3.0 out of 5 stars
Fresh to a point..., July 15, 2003
This review is from: Ceol Na Gcapall: Breath of Fresh Air (Audio CD)
There's a lot of music out there today which boasts a Celtic theme or flavor but really falls into the ambient "new age" slot. That's where Breath of Fresh Air should probably go.
Of course, it's hard for any music featuring bagpipes, uilleann or otherwise, to be truly ambient. I think maybe the idea was good but, along the way, the concept became a little confused.
It's definitely something new, neither traditional nor purely ambient. Whether or not it's successful ... well, that depends on whether you enjoy ambient music that's not really meant to stay in the background. Personally, I prefer something a little more intentionally intrusive.
