July 10 - SPV USA releases Fires At Midnight for North America.
Depending on your area- the new cd "Fires At Midnight" contains 16/17
songs. Look for the hidden track, a very sensitive song with a special
meaning...
One of hard rock's most influential guitarists has opted for the
cultural upheaval and regality of the Renaissance era, as Ritchie
Blackmore and vocalist Candice Night spearhead a band who abides by a
hearty cross-pollination of English folk, 16th century melodies, and
progressive rock. Here, Blackmore injects tasteful electric lead lines
into a mix consisting of buoyantly executed rhythmic structures and Ms.
Knight's whispery, and at times, satiny vocalizations. Thus,
Blackmore's Night proclaims a festive atmosphere throughout these 16
pieces, while the band's charming rendition of Bob Dylan's "The Times
They Are a Changin'" might represent the lone deviation from the grand
scheme of things to coincide with this ensemble's altogether cheery
demeanor and novel approach. Moreover, for those expecting to hear
Blackmore ravage his electric with his now-infamous high-octane,
blues-drenched power chords and doomsday chops, forget it. With this
release, subtly, finesse, and nuance reign supreme amid a series of
persuasive works that cover quite a bit of fertile terrain.
Glenn Astarita, All-Music Guide
On their third album, Blackmore's Night - the Celtic rock ensemble
led by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow) and vocalist
Candice Night - fuse acoustic medieval and Renaissance sounds to a
modern rock-'n'-roll framework. The results suggest a universe of
kings, troubadours, and fairy tales - imagine Songs from the Wood-era
Jethro Tull fronted by singers Loreena McKennitt and Enya. The album
often leans toward the softer sounds of classical-inspired new age than
toward rock or folk, but Night's sweet voice, reminiscent of Annie
Haslam of Renaissance or Mike Oldfield collaborator Maggie Reilly, adds
an airy, delicate touch to songs like "Crowning of the King" and "The
Storm." Blackmore plays graceful acoustic guitar more often than he
does searing electric, although he picks up the pace on relative
rockers such as "Written in the Stars" and "The Storm," lending the
album a welcome sense of balance. Fires at Midnight may not be a
landmark release like Deep Purple's Machine Head or Rainbow's Rainbow
Rising, but it clearly finds Blackmore reveling in his passion for the
music - and that's a welcome treat, indeed.
Eric Lowenhar, Barnes & Noble
It would be a somewhat ambitious feat to come up with a purer and more
sincere artist than Ritchie Blackmore. Whatever project he has tackled
in the course of the more than thirty years of his career - it has been
consistent, without financial considerations and full of musical
authenticity. Blackmore has never been satisfied with compromises,
neither on the human nor on the artistic level. This attitude has
earned him a lot of respect from the public on the one hand and the
occasional suspicious look on the other. Yet even his most ardent
critics have never had grounds to doubt his exceptional position as an
excellent composer and instrumentalist, and everybody willing to take
the time to thoroughly look into the musical development of this
outstandingly creative musician will find that what Blackmore and his
partner, the American vocalist Candice Night, have been presenting to
the public for some five years has been a central theme in the life of
this remarkable British guitarist. Deep down in his heart, Blackmore
has always had a preference for the music of the Middle Ages. Some time
ago, during the era of Deep Purple and Rainbow, this preference was
cleverly embedded into the overall concept of gritty rock music. Now,
in Blackmore's Night, it is a consistent and very apparent element.
This theme continues to weave its way through the music of the third
release by Blackmore`s Night: Fires At Midnight.
