CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com This intriguing collection features four neo-trad bands: Ireland's Kila and Lúnasa, plus Shooglenifty and the Peatbog Faeries from Scotland. Each uses related Gaelic sources as a jumping-off spot to destinations unknown, weaving multistrand day-glo Celtic knots by any means necessary. Downtown club styles like drum & bass, house, and techno romp amid the shamrocks and heather, but are applied with such taste, humor, and nonviolent restraint that the acoustic traditions emerge enhanced rather than extinguished. Shooglenifty's chatty, quirky "Bjork's Chauffeur" and their elegiac "August" are especially notable. Lúnasa contribute a syncopated, jazzy ode to an ancient Druidic seasonal celebration called "Bealtainne" (a bit of trivia: their name refers to another one of these). Kila's "Gwerzy," a hyperactive and uniquely merry treatment of a Breton lament, is another standout, as is a set of trance-infused jigs by the Peatbog Faeries titled "Alexander MacAskill of Berneray/Harris." --Christina Roden Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsThe best Eire and Caledonia | 01/16/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "As soon as I heard the snippet of "Gwerzy," I knew I had to have this CD. With the ethereal melodies of the Peatbog Faeries and the way-out-there pieces by Shooglenifty, this CD is one of those "deep cuts" gems that Celtic music fans are sure to love. "Bjork's Chauffeur" quickly became my favorite song of all time after I bought this CD. Get it. Dance to it. Scare your friends." ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE for celtic music fans Kristina L. Klar | Cincinnati, Ohio United States | 07/22/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you're a fan of celtic music you should not be without this CD! It has everything from fiddle, violin, bagpipes, celtic whistle and the list goes on! The songs represent a wide variety of mood that covers . . ., well, everything. You've got your upbeat jig from Shooglenify on track 3. A surreal solemness on track 8 and everything in between from the rest of these to-be-treasured tracks. I'm picky with my music and if it doesn't have a certain something, that conveyance of emotion, I don't take the time to review it. This CD was well worth the money and the time for me to write this. If anyone is disappointed by this CD, I would be shocked." A New Twist A. Frey | Philadelphia, PA United States | 03/21/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I own several CDs of Celtic music, but this one stands out among them as a unique example of the new face of a beautiful style of music. Shifting moods between songs adds to the impact of this wonderful collection."
