The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

Majestic hymns sung with British accents. A great combination! I haven't noticed any objectionable sounds on my copy.

hymns we sang in church.......2003-02-16

i grew up in a traditional presbyterian church that had a pipe organ. i wanted a cd of many of the hymns that we sang in church sung by a choir and accompanied by a pipe organ. this cd fulfilled my wishes perfectly. the hymns are performed in a very straight-forward fashion with no show-boating or excess flourishes which is exactly what i wanted. this is not gospel music but what i refer to as liturgical music to indicate that it is religious music but not gospel music. i would give it 5 stars but there is a slight hiss. other than that the recording quality is very good.

Spare, unearthly recreations of medieval tunes and lyrics.......2006-10-01

The Mediaeval Baebes, a group of twelve female vocalists led by Katherine Blake, croon and sigh their way through a variety of Latin, Middle English and medieval French songs in a manner all their own. Usually in unison, and often unaccompanied, the straightforward sound of their voices is simple yet striking. All of the music of "Salva Nos" has a fairy tale quality about it, whether that be in the form of innocent lilts graced by dulcimer and recorders, or primal chants belted out heartily to the deep beat of hand drums. Another world, another time, another aesthetic--this is music that calms and transports you. It may not be entirely authentic in its presentation, but its spirit shines through. "Salva Nos" is by far the most laid back of the Mediaeval Baebes' releases--they keep getting livelier after this one, with more drums, more attitude, and eventually some electronica. But this is where it all started. The Baebes' roster for this recording is: Nicole Frobusch, Carmen Schneider, Katharine Blake, Nichole Sleet, Karen Lupton, Teresa Casella, Marie Findley, Audrey Evans, Clare Ravel, Ruth Galloway, Rachel Van Asch and Cylindra Sapphire, with instrumentalist Dorothy Carter on hurdy gurdy and dulcimer. The next of the Mediaeval Baebes' albums is "Worldes Bliss." Try also the work of the German neo-Medieval group Estampie and the duo Dead Can Dance. And if you'd like to hear early English music performed by authentic period ensembles, here are some suggestions: "Miri It Is" by The Dufay Collective, "English Songs of the Middle Ages" by Sequentia, "An English Ladymass," "On Yoolis Night," "Legends of Nicholas," and "Wolcum Yule" by Anonymous 4, and "A Waverly Consort Christmas."

Stop bad-mouthing the Baebes!!!!.......2001-03-05

While I do agree that Mediaeval Baebes' Salva Nos is not myfavorite of their trio of Album I still have to say that it is a .. good CD and well worth the price! These girls have guts that not very many other artists I know have. They are not afraid to try new things as anyone with ears can hear if they listen to all three albums. They are, simply put, talented.

An acquired taste.......2000-06-28

I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this as their first Mediaeval Baebes CD. It's nowhere near as accessible as, say, Undrentide. The majority of tracks are religious (Christian, that is) in content, from Christmas carols ("Coventry Carol" or an ethereal version of "Veni, Veni" - better known as "Oh come, oh come, Immanuel") to funeral dirges ("This Ay Nicht", also known as the "Lyke Wake Dirge") and frankly the album doesn't display the range or sheer pagan fun of their later offerings. I wouldn't describe "Salva Nos" as "risible" but certainly would suggest listening to some of the Baebes' later recordings rather than Salva Nos before making a decision on whether to buy any more of their material. Some of the tracks on this album are definitely an acquired taste. Once you've acquired the taste, you'll want to hear them again, though!

0 Stars really , but they wouldn't let me. Save your money........2000-04-13

The Mediaeval Babes is the confection of some bright spark who thought that the girlie-group formula could be joined with the music of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries to... well, to make a lot of money. I suspect that they failed: they certainly deserved to.

The Babes themselves are a washed-out bunch of hopeless wanabees. Some can sing a little, none does anything well. Their music is a crude blend, tasteless, talentless pastiches of mediaeval standards alternating with phoney pretend stuff.

