Our Take

Ah, Blackmore's Night, you never fail to transport me back to a time when I pretended to be a medieval troubadour in the shower. With their 25th Anniversary New Mix of "Fires at Midnight," this folk-rock duo is aiming to reignite the flames of their musical prowess.

The first track, "Written in the Stars," sets the tone with its haunting melodies and enchanting vocals. Ritchie Blackmore's intricate guitar work weaves together seamlessly with Candice Night's ethereal voice, creating a sonic tapestry fit for a Renaissance fair.

As we delve deeper into the album, we are greeted with tracks like "Crowning of the King" and "Mid Winter's Night," which showcase the band's knack for storytelling through song. The lush instrumentation and rich harmonies transport the listener to a mystical realm where minstrels roam free and magic is at every turn.

However, not everything is a bed of roses in this medieval utopia. Some tracks, such as "Play Minstrel Play," feel a bit repetitive and could benefit from a touch of modern flair. But hey, who am I to judge? Maybe that's the essence of Blackmore's Night's charm - sticking to their roots and never straying from their beloved sound.

Overall, "Fires at Midnight" (25th Anniversary New Mix) is a delightful romp through a bygone era, filled with enough whimsy and wonder to make even the most jaded music critic crack a smile. So grab your goblet of mead, don your finest tunic, and let Blackmore's Night serenade you into the night.
