4.0 out of 5 stars Irish Blues, July 2, 1999

Forget about U2, Sinead and the likes. This is what Irish blues is all about. This CD features various artists performing heartbreaking traditionals with a minimal but inspiring approach. Often, only one instrument(and a voice)can be heard. You hear flutes, bagpipes, violins and a piano passing by. One of the most remarkable tracks on the album is a remake of the traditional Danny Boy. It's thanks to Peter Gabriel that this wonderful music is available. Don't play this album too often for it is 100% melancholy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lament for our dead., September 21, 2001

Lament has been helping us get through these bad times. The beautiful haunting bagpipe numbers make me think of the fallen heroes of the WTC disaster. "One Breath", a beautiful 45-second acapella howl of pain and mourning expresses more than any lyrics or melody could.
Lament is beautiful, haunting, heartbreaking music.
