I had to check to make sure... Yep, that's Caroline Lavelle singing, all right. My tolerance for new-agey music (or new agey-anything) is, generally speaking, middling-low -- except when it's really good, and her first album, Spirit , is an excellent example of something that caught me quite by surprise. This is not a bad version. Good segue into Sinéad O'Connor, too.

The site revamp chopped my disapproval of this train wreck under another identity, but I had to come back - for pity's sake find a version of this great old song by someone who hasn't sucked all the feeling out of it and then abandoned it by the roadside. Knowing how well this is done by practically everyone else who has attempted it is a good reason for having minus scores available, so I can give it a -10. Bin it. Now.

Augh, this is a great tune, butchered by the most monotonous rendering ever. Please let this end.

Anyone know if Dead Can Dance did this one as well? As someone said below, sounds like Cowboy Junkies. Decent tune. :)

Cool - very Dub-Narcotic-Sound-System-ish. (Which is good, if you like that sort of thing.) Verycool, as opposed to Sinead\'s version of \"I Am Stretched On Your Grave\" which is kinda searing. (Which is also good, if you like that sort of thing.) If The Pogues could fuse Celtic traditions with punk, no reason someone else can\'t fuse Celtic traditions with techno.

Well let's see, the melody for She Moved Through the Fair is over 100 years old. How old is Belfast Child? When the bass line started at the beginning of this song, I had to switch over and see who was laying down the funky beat. I thought something must be wrong when I read the song title. This is surely the most interesting version of this song of the many I have heard before. It doesn't sound "Celtic" here.

An old Irish folk song. That poor girl has been moving through the Fair for a long time now...

Well, sympathetic, at least, that someone took the effort, to update this classic.

Shweet version! I have only ever heard the Simon & Garfunkel version and I definitely DIG this updated, \"younger\" version of such an old song. I just love these gems that RadioParadise provides for me. Thanks!
