Free Music Review: One masterpiece and a couple of good ones
Hit: 3 Stars
After Enya, Norah Jones and Yanni, the roster of New Age musicians becomes decidely less famous. One popular New Age artist is Loreena McKennitt. Her music, like her ancestry, is Celtic though many of the themes are reminescent of Enya. Her most famous work is The Mummer's Dance, a staple of pop radio stations in the late 1990s, and the feature work on this album. The other works are also good, but none as great as The Mummer's Dance. The album itself only has eight works, making this a short album for the purchase price. Each of the works are unique, some are instrumental while others include singing. The music is appropriate background music while reading or eating dinner. Overall, an OK album.Free Music Review: Little goes a long way
Hit: 3 Stars
This is a pretty overrated album. The singer is OK, and so is the material if taken in small enough doses. Taken full strength it is dull, depressing celtic elevator music. If you must buy it, put it in your mp3 collection and 'shuffle' it in with some better music (Miriam Stockley, Grey Eye Glances, Porcupine Tree, Jethro Tull jump to mind) and it will provide a semi-nice mix, but taken on it's own it bombs. Better yet, pass on this one.Free Music Review: Celtic music lovers
Hit: 3 Stars
Perhaps now as well known as the Celtic Woman CD's, this is refreshing and relaxing music, but takes a bit of listening to. It is mystical, lyrical, weaving lore into a musical setting.
