I'm pretty sure that's a compliment. If it's not, it should be.

If you're going to take the lazy and uninspired route of simply copying and pasting your comment from one song to the next then you might want to be a bit more careful with your spelling.

It"s Enya, not Ennia.

Nearly hit the PSD button in the first 5 seconds. Very glad that I didn't.

Certainly not something that I typically listen to, but one of the main reasons I listen to RP is have my ears opened to something different.

Thanks, Magnus. As it happens, now that I've bought a couple of ACSS albums, I now know that they're mostly Irish, not least because all the Gaelic lyrics are in Irish rather than Scots Gaelic, so leprechauns it is. ACSS has to be one of the most successful celtic + 'world music' fusions I've come across, and there are an absolute sack load these days in Celtic music. Highly recommend. 8 -> 9

ACSS are another fine example of the renaissance of modern Scottish music over the last couple of decades, following a trail blazed by Runrig and Capercaillie, combining traditional and modern Scottish, and a wide range of international, rhythms and sounds in very, very interesting and stimulating ways. Another fine example of a weird sound fusion that shouldn't work, but does, is Salsa Celtica. Anyway, 7 from the Nottingham jury, bound to rise with further listenings. With a few drams of fine malt inside me this would be an automatic 9 :*)

Saw them this August at Deerlijk, Belgium - they were the best band I've seen in years - if you get the chance to see them take it.

This kind of music is great when you're at Irish Fest, completely drunk, and dancing to your hearts content with a bunch of people who are doing the same. But when you're sitting in front of a computer, completely sober, and haven't been outside in 9+ hours...there's just something lost in the translation. Definitely not something I'd listen to on a regular basis. (But I sure can't wait for Irish Fest!!!)

Strangely compelling. I like it. Anyone else seeing the "Stonehenge" scene from This is Spinal Tap?

Try Shooglenifty. Don't know if I've heard them on RP. I first heard them on Brand X internet radio.

I have Afro Celts in my iPod and groove to them when I ski. Imagine hurtling down a black run on Breckenridge's Peak Ten with this booming in your ears. Pure heaven.

Yes, they were massively hyped in many a market. And yes, after a while it all runs together like a fuzzy kilt in your ears. But every now and then, you just gotta tap your Irish-dancer-tippie-toes to some Celtic stomp...
