The Visit, Loreena McKennitt's fourth album, came out on Quinlan Road on September 27, 1991, following Parallel Dreams. McKennitt produced it with Brian Hughes, and it's a spellbinding piece of work, Celtic and Middle Eastern threads wound around that clear, bell-like soprano, with "All Souls Night" as its most haunting processional.
It shared the 1992 Juno Award for Best Roots and Traditional Album with the compilation Saturday Night Blues, and it has gone four times platinum in Canada and gold in the US. The Mask and Mirror followed. The album has kept its hold, too: a numbered, limited 180-gram vinyl edition arrived in 2016, and The Visit: The Definitive Edition marked its 30th anniversary on September 24, 2021.
