Reviews:
F.R.E.U.D. is composed of Cora O'Donovan from Dublin on vocals, Ingo Hauss from Germany on keyboards, and
Hayo Panarinfo, also from Germany, on percussion. They have crafted a sound that will undoubtedly get
compared to Enya, especially the densely layered vocals. But while Enya uses her own voice, F.R.E.U.D.
includes a gorgeous chorus to back up O'Donnovan. Another difference is in the percussion. Time Passengers
features urban dance grooves that set off the soaring vocals. The lyrics are New Age paeans to euphoria, joy
and connection with the sacred. A host of musicians fills out the richly orchestrated sound, including electric
and acoustic guitars, violin and cello. The stunning result is a gorgeous album with anthemic melodies and
inspiring vocals. A couple of favorites include the aptly named “Euphoria.” An Enigma-esque groove drives this
tribute while the soaring chorus and upbeat melody bring the message home. Another treat is “The Miracle of
Moona,” with wordless vocals and an inspiring melody leading to lyrics about the power and mystery of the
ancient highlands.
