5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, May 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: I Could Read the Sky (Audio CD)

Wow...if you like ambient music you'll want this CD. Sinead O'Connor lends her haunting voice to a stunning Roisin Dubh and the closing live take of Singing Bird leaves you feeling blessed. Worth a good long play!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous., October 3, 2004

This review is from: I Could Read the Sky (Audio CD)

I listened to the Afro Celts for quite a while before I bought this CD, and didn't want to compare O'Lionaird's work here with his work with the group. But comparison has only made me more impressed. This is a vastly different kind of work, obviously, and it showcases other (and more deeply interpretive, I think) sides of his wonderful voice that you won't hear in an Afro Celts CD. I love both works equally, but in very different ways. I recommend this CD to those familiar with the Afro Celts as an interesting compare-and-contrast, and to everyone in general for its simple beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic, ethereal, poetic., August 6, 2001

"galexy3" - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Could Read the Sky (Audio CD)

I haven't seen this film, but purchased the CD based on the samples found here. This is a rich collection of haunting, poignant contemporary and traditional Irish music. The liner notes contain lyrics, a small realworld catalog of music, and beautiful black and white images by photographer Steve Pyke.

5.0 out of 5 stars I hesitated before buying this - but I love it.
Iarla O'Lionnaird was recommended to me as an example of Irish pronunciation in his Sean Nos singing. From searching on his name I came up with this album. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS WAS NOT GREAT
The music is an example of how music does not match the words written about it. I was disappointed. Not at all what I was looking for. Read more

Very good album is still growing on me. (It improves with age).

Reminiscent of many styles. Slightly drum-and-bass trip hop. Slightly instrumental (synth). Read more
