Qntal are awesome. I've been following them since about 1994 or so, and I think I have all but one of their CDs. Very good group.

Qntal also has a side project, more or less, that's mostly medieval music, and the group there is named Estampie.

Another one with a similar feel, at least on their early CDs, is Bel Canto. Their best album is 'Shimmering, Warm, and Bright'. If you like, I can upload a couple of mp3s from that album for you so you can see if you'd like it or not. ;)

I'll have to check out Estampie - that sounds interesting. Bel Canto is one of Rialian's favorite groups and we have about 5 of their CDs, but thanks for the offer of music.

Hee. Oh, cool, then you know they're cool. :) I think Estampie may only have one CD available in the US, unless you get a place that does imports.

Qntal should be at Faeriecon again in 08, if you want to check them out live in an interesting setting. You don't have to attend the con, as far as I know tickets can be bought separately for the Good and Bad Faerie Balls.

Estampie also, though I didn't find it as interesting as Qntal.

That is an extremely creative video and good music... Captures the feel of the elves.
