The Nine Worlds
Achillea
(a.k.a. Jens Gad & Helene Horlyck )
Sequoia Records
2005
There isn't a lot of diversity in the numerous tracks on this album. Similar style, rhythms, and ambient melodies, all quite reminiscent of Enigma but, in this case, based on Viking mythology. Jens Gad (who, incidentally, was a co-producer of, and guitarist with, Enigma) and Helene Horlyck have nevertheless created a unique musical work using ethereal vocals in Latin and Swedish, trance-like beats, and often cinematic washes of sound.
