I get a "Where the Streets Have No Name "vibe from this song.

8 years later - still cannot sit still to this! Bloomin marvellous.
I swear this is from The Young Guns soundtrack?
Bloody Outstanding..!!! More please..

I agree. For me, those listed are not my taste, so for me it is possible to go wrong with them. Bring on the different inventive stuff!
If you're seated I dare you not to toe-tap to this song.

C'mon I dare you!  

Hah!  I knew you would.
Saw them live in 1999 at Pinkpop, at a stage inside a tent. I didn't know them at the time. Cannot overstate what an amazing party the whole performance was. One of the most memorable ones at the festival that year. If it wasn't a tent, they would've blown the roof off.
This song takes me back to all that happiness and energy. Love it.
Every company annual sales conference video presentation you have ever been to.

Ever?  The stupidest thing...Ever?  I'd suggest a  new reading list that begins with some of the absolute batshit crazy "science" that climate change deniers spout.  Then move on a treatise on trickle down economics.  And for a real mind numbing, sample some flat-earther nonsense...

Some guy's opinion about what music is being played doesn't even touch the levels of complete and utter human imbecility that exist and is quickly becoming more normalized everyday...so just whoa up on the hyperbole a bit there..

Sad news. Simon Emmerson, founder of ACSS, died last month: https://worldmusiccentral.org/...

All Afrocelt fans, including me, owe him a debt of gratitude, and will remember him fondly. As the chant says, may the black deer be with you.

I appreciate reading your stories, even your bad experiences, that are attached to or inspired by a particular track, or about how music can lead us to different places, how one track can connect to another,  or even simply that you freakin' love Coldplay, and why. But, seriously, dude, I don't care who you hate. If that's all you got, if the variety here on RP is not enough, or not to your liking then go somewhere else. There is a universe of music steaming out of your speakers. Go find something that fills your soul.



Now that is a lengthy comment.
Reminds me of that movie.

I enjoyed that…
If I hear one more bloody penny whistle...........

instant tranquility 
Then all the sudden it started to ROCK like ACSS. Very nice.

Jeez, I am getting so fed up with penny whistles.

Thanks for the advice. I was listening to this on a low volume and I realized that at the moment I have the house to myself and turned the speakers up. This is very nice to listen to with good speakers and some volume!

Extended? This song comes in at 10:30, that's average for me, not extended.

Some take the express lane, some take the scenic route, but we all gotta' make that trip...

Surprised to see this comment was made post Trump.
They were superb in their original incarnation including McNally, Emmerson and O Lionaird by the way - you really had to see them live to appreciate the talent ...

Bumped from a 5 to a 7. Must have been having a bad day back then.

No, we can't go wrong with the Stones, the Allmans, etc.  Except with those cuts that former commercial radio listeners have each been forced to hear about 7,499 times.

I call that progress. As for me, at least, this IS a classic deep cut, in large part because it's positive and upbeat, it's fun open road driving music, and it's not Rocket Piano Man's Bennie Jet Space Oddity Stairway to Heaven.  {#Yes}

Thought that was Annie Lennox singing when it was infact Sinead, and now guessing that's the Edge from U2 strumming away so probably wrong there as well. Enjoying this alot.

Yeah, a definite pavement pounder. 8 to 9

I just bumped by 7 to an 8, this tune really starts cranking in the 2nd half of the 10+mins - and my thoughts are the track name "Mojave" is kinda funny cuz I'm thinking Arctic (i.e. it sounds like the Titanic music to me.)

Long Live RP!

Unfamiliar feeling, but I am here.
Almost pleasant to listen to. Can hear the Celt but can't tell if he has an Afro

Mojave? 10:36 minutes? 6.8 rating? Confused!
repetitive but growing on me. Moved from 4 to 6.

I'm thinking that, along with programming, and other such activities, about the only thing this track is good for ... or maybe trippin' on acid.
But 10 minutes of droning is too much for anything else. Thankful for PSD.

Iarla O'Lionaird's voice is interesting, but then, I enjoy ACSS, and don't feel it has aged negatively in any way. Dancing....
bored of it now!!!  lol!

I used to really dig this kind of stuff in the 90's, I thought it was cool.
Little did I know how thin it would sound this many years later. Meh. 
Apparently there are many people posting comments here who love to see their complaining demeanor in writing. These same people are as untasteful as they say this song is.

Yup, still a 1.
Monotony defined!
mo·not·o·ny
məˈnätn-ē/
noun
 
lack of variety and interest; tedious repetition and routine.

Endless monotony even worse! Make it stop!
Repetitive. A little corny. Good theme music for the Hobbits to have a cinema dance off with the Ewoks. 
But I like it anyway. Thom Yorke isn't droning and Arcade Fire isn't drowning in its robodrumming.

Enough already. Make it stop.
Even Enya hates it.
Not for me at all, find it really boring
 I like these guys when I first heard them on RP, now not so much so.
 everything sounds a bit the same.

 played alot here.

Great tunes in this.  Anyone know where I can find it?

Saw these guys perform this infront of a group of unbelievers (Thomas Covenant take note!) and they converted them by the middle of this track.

A seething mass of humanity swaying, baying, hooting, all having a great time. Hypnotised.

A great performance.


Song started off as a "4" but steadily increased to a "6," ending up at solid "7"...thanks again Bill for playing such a wide range of tunes
