Has a fairy tale-ish feel to it which transports the listener into medieval times or a fairy land, or a fantasy story. The tracks have a nice progression to them presenting the fable sequentially, which was nice for the listener.
Bells, flutes, drums, lutes, light and flighty made "Meadowland" a nicely sweet intro to this album. "Young Knight" was really excellent with a medieval dance in the castle - perhaps to say good-by during a feast. Loved the big drums in that one. "Mission of Evil Omen" had some great bells and electronic vocals - very ominous. Perhaps the wise men were warning them against their mission. "Assemblage in the Castle" was a grande song, with suitable majesty and glory. "Cart Journey of the Princess" seemed rather sad and pensive. "Playing in the garden" is a lightly frolicking piece, with a nice piano, and other instruments. It had that certain glittering lilt that is used in medieval music and with a gentle tempo. And "Lonely Hero" with the simple piano, the solemness of the instruments and the clopping of the horse trotting into the mists - and a dejected hero - but with a tiny ray of hope.
I really love this album. Whenever I wish to write a fairy tale or some other type of fantasy I can listen to this and garner a story from this fabulously designed album. The music on this album was very melodic and it was a huge pleasure to listen to all the tracks. It would be great in a film or game but I know what I'm going to use it for - just great listening - and fantasizing!
