Robert de Fresnes Mythology (2000)

"Mythology" is a very classy offering, a symphonic new age journey style crossover album that falls into a category somewhere between Enigma, Deep Forest, Vangelis and Mike Oldfield. There are lush orchestrations and memorable themes, and melodies laced with great guitar and keyboard work all held together by wonderfully atmospheric vocals and vocal textures by the renowned soprano Catherine Foster. The album is split into three suites; “The Nordic Suite”, “Suite of the Ancients” and “The Americas Suite”, and contain titles like “The Return of the Longships”, “Aurora” and “Eagle Dancers”. These all imply a magical journey - and that’s just what you get here, lush evocative melodious music - a soundtrack for the mind and soul.
