To start from the end, As Darkness Falls is compound of Maggie's voice with generous reverb and some piano, that's all.  The song is so beautiful it hurts.  Maggie's whisper "goodnight" at the end has a tremendous power.

To France is a modern version of Mike Oldfield's song.  There is a chance to endless argumentation about which one of the two To Frances is better.  Elena's sound is full-bodied and rich while original's is rough and wild.  I like it when Mike plays with the reverb when Maggie sings "by the lamp's flicker" in the original version.  There are some differences in the lyrics, too.  I'm quite sure, Maggie sings "far from the highland" in Elena, while the original says "islands", but you must listen to it by yourself.  If I had to introduce Maggie to somebody who has never heard anything, I would play To France instead of Moonlight Shadow or Everytime We Touch.  But which To France...just can't decide.

Maggie sings He Moved Through The Fair accompanied by only the reverberation of Lyndhurst Church: a cappella.  She controls the song serenely and without exaggeration.  Do I need to mention, a cappella is no mean feat by a singer.  Especially if you end up showing no weakness.

Listen To Your Heart and Syonia are rapidly running pop songs.  They could make a great hit under lucky conditions -- and no big hits have ever made without luck.  Listen To Your Heart is more straightforward.  Please, could you play the dist guitar one octave lower and select the sound good for that range to reduce the blue sound scape.  Syonia comes from "sayonara", farewell.  I once read that Maggie was unsure of this song because of some irregular chords, perhaps.  No way!  This is a great song.  It's not based so much on melody, rather it builds a texture of instruments and Maggie's voice developing it towards a minor whirlwind of triple time bass beats.  Breaking the rules is acceptable as long as your thing works.

The title song Elena, too,  relies on texture rather than melody.  The irregular rhythm and the expressive acoustical bass give color to this lyricless song.  Fast running song in minor key create a yearning mood.  Värttinä adds some ethnic spice.

Torn Between Lovers starts with an acoustical guitar intro.  Could we have more of this guitar in the other songs, too, to fill the lower midrange gap.  A meditative song of difficulty in decision.

Finally, I have to mention that You Brightened Up The Darkness is built up of an incredibly beautiful song melody.
