Free Music Review: Stellar first release by giants of the New Celtic Thing
Hit: 5 Stars
This band's debut studio disc, if not as absolutely accomplished as their sophomore effort, Rubai, is nonetheless a recording of remarkable subtlety, drive, and musicianship, providing the hearer with nearly unending listening pleasures. It takes musicians of not only consummate skill but also penetrating aesthetic discernment to produce a disc of this weight and consequence.
For shear rhythmic intensity and melodic/harmonic joie de vivre, this band sets an astonishingly high bar. Listen. It's really difficult to conjure such burning cadences and still sound natural, not wildly--let alone unpleasantly--frenetic. Yet these people handle it without missing a beat, so to speak.
In some ways, I like this disc even better than Rubai. There's a certain freshness, an innocence, a naivet? shining through these digital bits that, although not entirely lacking on their second offering, nevertheless defines this disc in a way that it doesn't Rubai. Consequently, it's nearly impossible to choose between the two: Do you want sophistication or intensity? Subtlety or strength (not that each doesn't participate in both; we're just talking emphases here)? Mature reflection or youthful enthusiasm?
If I were you, I'd opt for both. If I HAD to choose one over the other, I think I'd take Rubai. But it'd be an awfully close call.