A Beautiful Collection of Russian Liturgical Music.......2004-04-20

Russian liturgical music from the monasteries is a combination of a number of different styles. Since the Church id from the orthodox tradition, the music is influenced partly by Greek liturgical music. It also has a bit of a western Gregorian flow to it, though this is not as strong as other influences. It also has a bit of Russian folk music flair to it. Musically it is interesting, but it also has a spiritual quality to it. Perhaps because it has survived against tremendous odds during the Soviet years, it has strength to it as well.

This recording by the Novospassky Monastery Choir contains liturgical music primarily for Easter but contains other prayers and psalms as well. The CD has liner notes but no translation for the music, but for the price, this is not a complaint. The choir is strong and is able to convey both the majesty and beauty of the music.

"Yeaux! Check out the Bæbes!" Rock/pop buyers seeing this disc will probably be amused or intrigued; early music aficionados will likely assume the worst (Spice-Girls-do-Hildegard-with-a-backbeat). Neither need fear: the Mediæval Bæbes may cultivate an irreverent image, but they take their music seriously. Here they give us a selection of well-known (relatively speaking) medieval tunes--including some Christmas songs almost everyone will recognize--plus a few original melodies set to medieval lyrics. They've done a bit of arranging and added a period instrument here and there, but nothing more drastic than Munrow or Savall ever did. The Bæbes' voices aren't as polished as those of Sequentia or Anonymous 4, but their singing, plenty ethereal, has energy that A4 sometimes lacks. Specialists won't hate this record, but there's nothing to intimidate listeners unfamiliar with medieval music. It's really a crossover disc from both directions. --Matthew Westphal

I first heard the Baebes at a renaissance festival about 4 years ago and they were incredible. Their voices are beautiful and many of the songs are haunting. I just bought this album, i received it today, and it's beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in something different. And if you ever get a chance to see the Baebes live, don't think twice, they're great!

Having been introduced to the Mediaeval Baebes through their singing of Aria by Delerium, I found them to be refreshing to listen to. I will be purchasing their other albums as soon as possible.

Fun music.......2001-11-21

I really like the Baebes. I first saw them in London sort of by accident. There is really nothing quite like them out there. They take old (very old) music and poetry and give it new life. This is not stuffy chamber music nor opera. It is high quality vocals with some playfulness thrown in. You can tell that they are really enjoying themselves. This is truly wonderful stuff. I have given this as a gift on many occasions and the recipients have also thought it was wonderful.

amazing!.......2000-01-07

Mediaeval Baebes are the new project from Miranda Sex Garden's very own Katherine Blake. The Mediaeval Baebes are probably the most literally "gothic" group around: most of their material dates to the fourteenth century! The Baebes are a changing cast of over ten female choir members, mostly from Britain. The album is classically minded, and the traditional arrangements of the music are by Katherine. The instrumentation is also traditional: recorders, hurdy-gurdy, and harp. Salva Nos seems to move from towering cathedrals to spooky wooded glens, from light to darkness and round again. Its not the darkest of records (for thos looking for something "goth"), but its artistry is superlative. The sixteen tracks include "Salve Virgo Virginum", "So Treiben Wir Den Winter", "The Coventry Carol", "Gaudete", "Lo Here My Hert". Fans of the first Miranda Sex Garden album Madra are sure to love this record. Also strongly suggested for members of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Role Playing Game afficianados, and anyone who loves Renaissance Fairs! Salva Nos will bring a touch of class to anyone's compact disc collection. A beautiful record issued by Virgin America.

Salva Nos.......2003-08-17

I was just at my favorite record store when I came across "Salvo Nos" in the used bins today. Being a big Mediaeval Baebes fan, I had to buy it. Besides it was the only cd by the group that I found in the bins that I didn't have. As always, I was not disappointed with "Salva Nos". I have yet to be disappointed with a MB cd. I noticed on "Salva Nos" that the minimal use of instruments. Very little percussion was used but otherwise the primary focus was on the women's beautiful voices.Judging by the lyrics on this album, the songs pretty much celebrates the birth of Christ. After a few seconds into the song "Veni Veni", I realized that this was the same Christmas carol I am used to singing otherwise known as "Emmanuel". There was not one song on "Salvo Nos" that I didn't like but then again I have yet to hear one song by the Mediaevel Baebes that I didn't like. I look forward to hearing more from this lovely group of women.

