Product Description
Secret Voyage is another kaleidoscopic musical journey through time and space, incorporating and rearranging traditional melodies from all over Europe, blending the "old" and contemporary. The brilliant guitar stylings of Ritchie Blackmore, the enchanting vocals and lyrics of singer/songwriter Candice Night and the saturation of authentic Renaissance instruments woven throughout the melodies, create a unique style of music they call Renaissance/Folk/Rock. Secret Voyage consists of twelve new tracks, recorded by Candice Night, Ritchie Blackmore and their Band Of Minstrels. This musical journey is inspired by nature and incorporates acoustic and electric guitars, strings, renaissance instruments and Candice Night s ethereal voice and mystical lyrics.

 Not their best, but still great. September 6, 2008
John Garrett (The Desert Southwest)
Blackmore's Night has carved out a pretty decent specialty niche...call it "Renaissance Rock". There are other groups who try to do this type of music, but most of them lack the sheer unadulterated talent that Ritchie Blackmore and Candace Night bring to the table.
This CD is great. It's not as good as "Fires At Midnight", but it's better than "Village Lanterne" and "Ghost Of a Rose".
My favorite tracks on this CD are "Locked Within the Crystal Ball" and "Sister Gypsy".
My niece says she wants to be Candace Night when she grows up (smile)!
 What was Ritchie thinking? September 6, 2008
Machine Head (Toronto, Ontario Canada)
I have been a big Ritchie fan for years. Even when he started Blackmore's Night. But this one is way too much... Don't get me wrong, he still can play and everything, but this is one of his worst outings. Based on the selection of the material alone, it looks like Ritchie is running out of creative ideas. And the singer's vocals are purely annoying, really... Ritchie, call Joe Lynn Turner.
 Great album, but where's the bonus video? August 29, 2008
Mako-Chan (Desert Hot Springs, CA USA)
I purchased this CD as a gift and the receiver was very happy with it except for one thing: the bonus music video of the song "Village Lanterne" was nowhere to be found on the disc! After attempting to find it by playing the album in both a computer and a DVD player, the video still would not appear. This was most frustrating and confusing as the back cover of the album clearly lists the video after the musical tracks. I think what may have happened is that the bonus video only came with the Secret Voyage Limited Edition Digipak album and the regular album does not have the video but it's listing was mistakenly left on the regular album back cover. That is why I give the CD four stars rather than five; other than the mysterious video issue, this album is a real musical treasure. ^_^
Coming out party for Blackmore's Night - Secret no more, the voyage continues August 26, 2008
Harald Freudendahl (USA Florida)
New Age and Renaissance music lovers already had Blackmore's Night on their radar-screen for the last 10 years. Secret Voyage offers the chance to open this amazing niche/specialty music to a wider audience. Please see other reviews for details.
Try it out. You will not be disappointed, especially if this is your 1st Blackmore's Night CD you are trying. [...]
Another impressive album from the master himself August 19, 2008
Michael J. Frederick (San Antonio, TX)
I've been a fan of Richie Blackmore going back to his Deep Purple and Rainbow days and quickly took a liking to his music in Blackmore's Night. Richie and Candace do not disappoint on this album at all. I was a bit hesitant about Rainbow Eyes, with it being a remake from Richie's Rainbow days. However, Candace did well on it and Richie's guitar work was nothing short of stupendous. I especially love the song Locked Within the Crystal Ball as there are great vocals on it and Richie's usual outstanding guitar work. If you are a new fan, or a "returning" fan of Blackmore's Night, this album will not disappoint you. A definite two thumbs up from me.
