To the background of extensive study of Middle Age music and Christian mysticism, LEYRA sketches a personal experience of life - which is a valid hope for many - showing that searching for the blue flower and the yearning for the golden age are, even in our present era, a more worthwhile goal than all the venality of this world.
"Though a mite sweet on the melody side, the thirteen tracks are unmistakably within the Erdenklang style: all rich digital tones and samples, excellently produced and performed."
AUDION 10/90
"Leyra are a group who specialize in uniting the world of electronics with the sensibilities and sounds of medieval music. This is romantic music, with the simulated sound of recorders, viols, flutes, and reeds weaving in and out of the synthesized melodies. Two songs are included, appropriately sung in Middle High German."
