About Karl Jenkins - Adiemus III: Dances of Time
Adiemus is a studio creation of Karl Jenkins, the former Soft Machine keyboardist whose first album, Songs of Sanctuary, spawned the unlikely hit "Adiemus," heard on a Delta Airlines ad and compiled on the mega-selling Pure Moods collection. Plugging into Gregorian chant, ethereal Celtic music, the hybrid language of Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance), and the layered vocals of Enya, Jenkins hits all the exotica buttons. His Enya is Miriam Stockley, who can sound like a boys choir or an African tribe. The initial Adiemus album had an undeniable charm and exoticism, and, despite its advertising lineage, gorgeous melodies. While Adiemus II was mired in Jenkins's symphonic aspirations, Adiemus III regains some of the charm of the original. But Jenkins's writing is overly precious, drawing on superficial aspects of global dance rhythms that make Adiemus come off like Disney's "It's a Small World After All." --John Diliberto Amazon.com

Once again Jenkins has produced a wonderful piece of music. His style is, for some, perhaps an aquired taste but once you have listened and enjoyed his music you become eager for more. The folk music genre used in this particular CD is quite magical. Lets hope there is more to come. I especially enjoy listening to his music whilst on the computor or driving in the car! Lyrical

Music moves the soul, so why not the body as well. This album delivers both. Rain Dance is my favorite. It is easy to picture everyone dancing in a rainstorm on a summer afternoon. Stronge dances to subtle sways. Dance alone or dance with one or more persons, this CD has it all.
September 3, 2002This music is beautiful and unusual. It is unlike anything I have ever heard.
September 19, 2001This is a very well put together CD, consisting of different "Dances" that were popular throughout time. Each piece is wonderfully composed and performed, providing for an experience that you won't forget for a while. Another star from Karl Jenkins!
Each track is extremely well done, comprised of the vocals that are familiar to Adiemus, and a more orchestral work than what has come before. Don't miss this CD! January 16, 2001
The first Adiemus album was a revalation to me and I enjoyed the second as well. With the third one, however, I feel that Karl Jenkins has played the Adiemus idea out and many of the musical motifs feel cliché. In short, I was disappointed.