On Fires At Midnight, Blackmore and Candice Night devote themselves
exclusively to a fascinating and beguiling mélange of rock
music, folk and melodies from the 16th century, homage to the music of
the renaissance. With acoustic and electric guitars, strings and a
variety of Renaissance era instruments combined with Candice Night's
enchanting voice, Blackmore translates the diverse music of the Middle
Ages, which fuses romanticism and mysticism, passion and enthusiasm, in
his very unique sound. Like the two predecessors Shadow Of The Moon and
Under A Violet Moon, Fires At Midnight also draws its fascination from
enchanting lyrics and melodies and virtuoso guitar parts that serve the
song in every instance. The 1997 debut album Shadow Of The Moon stayed
in the German album charts for 17 weeks and went gold in Japan. After
the release of the subsequent Under A Violet Moon (spring 1999), which
went to no. 20 in Germany and to no. 12 in the Japanese Billboard
charts, the band embarked on another tour, performing in castles,
churches, theatres and opera houses.
"I'm not one of those people who claim that each new album is the best
thing they've ever done," explains Blackmore, putting Fires At Midnight
into the overall context of Blackmore's Night. "We never think about
supposed evolution, we just play songs. Both our first and our second
album have some wonderful moments, therefore I wouldn't want to compare
Fires At Midnight with these recordings. It happens to be the music
that we feel like making at the moment, it doesn't follow any master
plan, the idea is that it makes us and others happy." Candice Night
adds: "What you hear on the new album came about more or less by
coincidence again. We make music practically every day, try out new
things, experiment, research original sources. At some point we reach a
stage when it's time to record those numbers that we enjoy most."
One thing, however, becomes apparent to the listener: Blackmore clearly
prefers medieval music from Central and South-Eastern Europe to the
Celtic tradition. As on Under A Violet Moon, on which 'Durch den Wald
zum Bachaus' can't deny its German roots, Fires At Midnight draws its
inspiration mainly from Germanic sources. "I don't know why, but I feel
Germany is my second home," offers Blackmore. "Sometimes I even think
that Germany is my first home. Almost all the composers that we draw
from were Germans. Johann Sebastian Bach has always been one of my
greatest inspirational sources, just like Mozart, and of course
Beethoven. European music arrived on our shores via Spain, Italy,
Hungary, and
Germany. The music of the Celts, on the other hand, made its way to
Scotland and Ireland through Asia and Norway; it always has the same
melodies, the same phrases, which I don't particularly like. I prefer
the German composers. For me, especially in Germany there's something
mysterious that seems to inspire composers. Just think, even the
Beatles were in Germany when they made their first important steps."
Blackmore's Night do not restrict themselves to reviving traditional
material. All their tracks (including their adaptation of the Bob Dylan
classic 'The Times They Are A-Changin') always have that typical -
(let's call it) 'Blackmore flair', which on one hand is due to artistic
innovation and on the other hand shows an urge to reinterpret
historical sequences of notes. This makes their music more palatable to
the man on the street. It seems to sweep you from today's societal and
business pressures to a simpler, more tranquil time. Their music lends
itself to relaxation, finding inner peace and communicating with
nature. It is precisely these unique stylings, his brilliant guitar
work and the warm enchanting voice of Candice Night that create the
perfect musical harmony.
Blackmore's Night breathe new life into long-forgotten times without
merely reciting them, not only on their new album Fires At Midnight,
but soon also in their atmospheric concerts, which Blackmore's Night
are planning to play on their upcoming tours in historic surroundings.
As (New Rock & Metal) HAMMER put it in September 1999 after the
show at Osnabrück castle: "He has style, this sensitive guitarist.
Style, taste and an instinct for locations where his minnesongs, most
of which were performed without amplification, fall on particularly
fertile soil. Last year we saw him in a number of German churches, this
summer Sir Ritchie and Maid Candice are appearing in castles and other
atmospheric venues, treading the paths of Goethe, of Brahms, and Johann
Sebastian Bach.
So let's look forward to enchanted evenings beginning this summer in
Germany, as they technically translate the magic of Fires At Midnight
onto the stage. For further information, please see
www.ritchieblackmore.com.
