's vocal stylings and subtle thematic elements. Enya-esque in her use of melodic multi-layering and Loreena-like with celtic-sensible, soaring invocations, Aeone sings from a spiritual place but on her very own merits. Her voice doesn't stand alone like Loreena's, pushing and kneading, but instead sits so very comfortably, sensually, amid the shimmering lushness of dulcimers and uilleann pipes and instruments more contemporary. Even a hard rock riff here and there complements instead of detracts.

I guess that's the essence of The Woman's Touch, at once ancient and modern. Aeone's music spans eras yet its spirit is a most intimate one for the receptive listener. That's the gist of it for me, that I could hear it filling a cathedral or listen in bed with headphones in the dark and be equally moved. The connection made is ultimately personal -- which is surely the true objective of any sincere musician. Highly recommended to musicophiles with good taste.

Oh, and thanks be to amazon.com for the oh-so useful cross-referencing feature of its music reviews format by which I found Aeone.

Early Chicago Muddy Compilation.......2001-04-22

"Streamlined Blues" is a collection of songs from Muddy's first days in Chicago. Of the 20 tracks about five all are variations of the same signature Muddy Waters tune, most famously heard on "Feel Like Goin' Home". Some of the variations on the theme work, and some are a little annoying, and all are "streamlined" in that there might only be a little bass or drums thrown in the mix with Muddy's bottleneck. The second half of the album is a more diverse with "Rollin' and Tumblin' parts One and Two" which are usually credited to the Baby Face Leroy Trio, but are still from the same early Chicago era. As a big Muddy Waters fan I'm willing to take an album like this that has some rare stuff (and decent sound quality) even if a few of the songs are so-so. If you're new to Muddy get one of the Chess compilations, "Folk Singer", "The Unk in Funk" (if you can find it), and "Hard Again" to get a good cross section of his career.