A lot of fun to listen to, worth having.......2002-12-19

My first Mediaeval Baebes album was Undrentide, it had a lot of good stuff in it but mixed in some synthesizer sounds, this one is much better. Salva Nos is the Baebes first work and it is a very good album with no modern sounding instrumentation in it at all. Of the 16 tracks only 7 have ANY musical accompaniment, in many of those it is subtly done.
I can't say which is my favorite tune but everything has a medieval sound and feel to it, I love the way they got such a good harmony and sound going just with their voices. Singing in 13th to 15th century English or Latin, mostly (lyrics provided in both the original and modern tongue), these women clearly don't need musical instruments.
Buy this album for the good music, enjoy it for the lack of intrusive modern sounds.

Enjoy listening to these Baebes, but don't cross 'em.......2001-11-28

Sweetly blending voices.
Mix of haunting, sprightly, wickedly funny, old favorites (Gaudete, Veni veni, Coventry Carol) and unfamiliar delights (Adam Lay Ibounden, Now Springs the Spray).

Settings more traditional than Steeleye Span, richer texture than Christmas in Anglia.

Enjoy listening to these Baebes, but don't cross 'em,
This Ay Nicht sounds like a curse with real sticking power.

Highly enjoyable! when you finish work, come home a little bit 'wired', nothing compares to sitting back with a beer or a port, turn down the lights and playing this album. It's mellow and magical melodies are extremely relaxing and highly enjoyable.

SUPERPITCHER somehow improves M83, is that possible?!.......2005-08-10

The origina mix of DON'T SAVE US FROM THE FLAMES is, quite simply, on the most sublime tracks of this or any year. Incredibly layered, sonically dense, mind-expanding, eligiac, and haunting, it's the best track on M83's latest album. Now, somehow, SUPERPITCHER have done the impossble: adding a propulsive electro-house beat behind the experiment, they've raised the stakes and made DON'T SAVE US a killer dancefloor track that builds & builds for over TEN MINUTES, still retaining a sinister edge. The BIP-BOP remix ain't half bad either, sorta AKUFEN glitch house at best. Not to mention the amazing B-side. This single is value for the $$$ - what are you waiting for?!

First M83 I've Heard, Looking Forward To More.......2005-03-19

I picked up this CD single recently despite having never heard of M83... very impressive sound, a good blend of uniqueness and catchiness. Even better than the original version of Don't Save Us From The Flames is the Superpitcher Remix (track 3) -- ten minutes of bliss.

Splendid Magazine Review.......2005-07-12

Is it Explosions in the Sky doing Brian Eno? Or is it Múm doing Explosions in the Sky? Saxon Shore develop slow, brooding electro-inflected, P2P-produced lullabies that touch on everything from the soundscapes crafted by Eno and Harold Budd to the sublime ambience of Slowdive's Avalyn and the contemporary sounds of Ulrich Schnauss. Luck Will Not Save Us From A Jackpot Of Nothing is epic in its scope and accomplished in its presentation despite some modest shortcomings in the songwriting department. "April 14" is the strongest representation of the group's oceanic reach: icy electronics crash against a lush backdrop of crystalline sound and the rolling warmth of a synthesized lead. Things grow darker with "June 23", only to return to the clear-eyed dynamism of closer "November 16", which breaks hearts and grinds them into the ground with a gorgeous electric piano figure and synthetic vibes. And while the unpolished drum track is distracting, the organ drone that serves as Saxon Shore's angelic coda is enough to leave you dying for more in advance of the group's Dave Fridmann-produced full-length, The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore, due this fall.
