    Whatever god you present, won't sing as good as Loreena. All your god can do is yell.

    Do you have the one labeled 'To drive the cold winter away'? It has one of my personal favorites, The Seasons. Ever here it? I like the earlier albums because they were not overproduced with 50 stage hand musicians. I like her and her instrument maybe a fiddle or so, that's all she needs! But money talks and so large stage productions is the way she went. It's still better than anything from the likes of Madonna or the like!

    As I believe that the God I worship is the same Who gave all gifts--- including Loreena's gift of song--- I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest His voice is better.

    As good as we can be, we are images of.

    I have to say that she finally (successfully) broke into the American market with The Book of Secrets in 1997. I went back and got The Mask and Mirror and then picked up the new ones as they came out. Haven't heard as much of the older stuff. You do have a point with the production of the newer stuff, but I don't think it's "over-produced". I did like shows like "Unplugged" so you can just hear the artistry without all the fluff, but even her newer albums are good listens. Anything that puts her music in front of the masses, yes? I find it interesting that TV and filmmakers are aware of her by how much of her music has been used in soundtracks.

    She and Enya both started with the overproduction thing, Enya probably taught it to her🙂 And yes, at least the overproduction is bearable but I still love the singer alone.
