New age

Shouldn't Loreena McKennitt's albums be classified as New Age instead of the current "Folk" Genre? Stoa 06:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Some of her songs are "new-agey", but that's not really her genre. Her songs can mostly be classified as "folk" music or "national" music. —Sesel 06:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I can see how some of her albums can be labeled as folk, but I don't agree that all of them are. For e.g, The Mask and Mirror, with the exception of one or two songs, is really not all completely folk or celtic, but has songs that would be classified by some as New Age. I guess what I'm saying is, would it be incorrect to have both genres listed under some of her albums? Stoa 17:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I feel that her style is very much a mix of various different styles, including Folk, Celtic, New Age, and others. This means that her songs are going to vary widely between them, with varing degrees of each style within each, so it's not possible, or right, to try and say that she is just Folk, or just New Age, because she's both, and so much more. On top of that, the line between Folk, and New Age is rather subjective to begin with. Definitely use both. Nekura 17:56, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

id call it more a cletic style from some of her albums.Karaveks voice 13:33, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Loreena McKennitt does not classify her work as New Age. She refers to her creations as Celtic or World Music when it must be classified. I think the reference on the page which states her music is New Age should be removed and replaced with World or Celtic...

What she says doesn't matter. Her music has been officially classified by experts in different genres, and her music is not part of only one qualification, which is why we have classified them as celtic, new age and world music. Kiske 02:36, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

If there's anyone who knows what music genre Loreena's work is, it's her. hexugoth 20:39, 12 September 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.212.15.153 (talk)

It could be said "she describes her music as Celtic or World Music" and that others at times classify some of her music as New Age (if that's the case). You can say what someone said about their own work, and you can also say what reliable sources say about a person's work, but in all cases it should be referenced. ~Pesco^{So say•we all} 00:55, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Link to "Echoes" interviews

I am restoring the link to the free "Echoes" interview page. This is an important reliable third party resource by one of the leading ambient music radio shows on US public radio, and it provides insights on the subject of this article that are, to my knowledge, not available anywhere else. --Gene_poole 21:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

When the host of the show, Jdiliberto, mass adds links, it is WP:SPAM and WP:COI) IrishGuy ^talk 21:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm adding them, and I'm not the host. If you can find an alternative series of interviews from an alternative free, reliable third party source, then please add them.--Gene_poole 21:49, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

(to Irish Guy) Not necessarily. WP:BITE and WP:AGF are also important guidelines, perhaps even more important than either WP:SPAM or WP:COI. Are the links relevant for the articles? If the links were added by any other user, would there be a problem? And besides, five links hardly constitute "mass" adding links. Each of the links was to different content that was pertinent to article. older ≠ wiser 21:54, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Midwinters Night Dream links to Golden Girls?

The album "Midwinter's Night Dream" is linked to a page that is a list of Golden Girl's episodes. Shouldn't this link be removed as the page has nothing to do with the album? Or maybe someone should create a page for the album?

another request to lift a redirect

All Souls' Night redirects to article about All Souls' Day. I will entually remove the internal link, but I think the first problem should be corrected. I've mention McKennitt in Talk:Samhain and Talk:All Souls' Day. (Hope you all had happy ones.)Civic Cat (talk) 14:09, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

References

Quite a bit of this article seems to be fan-written original work without citations. I think it could use a lot of unbiased clean-up. I've added the {BLP sources} and {original research} message boxes -- Mecandes (talk) 20:35, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
