4.0 out of 5 stars Fine Celtic Rock, January 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sunken Treasures (Audio CD)

Tempest has, as always, done a very fine job of bringing folk music into the electric age. Their use of modern instruments to relay ancient songs and not so ancient songs is a wonderful way to keep the bardic tradition alive. For the disappointed gentleman, this is Celtic Rock, not traditional folk. It is supposed to sound like it does, and they do a fine job of melding the two genres.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good compilation of different styles here, June 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sunken Treasures (Audio CD)

Although a few tracks here aren't the greatest, this holds up to the standard of "Serrated Edge." "When Tenskwatawa Sings" shows a distinction between Tempest and a certain other band that relies heavily on a flute / electric folk sound, touching as it does on Native Americana. "Queen of Argyll" and "And Shall Trelawney Die" are standout tracks. "Cat in the Corner" and "Barrow Man" are in a slightly different form than they appear on "Turn of the Wheel."

1.0 out of 5 stars Bummer, June 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sunken Treasures (Audio CD)

I picked up this CD for the sole reason of getting a copy of the song Queen of Argyll. Unfortunately, this is not the traditional folk version. The song, like all others on the album, has been electrified and the changes really destroy a fine tune. I found this album to be a huge dissapointment.