Ritchie Blackmore and his wife once again take as with them on a travel
back into the Middle Ages as they again perform traditional themes and
songs from ancient times on "Fires At Midnight". This time, the
electric guitar took over the lead on some of the tracks and the
general pace is a bit faster, too. A great development which gains the
songs even more power. My current personal faves are the up-tempo
opener "Written In The Stars" which offers an excellent groove and a
dramatic song structure with a cool horn section and some other nice
elements added. Another great tune is called "I Still Remember", an
oriental influenced ballad with beautifiul lyrics and even more great
melodies. Speaking of melodies - even if you're not into medieval
music, you'll definitely have to admit that this kind of sound offers a
lot of these elements - which to me - are the most essential parts of
the song structure in general. Back to the album - the title track
"Fires At Midnight" comes along as an epic type of tune which has a lot
to offer like the great acoustic guitar elements, authentic medieval
instruments and much more.
Other great tracks include up-tempo folk ong "Home Again", which will
paint a picture in your mind where you'll find yourself partying at a
medieval castle or in a tavern, the bombastic "Crowning Of The King"
and the nice ballad "Waiting For You". Over all: an album which will
more than suit any fan of BLCKMORE'S NIGHT's two previous albums as
it's even sounds more authentic and also has some more heavier guitars
to offer which suit the over all sound very fine.
Speaking of Rainbow, ex-Rainbow guitarist (and ex-Deep Purple
guitarist) Ritchie Blackmore will release another Blackmore's Night
album this summer. Blackmore's Night is, of course, the
Renaissance-styled project of Blackmore and his companion Candice
Night. Having just signed with Steamhammer/SPV, the duo will release
Fires At Midnight, their third album, this July.
“It’s very refreshing to work with a label that has the
courage and conviction to release eclectic music and is not just
obsessed with the ‘wriggling generation,’” said
Blackmore. “We feel very honored to work with (Managing Director
of SPV) Manfred Schütz.”
Added Night: “It’s wonderful and rare to find a label that
supports an artist with such enthusiasm and allows us to be free with
our music. Knowing that Manfred has such high standards, it’s an
honor that he chose us to be part of his close family of musicians. We
look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with SPV.”
Blackmore's Night debuted in 1997 with Shadow Of The Moon, a mix of
rock, folk, and 16th Century melodies, played on modern (electric
guitars and strings) and period (hurdy gurdy, bagpipe) instruments.
Shadow went gold in Japan and stayed on the German album charts for 17
weeks. They followed that with Under A Violet Moon in 1999 which
entered the German charts at #20 and the Japanese charts at #12. They
toured in support of this second album, playing castles, churches,
opera houses and theaters. “This music has been in me for over
500 years,” Blackmore said. “I’m going back to my
roots. When I was with Deep Purple, I was just smoking; now I’m
on fire – Fires At Midnight.”
“I’m very excited about Fires at Midnight,” said
Night of an album that will feature Blackmore's guitar work more
prominently and contains songs that tell many poetic tales, instantly
transporting the listener into another time and place, a place of
fantasy and chivalry. “Each song is as different as the colors of
the rainbow," Night continues. "We delve into the mysteries of life and
music. The songs reflect a soul-searching depth and a luminous
enlightenment that can onlycome from being deeply moved and content in
your chosen path.”
Blackmore's Night are planning to tour in support of this album, playing "atmospheric concerts in mythical surroundings."
NEW YORK - Steamhammer/SPV is proud to announce the addition of
Blackmore's Night, the acclaimed Renaissance-styled musical project
from guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and his companion, vocalist Candice
Night, to the label's rich roster of musical legends.
Blackmore's Night will release their third album, "Fires at Midnight,"
in July. "It's very refreshing to work with a label that has the
courage and conviction to release eclectic music and is not just
obsessed with the 'wriggling generation,'" said Blackmore. "We feel
very honored to work with (Managing Director of SPV) Manfred
Schütz."
Added Night: "It's wonderful and rare to find a label that supports an
artist with such enthusiasm and allows us to be free with our music.
