“Ancient traditions meet modern technology.” Yup, that about sums it up. A typically solid release from Putumayo, featuring a mix of established performers (Capercaillie, Sinead O’Connor) and newcomers (Cara Dillon, Gwenno). Good notes give lots of useful info on artists & songs.
1. Sleepy fem vox. Relaxed modern Celtic ballad.
*2. Clear fem vox, mid. Gets into a cool groove.
3. Mid, male vox. w/an electronic sing-along feel.
4. Irish flute over a relaxed electronic bed. Cool.
5. Sweet fem vox, a sad Welsh ballad. Pretty.
*6. Slow, sad story song w/good male vox.
7. Midtempo modern folk w/fem vox.
8. Kinda new-agey midtempo instrumental track.
*9. Sweet folk love song. Midtempo.
10. Midtempo electronica backs this Celtic dance.
