Here's an excerpt from the press release:
On The Village Lanterne, Blackmore's Night combine great vocal melodies, seemingly archaic instrumentations and virtuoso guitar parts with lyrics that allow the listener to dive deep into a mysterious, romantic world. In the process, Blackmore continues to develop his ability as a composer and instrumentalist without ever denying his former artistic identity. ‘Mond Tanz/Child In Time’ is the resurrection of one of Deep Purple’s greatest hits in a new guise, and ‘Street Of Dreams’ is a haunting new edition of the Rainbow classic. Both songs represent the close artistic links to Blackmore’s work in the '70s and '80s. The album is rounded off by a new version of Ralph McTell’s ‘Streets Of London'.
