I've ordered the collection with one thought in mind: ohh boy! a good irish collection.

i was astonished to hear SYNTHESIZED(!) music instead of the real instruments - no violins here, no bagpipes, no flutes!

only synthesized music! this collection had much potential but it was killed!

not to mention the annoying rain sounds. ok - their nice for starts but they dont stop all thru the album and sometimes the music gets engulfed in them totaly.

BAD!

When you turn this enchanting music on you immediately want to grab your favorite chenille throw and curl up in your cozy chair. As you listen, you can't help and think up mystical stories to go along with the tunes. If your into Celtic rythms or in need of some soothing meditation time, buy this CD and order yourself some aroma therapy candles and you'll have a moment to yourself that will make you want to be sitting on a hill in Ireland with mist hitting your face.(if you want that effect right away, w/o paying for a ticket: grab a spray bottle and a fan)But,don't forget the music....

I just got this yesterday and put it on my stereo and was instantly surrounded, in the middle of a horrendous heat wave, with the blissful sound of rain and the beautiful sound of upbeat Celtic rhythms. I only wish it were longer and perhaps a little more dramatic. The music ended way too soon!

This c.d. definately makes you want to stoke up the fire and relax with the love of your life. Enchanting, relaxing, and allows your mind to drift to faraway cliffs, gentle rains, and celtic warmth. A great buy!

The music on this CD is simple but varied, from Irish jigs to some ballads. But every piece has the sound of rain in the background... every piece, all the way through. I come from a climate with a lot of rain (not Ireland), but even a desert-dweller would get the idea after a couple of pieces in background, and an interlude or two. It made me glad when the last piece was finished. This one was fine for a single listening, but no more than that for me.

I really enjoy this CD! I do admit that when I first listened to it while driving, I was a little surprised by the few loud thunder bursts and rain drops in a few selections even though I knew that there would be rain in the background of the CD! However it didn't really bother me then or now and I've been playing this CD ever since I received it. It is very easy listening and even the rain storm is soothing. This was a good purchase.

This CD was exactly what I was hoping. I wanted something that was relaxing and this CD fit the bill.

To much rain and it kept distorting the music. I was not really happy with this CD. They should have had it more of a gentle rain instead of heavy.

Very distracting rain noises in the background of virtually every track! NOT recommended!

The music is familiar to anyone into Irish music; pleasant, but not great. But at this price, you could afford to give an extra Christmas present to everyone on your list who likes (or might like) traditional Irish.

A shame, though, that the artists aren't credited.
