You mean Gaelic isn't a Martian dialect?

I love Gaelic.

ugggggggh

AMEN. Open your ears and your minds fellow RP english-speakers and hear the song of the world. Gaelic is now spoken by only a few thousand native speakers. A wider number of Irish now learn it as a second language. Many of the other strange-sounding languages you hear at RP are or will soon be in similar straits. If we don't sing, hear, and celebrate languages they will vanish. Heartfelt thanks, Bill, for keeping music like this in the playlist. kvmrdj wrote:

Good Mando. GREAT Flute. But no great shakes vocally.

This makes me think of Milla Jovovich in the Fifth Element.

No it's not martian or a turntable in reverse folks, it's the beautiful Gaelic language.

I think she said, "I could die in Escondido."

A catchy little tune, even if sounds like it's sung in Martian.

I love it, but I have a soft spot for all things Irish.

Because the song is "ethnic", I'm not going to rate it super low even though I'm not that impressed. A 6 for now.

Okay, who's the wiseguy that put the turntable on reverse??

Holy smoke - rarely do I hear a song that makes me feel physically ill but I will admit I nearly got to see my lunch twice today after hearing that.

So this is why there's a "sucko-barfo" option in the song-rating category.

Is this the same woman who sang with Ashley MacIsaac? Sounds very similar....

I just can't stand this song!

Does she write W's speeches?

I'm unable to find this song to purchase. An iTunes and an Amazon search find nothing. Suggestions?

...and I still love it... It's exciting to read such different opinions!

Mari wrote: You sound like my Scottish wife! LOL I have this album. It is kind of like listening to Ladysmith Black Mambazo. I can't understand the lyrics (those in Gaelic anyhow), but I like the music anyhow!

Skiddly doo be dum de doo ...

An Irishman finds a magic lantern on the beach. He rubs it and out comes a genie, granting three wishes. "For me first wish, I want a bottomless pint of Guinness," the Irishman says. "Your wish is my command," says the genie and, POOF!, a pint of Guinness appears in the Irishman's hand. He drains the pint, and it magically refills. He drains it again, with the same result. "And for your second wish?" the genie asks. "I'll have another one o' these!" the Irishman says.

Where's Frodo?

Sorry but BOOOOOOOOORING

You know, Shawn Colvin actually DOES sound better being played backwards...

... ... Och Aye, the Gaelic's Grand! ...

The beginning of this song reminds me of a song by Laurie Anderson called Mr. Heartbreak. It's done backwards, I think.

definitely sounds like that satanic backwards masking stuff. evil indeed.

..... No one know who they were, or what they were doing......

Often don't like this Celtic sound, but I like this one. It's a little more complex and has really interesting percussion sounds. Would love to read the English translation of the lyrics. And I'd love to hear more from this band.

Next, when I have a little more time, I will upload the lyrics - including the English translation. Maybe you will feel a little bit more the mystic vibes.

Such a nice sound. Stopped me in my tracks. Reminiscent of the sound of Gjallarhorn's "Sjofn" album.

Her voice unites the traditional with the modern, building bridges between the celtic past and the worldwide spirit of the times, between melancholy and the joy of living. A musical fusion of the senses". Anne Wylie comes from Dublin, the cultural centre and capital city of Ireland. She is well known on the international music scene, as one of Ireland`s finest singers, and enjoys a high profile across Europe where she tours regularly, particularly in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Irish Music Magazine reviewed the first CD "Anne Wylie Live", which she recorded in 1997 with Florian King, Henrik Mumm and Joe McKenna, as follows: "Live is an impressive album. There is no shortage of excellent music here". The CD which followed, "Anne Wylie Band - One and Two" was released in April 2001 and received great reviews in various European magazines. It was CD of the month in "Stereoplay" and Audiofile Highlight in "Stereo". Irish Music Magazine wrote: "Anne is blessed with a beautiful voice and sings in flawless Gaelic. She has an unusually wide vocal range, and her soulful and richly musical voice are a fitting climax to this excellent production".

This is a nice track that's out of the box without being offensive or boring.

I saw her on "Bardentreffen", an annual international music-festival in NÃŒrnberg, Bavaria, Germany. It's freebie and about 3 days; many artists and also listeners are there. They came from all over the country and whole Europe. Since then I am crazy about her music. When I listen to her voice, Henrik's bass line, Florian's irish bouzouki and Helge's percussion, I feel like I'm in an other time and world. Look there: (click here)