Knowing that Manfred has such high standards, it's an honor that he
chose us to be part of his close family of musicians. We look forward
to a long and fruitful relationship with SPV."
This sensational band is 25-year dream-come-true for the one of the
most important and influential guitarists in the history of rock music.
Blackmore's resume reads a career full of highlights as mastermind and
main songwriter with the British hard rock pioneers Deep Purple and his
subsequent successful venture with the international line-up of
Rainbow. In January 1997, he added Blackmore's Night to the list and
has gone on to devote himself exclusively to a fascinating blend of
rock, folk, and 16th century melodies in homage to the music of the
Renaissance era. With acoustic and electric guitars, string sections,
Renaissance instruments like the hurdy gurdy and the bagpipe, and the
delightful voice of Night, Blackmore translates the diverse music of
the Middle Ages - which combines elements of romanticism, passion,
mysticism, and enthusiasm - into a sound all his own.
"This music has been in me for over 500 years," Blackmore said. "I'm
going back to my roots. When I was with Deep Purple, I was just
smoking; now I'm on fire - 'Fires At Midnight.'"
The 1997 album "Shadow of the Moon" stayed on the German album charts
for 17 weeks and went Gold in Japan. The subsequent release, "Under a
Violet Moon," came out in the spring of 1999 and entered the German
charts at #20 and the Japanese charts at #12. With the release of
"Under a Violet Moon," the band embarked on another tour, playing in
castles, churches, opera houses, and theaters around the world.
The duo's third offering, "Fires at Midnight," is another excursion
into the mysterious world of the Renaissance. This new album features
Blackmore's guitar work more prominently. The songs tell many poetic
tales, instantly transporting the listener into another time and place,
a place of fantasy and chivalry. "I'm very excited about 'Fires at
Midnight,'" said Night. "Each song is as different as the colors of the
rainbow. We delve into the mysteries of life and music. The songs
reflect a soul-searching depth and a luminous enlightenment that can
only come from being deeply moved and content in your chosen path."
The arrival of "Fires at Midnight" will be followed by another string of atmospheric concerts in mythical surroundings.
Seit Ritchie Blackmore keine Lust mehr auf Rockmusik und die ewigen
Querelen mit seinen alten Kollegen von Deep Purple hat, lässt er
es musikalisch ziemlich ruhig angehen. Zusammen mit seiner Freundin
Candice Night frönt er unter dem Namen Blackmore's Night
Neo-Renaissance-Klängen irgendwo zwischen mittelalterlichem
Minnegesang und sanftem Rock. Auch auf dem dritten Album Fires At
Midnight steht Candices schöne, klare Stimme wieder im
Mittelpunkt. Ritchie bearbeitet im Hintergrund vorrangig die akustische
Gitarre, was seine alten Fans traurig stimmen wird, aber einfach zum
Bandkonzept gehört. Die erste Single "The Times They Are
A-Changin'" (ein Bob-Dylan-Cover) kann sich mit ihrem epischen Touch
durchaus hören lassen, und auch ein Teil der Eigenkompositionen
besitzt einen leichtfüßigen, ohrwürmeligen Charme.
Zwischendurch schleichen sich allerdings auch immer wieder recht
schmalbrüstige Füller ein, die Fires At Midnight zu einem
etwas durchwachsenen Vergnügen machen. Das
Blackmore's-Night-Debütalbum Shadow Of The Moon ist Einsteigern
auf jeden Fall eher zum empfehlen.
In the shadow of the moon,
She danced in the starlight
Whispering a haunting tune
To the night...
Velvet skirts spun 'round and 'round
Fire in her stare
In the woods without a sound
No one cared...
Through the darkened fields entranced,
Music made her poor heart dance,
Thinking of a lost romance...
Long ago...
Feeling lonely, feeling sad,
She cried in the moonlight.
Driven by a world gone mad
She took flight...
"Feel no sorrow, feel no pain,
Feel no hurt, there's nothing gained...
Only love will then remain,"
She would say.
