The cover of the CD says it all. This 1998 release finds the perfect balance between the acoustic and electric worlds. Although the songs are rooted in traditional Irish, and Folk music, it leaves room for many other areas. The string and vocal arrangements are stellar! The vocal melodies and harmonies transport the listener to another place and time. This CD has a very magical affect on the listener. Never monotonous, amd solid from start to finish. Fans of David's other moody, synth heavy releases will be pleseantly suprised by this one. Although much different than his previous efforts, it will compliment your collection. Definetly one of his best works!
