Enya May It Be mp3

May It Be posterBun B. Hear has compared writing for Enya’s new album to that on ‘May It Be’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Enya energies, virtually a rebirth. There is so much to love about Enya, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. May It Be and Isobella is really good.

Isobella - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. I like the agression and power of The First Of Autumn. Wild Child I just LOVE this mix! Caribbean Blue is a bit of a show-tune. Book Of Days - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. After Ventus - a classic song. Watermark - This one is lively and fun. Orinoco Flow (4:25) - awsome. The Celts - Enya first major hit. The song Once You Had Gold ending is my favorite… so catchy! Triad St Patrick (Cu Chulainn) Oisin one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard.

Two Horizons by Moya Brennan mp3

Two Horizons postereight years ago, Moya Brennan briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Bright Star”. Since completing 2003’s ‘Show Me’, Moya Brennan fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Lead single “Show Me” and “Bright Star” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Two Horizons touched my soul like nothing else.

Bright Star - I like this one. I love the melodic melody of Change My World and to this day it makes me feel good. First time I heard Bi Liom was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Is It Now (Theme) is another favourite of mine. Falling - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. When I listen to Tara in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Ancient Town - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem.

Tierra De Nadie by Hevia mp3

Tierra De Nadie posterAfter seeing Busindre Reel, I had to have a good Hevia cd. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Hevia on ‘Busindre Reel’. This is one of the best Cd’s Hevia has dropped to date. It is very deep stuff - very exciting

Naves - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Si La Nieve - A strong beat. Gaviotes has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. El Garrotin - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. El Ramu one of the best in my collection.

Local Ground posterThis is the first studio album from Altan since bad diagnosis in 2005. On Local Ground album, Altan have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke . . .’ school of songwriting. It has been twelve years Altan’ last studio CD, “Local Ground” which won Array Academy Awards® and was nominated for album of the year. Smart music for smart people.

When I listen to The Silver Slipper in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. I love the melodic melody of The Wind And Rain and to this day it makes me feel good. The Humours Of Castlefinnia’s Dancean Duidin - A classic Altan track. Blew our minds when we first heard As I Roved Out. Sport - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. The Roseville great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.

The Frog Prince by Enya mp3

The Frog Prince posterWhen you buy a Enya album, you know exactly what you’re getting! There is no doubt that Enya has talent. Self-described as Celtic with lots of words, Enya comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. If I may, I suggest “Enya - The Train To Paris”. That one song is amazing!

Enya - The First Day - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Kurt Weill - Jazz Club - Mack The Knife one is one of the better boring ones. Gilbert Becaud - Jazz Club - Let It Be Me is a bit of a show-tune. Enya - With Jean-Phillipe one of the best in my collection. Enya - Jenny - This one is lively and fun. Enya - Reflections - another great track from the The Frog Prince album. So much energy, so exciting a sound.

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Celtic Woman. This is the first studio album from Celtic Woman since bad diagnosis in 2007. This is my first Celtic Woman Album and i must say i am blown away.

Celtic Woman must have run out of lyrics on the next track The Prayer. Newgrange - To me, this is the best song on the A New Journey. The song Over The Rainbow ending is my favorite… so catchy! Granuaile’s Dance one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. The Blessing (3:51) a good melody. Dulaman - A nice song. I like the agression and power of Beyond The Sea.
