Contemporary Celtic instrumentals w/lots of energy & sharp arrangements. This is Flook’s 2nd album, and it demonstrates their skill as performers. Mostly uptempo interplays of whistle, flute, bodhran & guitar. Although only 9 tracks listed on back, there are actually 14 on the CD as songs are broken up into separate sets. Many lead seamlessly into the next track. *1. Fast & crisp w/good work from all 4 members. Goes right into #2...play them together. 3. Very well played set of 3 jigs. *4. Catchy arrangement of 3 dances. 5. Nostalgic & elegant folk song, really lovely. 6. Only .46 long, leads into track #7. *7. A fast, fast dance w/great interplays of flute/whistle/guitar. *8. Trombone and a sweet, happy, dance can go right into #9. 9. Kind of repetitive, but a sound nonetheless. 10. Downtempo, pretty, sad. Can lead into #11. 11. Relaxed & sweet w/a melancholy air. 12. Strings like a Greek folk melody. Into #13. 13. Uptempo, gets almost jazzy. Nicely played. 14. Strong set of three reels. 12/2003 | ||
