Ik zag dat Qntal nog geen topic heeft, en naar mijn mening verdienen ze die wel.
Deze Duitse gothic/darkwave/neo-folk/ambient/medieval/electro/whatever groep is het beluisteren meer dan de moeite waard.

In 1992, Ernst Horn (Deine Lakaien) together with Michael Popp (Estampie) and vocalist Sigrid Hausen (Estampie) brought forth the electronic medieval-project Qntal. [Photo]
In an unconventional compositional and acoustic way the ensemble Qntal combines medieval poetry and modern electronics. Either harmonic or commentating, innovative soundscapes and arrangements fit in medieval poetry. The main themes of the 12th and 13th century texts are politics, religion and death and in an almost archetypical way seem to reflect emotions and realities of our postmodern society.
In this ensemble, the distinction between "serious" and "pop" music becomes transparent. The emotional component as well as the contemplative effect of the music opens a whole new world of magic and poetry to the listener.
