QNTAL "Ecce Gratum" // Audio Engineer & Wifey FIRST-TIME Reaction & Review

[@cynthiamiller483]

I think what we’re hearing is a synth instrument on keyboard. The tempo is so fast that I would never have understood this in English! And it reminds me of a song sung at a celebration. I think this is the second time I’ve heard you reference Loreena McKennitt with a song. It must be time to do another of her songs! This was a great way to continue my Monday. I’m ready for more!! 🎶 Cyd

“A rave at the round table” STOP IT! I love it. And so accurate. 😂 This song was a big club hit for them. They also released a club mix for it. This is one of my faves!

Sick, never heard anyone do a reaction to this

The picture does indeed show their vocalist Sigrid Hausen/Syrah. According to the information in the CD-booklet, the "real" instruments being played on this album are fiddle, oud, saz, tar (the latter three are used especially in middle-eastern music), guitars, hurdy-gurdy (sounds like it was also used in this song in some parts) and bagpipes. All percussion on this album was artificially generated (i.e. by programming) except for a djembe being played in the song "Maravillosos". If you (or anyone else) would like to hear more faster/up-beat songs by Qntal, I'd recommend "Frühling", "Am Morgen Fruo (remix by Bruno Kramm)", "Nihil", "Flamma", "Ludus", "Sumer", "Tenacious Love" (this one also has an official music-video), "Frühlingslied", "Nox Aeterna" (it's a remix of their song "Schnee") and "Chint". There are a few more.

@@musikbyjh You're welcome! I'm just wondering if you have simply overlooked my (detailed) comments to your first three Qntal-reactions or if they (for some mysterious reason) are invisible for you, because already in my comment to your second reaction ("Virgo Splendens"), I posted a link to a German interview-clip, in which you get to hear the perfect German pronunciation of the band's name twice at the beginning. This time, you already got very close. If you want to get perfect, check out the aforementioned link.
