Does anyone else listen to them or has heard of them? They're a music project from France. Their is described as New Age but it does sometimes mix classical music, opera and Gregorian chants. A lot of the lyrics are often based around chants in an imaginary language that's close to Latin.

I absolutely love their music! <3 The imaginative lyrics are beautiful and very moving.

They're starting to become a favorite to me. :lol: Then again I cannot really pick favorites for music since I listen to so much. :P Which of 'some' of their songs do you like?

I've got one of thier first albums, I think it's simply called Era. I lsed to like them moderately! Now I never listen to them.. perhaps I should start again! :-)I liked their hits; Era and Ameno but I think most of the songs were beautiful.
I am disappointed that they don't sing in Latin or another existing language, I like when the lyrics has a meaning. :-)

Wow... Era! Talk about a blast from the past. They used to be really popular back in 1998/1999 I remember. They had some really nice relaxing songs. I love New Age music in general :)

I was too at first but I just let it go. One good thing about it is that the lyrics are pretty easy to learn. :-D

Heh, I found out some time ago they actually have been around for several years but I only first heard their music some time in mid or late 06 when I watched a LotR music video on YouTube and one of their songs was used in it.

I wonder if any of their albums are sold here in the States. I know we sell a lot of music from other countries but I think I should check on it cause their is still a lot that we don't sell as of yet that I want to get my hands on.

True.. the lyrics are easy and the music is nice and relaxing so all forgiven. I wonder if I still have some of their songs on my computer.
How many albums did they make? Just the two, Era and Era II? And what songs are your favorites?
