| Description: | Irish New Age album, with support from orchestra and London choir. Celtic tiger, the title song is a string orchestral piece accompanied by choir. The second track 'Bodhran electro' kicks off with Irish bodhran and flamenco foot taps, later to be accompanied by the synthesiser that imparts a true ethnic feel. C2 Concertina and C1 Irish flute - are arrangements for Irish set dance with choir support in the background. C3 - Bagpipe ole St Patrick, a melody on Bagpipe, is dedicated to St Patrick, the Patron saint of Ireland. 'Celtic mute', a composition for the historic instrument, has a medieval feel. Hungarian Celtic, is a composition for the Celtic harp. Romance in E minor is a haunting melody where the composer makes liberal use of celtic wind instruments backed by the seductive choir. The final number 'Pathos sonic -Rainy day in Ireland' as its name implies, depicts a 'soft day', an Irish saying for a rainy day in Ireland. REVIEWS ˜A. George's "Celtic Tiger" is another electronic marvel - but moving away from the dance beats of his other offering, George dives into mixing electronica with traditional folk sounds of Irish music. The resulting music is disarming and curious. "Pathos Sonic - Rainy Day in Ireland", is both a movie soundtrack bed along with native Irish lines - same goes for "C4 - Romance in E Minor" and "C3 - Bagpipe ole St. Patrick". The title track, "Celtic Tiger", is haunting - violin patches and what sound like kinetic acoustic violin performances, cello support, and dissonant choral voices, colour the track dark and perplexing - but compelling musically. Well done.' Earbuzz, USA. ".Magnificent album .orchestral pieces, bagpipes, electro kicks, harp, wind instruments, flamenco foot taps" World Music Trax. | |
