What a year, dear colleagues. We will get The Visit in binaural, 5.1 and Atmos.
Full info here:
https://www.loreenarevisited.com/I wasn't definitely expecting this, I'm amazed.

Wow - thank you for posting!
I worked her records at Warner Bros Records as a Promotion and Marketing Mgr. She is a fabulous musician and lovely person.
Even have a double Gold album plaque for this and “The Mask and The Mirror” - which had the surprise hit “The Mummers Dance”
I never would have expected this to be released in surround - but it should be fabulous if done right.
Can’t wait!!!

 

[Tres Discrete]

I'll be damned. Never heard of her....

I’m always leery of saying an artist “sounds like” another artist…but if you think of her as somewhere in between Enya and Dead Can Dance, I think you would be generally in the right territory… 🗺

 

[The Rang]

Wow, this is a surprise.
Been a big fan of her's from way back.
She has such a great voice... I have everything she's ever done.
I'm in, I just pre-ordered.
Looks like price is in US dollars ($59.31 w/shipping), thought it might be in Canadian$....

the pre order price from universal music.ca is $59.98 Cdn

I paid £35 + £2.90 P&P, so £37.90 (around US$53) in total ordering via the link on her home page to The Merch Desk in the UK, so quadruple that is less than you guys, that must be a first!!

Does that also come with a signed 5x7" postcard, Dunc, which you can frame and place among your treasured Momentos?

In general, this style of music is just not for me. Which....is probably why I've never heard of her. Never heard of Dead Can't Dance, either.

Happy for all you fans!! Seems a bit pricey though....

A few years ago, Gene, MoFi released all 9 Dead Can Dance titles as a 9 Stereo SACD boxset or individually....which I bought for about $15 each. IMO, they're all superb:

Now if only they were in surround... calling Mr Steven Wilson.... you reading?
@GOS , Loreena is like pop music compared with prog, assuming DCD are prog. DCD are not an easy listening, but very rewarding if you can get used to their very particular style. Try Serpent's Egg first or Anastasis, I would recommend

You may know this already but...... both "The Mummers Dance" and "The Bonny Swans" are available in a 5.1 bonus dvd .

And BTW she is a local girl , originally from Morden , Manitoba .....a big town just South of where I live.

But Now she lives somewhere in Southern Ontario.

Oy…this may really be over-simplifying…but…perhaps I’d put Dead Can Dance somewhere between New Age Music and Renaissance Music (not the band - the historical era.)
Others can chime in!

OK - I did over-simplify:
Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described Dead Can Dance's style as "constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty; Africanpolyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chant, Middle Eastern music, mantras, and art rock."[2]

I agree it is pricey, just like the new Al Stewart 'Time Passages'
... I'm in for this but a better price & some more disc/package options would be much preferred!
