4.0 out of 5 stars
A mixed bag, but kinda nice!,
By DJ Joe Sixpack (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Mondo Celtic (Dig) (Audio CD)
An interesting collection of Celtic trad and fusion... It's mainly on the glossy side -- the disc opens with some of the more overproduced, world beat-ish examples of Capercaillie and Kila's ouvres, but gradually shifts into more acoustic terrain with some classic Planxty and Christy Moore, and a compelling ballad by Paul Brady ("The Island," one of the highlights of the disc). It also drifts into an unusual Galician vocal ensemble, Leilia, who transpose Celtic song into the sort of women's choral work that Balkan groups such as Kitka, et al. are known for... This disc is definitely a mixed bag, but definitely worth checking out if yo want to get a good sense of the range of this style of music.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Way too melancholic,
This review is from: Mondo Celtic (Dig) (Audio CD)
I don't know much about Celtic music, but I love the Putumayo collections, and sought to explore more Celtic music when I purchased this, but for the most part it is way too mellow. There are a few nice songs, and I suppose if you're feeling in a reflective mood and you want some fiddle-type melodies to go with it, then by all means.