Shadow of the Moon...
Shadow of the Moon...
Somewhere just beyond the mist
Spirits were seen flying
As the lightning led her way
Through the dark...
Shadow of the Moon..
THE CLOCK TICKS ON
As the wind chimes play along the breeze
Singing songs to stir the soul,
Rainbow colours entwined in fairytales
On the maypole...
Sing the song of lands from far away,
Other times and another place,
The wind can carry us all away from here
Charmed in her embrace...
Leaves turn to red, the nights are getting colder,
Seasons will change, the clock ticks on...
Leaves fill the trees as the days are getting warmer,
Days turn to years, the clocks ticks on...
A cloak and dagger, no fear of freedom
When hearts beat in another time,
Ever changing, the clock ticks on,
If only in your mind...
The wind has died and the chimes are still again
The trees stand tall as they cover me in shade
In the mirror a maiden stares at me
As the secret fades...
And though the clock ticks on to the future
It's in the past my heart will stay
In a time so far away from me
I'll return someday...
BE MINE TONIGHT
Be mine tonight,
We'll travel through all our memories,
In our own little space in time,
You've always been mine...
Through the years,
I feel your love beside me
Through the laughter and the tears,
You've conquered all my fears...
So many stories,
So many treasures,
So much our lives have shared...
We've done it all and we've done it together,
You know I've always cared...
In this heart,
There'll never be another,
You have made my life complete,
Our love is like a dream...
Take my hand,
Nothing can come between us,
We were always meant to be,
Forever, you and me...
In my eyes,
Your face is always before me,
Our souls are now as one...
We've only just begun...
PLAY MINSTREL PLAY
Underneath the harvest moon
Where the ancient shadows will play and hide...
With a ghostly tune and the devil's pride...
"Stranger" whispered all the town
Has he come to save us from Satan's hand?
Leading them away to a foreign land...
Play for me, minstrel, play
And take away our sorrows...
Play for me, minstrel, play
And we'll follow...
Hear, listen, can you hear,
The haunting melody surrounding you,
Weaving a magic spell all around you...
Danger hidden in his eyes,
We should have seen it from far away,
Wearing such a thin disguise in the light of day...
He held the answer to our prayers,
Yet it was too good to be...
Proof before our eyes, yet we could not see...
OCEAN GYPSY
Tried to take it all away,
Learn her freedom... just inside a day,
And find her soul to find there fears are laid...
Tried to make her love their own,
They took her love... they left her there,
They gave her nothing back that she would want to own...
Gold and silver rings and stones,
Dances slowly off the moon,
No one else could know, she stands alone...
Sleeping dreams will reach for her,
She can not say the words they need,
She knows she's alone and she is free...
Ocean Gypsy of the moon,
The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold...
Ocean Gypsy where are you?
The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold...
Turned to gold...
Then she met a hollow soul,
Filled him with her light and was consoled,
She was the moon and he the sun was gold...
Eyes were blinded with his light...
The sun he gave reflected back the night
The moon was waning, almost out of sight...
Softly Ocean Gypsy calls...
Silence holds the stars a while,
They smile sadly for her where she falls...
Just the time before the dawn,
The sea is hushed the ocean calls her,
Day has taken her and now she's gone...
No one noticed when she died,
Ocean Gypsy shackled to the tide,
The ebbing waves, the turning spreading white...
Something gone within her eyes,
Her fingers, lifeless, stroked the sand,
Her battered soul was lost,
She was abandoned...
Silken threads like wings still shine,
Wind swept pleasures still make patterns in her lovely hair... so dark and fine...
Stands on high beneath the seas, cries no more, her tears have dried...
Ocean weep for her, the ocean sighs...
MAGICAL WORLD
I called your name out loud in the courtyard,
The crystal I held was like an old friend
The vines crawled the walls
The wind held its breath
But the answer I longed for never came...
