I have maybe fifty Celtic cds. If I lost this one, I would surely replace it. It is very authentic Celtic (Irish), but if you are into popular Celtic music (such as Enya) or traditional Celtic folk music (such as Golden Bough or Julia Fowlis), this may not speak to you. However, if you want to look deep into the Celtic soul, this is perfect. Ancient, mystical, primal - it may miss you or it may speak to you deeply. My guess is that the more spiritual you are, the more it will speak to you - but that's just a guess. My biggest complaint is that it is sung in Gaelic with no English translation provided, though there are notes giving you the gest of every song. It should also be noted that though these songs are (rightly) billed as "mystical", there is no overt spirituality in most of them - they are spiritual the same way the Song of Solomon is - though they are not mostly erotic.

I play this CD as background music in my Watercolor Class at College of Marin, and for teenagers in 'Recovery during their art therapy sessions. Noirin's soothing voice does not interfere with the creative process. I am replacing this CD as I have worn out my original audio tape.

Great Cd. Beautiful. You can hear the centuries soaring past as you listen to her lilting voice and vocal ornaments of the old days. Great for relaxation or contemplation.
