The best release yet by Magna Canta!
Petar Vodogaz | Sydney, NSW Australia | 06/15/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the latest offering from Magna Canta and all I can say is a big YES! The album 'Sanctuary' is the best yet from this new age medieval chant group. In this album they have increased their range with a more international feel with Russian chants in the song titled 'Russia' and lovely female Japanese chants in the simple song title 'Japan'.

But in this album release, Magna Canta in the tracks of 'Kyrie', 'Sanctum Christi' and 'Credo' went into a mini dance sound...mild techno rhythms that matched the gregorian latin chants. This is the best from Magna Canta to date and in my personal opinion it has leaped over Lesiem in originality and execution of all the blends of styles and beats. The song 'Lux Lucies' is a prime example, dance beats with harmonious gregorian chants.

This is now a favourite CD of mine and is in my top 20 CD list of most listened. Beautiful, wonderful and mind blowing. What else can I say!"

"A wonderful follow up album by Magna Canta. These guys are here to stay. All tracks are very nicely done, but there are some tracks that are outstanding:



1. Russia: This track has a terrific start. The first few seconds of this track can justify the purchase of the entire album. Terrific electronic cadence music with masterful gregorian chants. The arrangement is very well layered and textured. Wonderful.



2. Kyrie: This track seems like a perfect mix of 2 tracks that are masterfully merged into one another. You get hooked to one and the other one emerges quickly from behind and captures your attention.



3. Pater Noster: This is a very peaceful track. Almost like a beautiful selfless prayer with very uplifting electronic music. The chants will stir your soul and in an emotional moment draw a tear as well. I really liked the way the track just fades away.



4. The best track on the CD. The music slowly appears from the yonder. The mind conjures rhythmic floating images that swirl all around you and the chants feel like tufts of fresh air on your face.



6. Japan: Haunting start to the track. Very creative mix of Gregorian and Japanese chants.



7. Lux Lucies: Keeps getting better. A very well layered track that will take you on a tranquail sonic journey. Awesome.



8. In Excelsiss Deo: Stunning: Distant percussions that will give you goose bumps. This track blurs the track between electronic, Gregorian and techno music. Irresistible dance music.
