Ameno Era

The legendary musical project Era come back with album "The 7th Sword". Through this new opus of original compositions, its creator Eric Levi proves once again that he is free from all musical dictates and still creates surprise. His music carries the listener into another dimension, with an imaginary language and a timeless sound that has already fascinated more than 10 million people around the world. This 7th album also features a new remix of the famous song "Ameno" to mark its 20th anniversary.

Twenty years ago, Eric Levi, a French rock guitarist turned soundtrack composer, unveiled a new musical project to the world. ERA’s first song Ameno blended electronic beats with choral chants and dramatic vocals and became an instant hit wherever it was heard. You’d say it went viral, but nobody used that word in 1997. Today, that signature song is more popular than ever, thanks to its rediscovery by a new generation of YouTubers and martial arts fans, generating millions of views on YouTube. ERA’s subsequent six albums have sold more than 10 million copies around the world, awaking spiritualty and a dimension of mysticism wherever it is heard…

Founded in 1996, ERA (an acronym for Enminential Rythmn of the Ancestors) is the project of French musician Eric Lévi, whose ethereal, evocative soundscapes began in the tradition of artists like Enigma and Deep Forest. ERA's self-titled debut LP was released in 1998 to widespread success. A mix of dramatic pseudo-orchestral fare and lyrics in a self-designed language similar to Latin and Greek, Era also incorporated elements of world music, electronic, and new age. Following up in 2000 with Era 2, Lévi returned in 2003 with The Mass - whose title track referenced Carl Orff's masterpiece O Fortuna - and sales subsequently hit platinum status in France and Switzerland. The Very Best of Era was released in 2004 and featured all the popular tracks from their previous three records as well as several remixes…

The Mystical Era is a harmonious collection. The best works from this series are strange, melancholic, but always attracting to their enchanting magical archaic romance. The collection contains all the gamut of mystical moods, from impressionistic tendencies with oriental shades to motives of ancient spiritual knowledge, from acoustic chamber academic music with a minimalist bias to ethnic music of different peoples and eras. All this magnificently shines with the names of the creators: Gregorian, Keiko Matsui, Era, Enigma, Dellirium, Lyra, etc.