Your name, they had said, was cursed beyond measure,
The families at odds fought with poisoned tongues
And yet through the dark,
Of blind, bitter hate,
Broke a glittering light of two lover's fate...
Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream...
Feelings so strong,
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...
Destiny called them like a silver poem
They followed the dance 'till the music died out...
Last time they met was on an earth bed
Both knowing they'd meet again in the light...
Walls built between us,
Miles separate us,
Yet in our hearts, we share the same dream
Feelings so strong
We just must carry on,
On to our Magical World...
In our Magical World... In our Magical World...
Fear not, dear Juliet, your Romeo's calling
He's waiting for you at the end of the song,
This world was too cruel... for lovers like you,
But here in our hearts you'll always live on...
WRITING ON THE WALL
Is it powers of intuition?
Is it insecurity?
You know I can read your mind and
You have been deceiving me...
Which face wears the masque this evening?
When will your true colors show?
Will they be as black as shadows
Hiding 'neath the rainbow...
Had my heart on a silver chain
With the words engraved
"I loved you"...
Like a swan that was lost at sea
I lost all of me
To you...
Now I see the writing on the wall...
Paranoia or perception?
Put your faith in a liar's hands
Wanting to believe his words
But never knowing where he stands...
There's too many misconceptions
In this game of consequence
When you're finding that your hero
Is just who you're up against…
RENAISSANCE FAIRE
I was told once, by a friend of mine,
She had seen an olden sign,
She said she was not from this time,
And did I feel the same?
So I told her, "Yes", I knew her fear
As I felt the truth draw near
Told her back three hundred years,
Was the time that I held dear...
Gather ye lords and ladies fair,
Come with me to the Renaissance Faire
Hurry now,
We're almost there...
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la,la, la, la...
Through the shroud of mystery,
Turn a page of history,
Feeling more than you can see,
Down at the Renaissance Faire.
Hear the minstrels play their tunes,
They will play the whole night through,
Special songs for me and you,
And anyone whose heart is true...
There's too many stars for one sky to hold,
Some will fall, others are sold,
As the fields turn to gold
Down at the Renaissance Faire...
NO SECOND CHANCE
My diamond's clouded over where it used to shine like light,
And the day keeps running faster,
Into the arms of night...
The stitches on the tapestry say,
"Everything in time,
Will find it's way home again,"
But I'm tired of crying...
No Second Chances
Don't knock on my door
There won't be any answer
I won't be here no more...
This house we had together
Might still be in its place
But the rest of this is much too hard to face,
There'll be No Second Chance...
Lovely moonlit hours we spent
Walking on the beach,
We'd gaze up at the stars,
I swear they were in our reach...
But time... it went on,
Minutes... they ran too fast.
Like you they were gone...
Into the past....
SPIRIT OF THE SEA
I took a walk along the shore
To clear my mind about the day,
I saw a man I'd seen before
As I approached, he slipped away...
I knew his face from years ago,
His smile stays with me ever more
His eyes, they guide me through the haze
And give me shelter from the storm...
As I walk I can feel him,
Always watching over me...
His voice surrounds me,
My Spirit of the Sea...
He went away so long ago,
On a maiden voyage far away
A young man then I did not know,
His life was taken that same day...
And it was almost like he knew
He wouldn't see me anymore
He looked so deeply in my eyes, and said
"Wait for me along the shore..."
And so I come most every day,
To watch the waves rise and fall,
And as I sit here on the sand,
This ocean makes me feel so small...
But I feel my lover by my side,
And he makes me follow my own heart
We'll be together some sweet day
When that day comes we'll never part...
When that day comes we'll never part...
Wait for me along the shore...
GREENSLEEVES
Alas my love, ye do me wrong to cast me out discourteously,
And I have loved you for so long delighting in your company...
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but Lady Greensleeves...
WISH YOU WERE HERE
Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In yor eyes...
Wish you were here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...
The snow is getting colder, baby,
I Wish You Were Here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I Wish You Were Here...
I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...
