[sadness] music from the other side



Reading people's comments on these youtubes, ranging from "relaxing" to "mysterious" - in order to understand the music and the use of their version of the Gregorian chant, one needs to know that Era stemmed from Enigma [one track which will be posted in a few days] and Sadeness Pt 1 makes it clear it's about despair, desolation, lost souls, people turning their backs on the Voice [a motif running through their music], walking about alone inside and condemned to fill the void with sex and whatever else comes to hand.

That comes out more clearly in Sadeness than in this track, which is quite nice in its own way and shows that there can be a stark beauty to melancholy.

Music from the other side.
