Ethereal

Ethereal is a term that describes a subgenre of DarkWave music. Typical of this kind of music is the use of atmospheric guitar soundscapes, including sound effects like echo and delay. A second typical characteristic is the use of breathy male or high register female vocals - often with hard to decipher lyrical content - and a strong influence of ambient music. This quality refers to music that is typically delicate, light and airy. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: Maple Bee

"Enya LOL?" Ethereal as a descriptive term will include Enya's music, whereas the ethereal genre excludes Enya's music. Keep in mind that tags at Last.fm are for use in many ways, not only for genres.

I'm very impressed by this kind of perfect sounds - I listen 4AD music many years, have all these original CD discography and it's still the best for me... Yees - it was perfect musicians in This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins, and now Lisa Gerrard is still great !! I really love 4AD music....
