Estonian medieval/renaissance music quintet Rondellus have here arranged 12 Ozzy-era Sabbath songs for authentic medieval instruments (harp, fiddle, organistrum, psaltery, bagpipe, lute, etc) translated them into Latin and delivered them in haunting plainsong. It is an extraordinary accomplishment, each song completely and convincingly reinvented and performed with spirit and conviction, far from the "Paranoid" with panpipes facade I feared when I first heard of the venture. Favourites include "Magus" (The Wizard), "Funambulus Domesticus" (National Acrobat), "Via Gravis" (A Hard Road) and Oculi Filioli" (Junior's Eyes).

Any who were enthralled by Cold Meat Industry's trips into medieval folk and neo-Baroque chamber music will enjoy this, as will any who found themselves enjoying Apocalyptica against their better judgement. And, obviously, Sabbath fanatics will need to spark a few up and explore this extraordinary tribute to the greatest rock band of all time. "Eheu Deus!"

1. War Pigs (Verres Militares) - 3:28
2. Junior's Eyes (Oculi Filioli) - 5:33
3. A National Acrobat (Funambulus Domesticus) - 6:13
4. Symptom of the Universe (Symptoma Mundi) - 4:45
5. Behind The Wall of Sleep (Post Murum Somnii) - 5:01
6. After Forever (Post Aeternitatem) - 3:42
7. The Wizard (Magus) - 3:52
8. Solitude (Solitudo) - 3:50
9. Wheels of Confusion (Rotae Confusionis) - 3:05
10. Planet Caravan (Planetarum Vagatio) - 3:58
11. A Hard Road (Via Gravis) - 5:20
