Overview:
Praised by both critics and the public alike, Qntal has masterfully blended medieval melodies, languages, and instruments with elements of modern electronic music. Lush instrumentation, gorgeous female vocals in the "heavenly voices" style, and an otherworldly atmosphere. Qntal have earned a reputation for their high standard of excellence in recorded music, artwork, and live performances. Highly recommended, especially to fans of Dead Can Dance, Loreena McKennitt, Vas and Irfan.

Details:
The title for the fifth QNTAL album comes from a madrigal by the British composer, Orlando Gibbons (1583 - 1625).QNTAL in 2006 are exploring new shores with the Silver Swan. Its no coincidence that the cover artwork was created by Brian Froud, designer of fairytale-like fantasy classics such as Lady Cottington"s Pressed Faery Book or creatures from the films Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal. The art is reminiscent of a magically charged mirror that opens into a dreamy parallel universe. This time, between the harmonically flowing Elbensong and the playfully dancing Levis, Syrah, Michael Popp and Philipp Groth allow their listeners enjoyable time away from every-day life. Silver Swan brings to mind artists such as DEAD CAN DANCE, ENYA or LOREENA McKENNIT in its almost meditative moments, while always remaining a QNTAL creation which should earn the band even more enthusiastic fans.Historic instruments, oriental-sounding percussions and carefully arranged electronic elements consistently continue the concept of creating a new kind of Old Music. Consistently different, yet with that same gift of stirringthose ancient emotions and fantasies that have always moved mankind.Track Listing:01 Monsieur`s Departure sample02 Amis Raynaut sample03 Levis sample04 Von den Elben sample05 Lingua Mendax sample06 Falling Star sample07 The Whyle sample08 Winter sample09 Altas Undaz sample10 292 sample11.
