Is anybody else here a fan of Canadian musical goddess Loreena McKennitt? She has created some of the most gorgeous music that I've ever heard. I personally see her as a folky version of Prince. She tries her hand at all sorts of musical styles but still manages to create a trademark sound that is hard to describe, but when listened to, creates some wonderful pictures - if you're a fan, then you'll know what I mean. I particularly enjoy the way that, in her CD booklets, she gives very detailed accounts of where the inspiration for each song comes from.
Her official website (if anyone's interested) is http://www.quinlanroad.com where you can download some samples of her music.
