Album Description
This 13-song debut release combines Irish/Scottish melodies with Eastern rhythms. The result is a fresh, modern musical approach that extends beyond traditional Celtic music. The CD contains original compositions and contemporary arrangements of traditional tunes and sets played using both electric (bass, guitar, keys) and acoustic instruments (flute, tin whistle, accordion, piano, guitar, tablas, bodhran, fiddle, drums, uilleann pipes) . . . plus a few surprises.

 saccharine July 14, 2006

The instrumentals on this cd are okay, but the vocals are just sickeningly sweet. I listened to the cd twice because I wanted to like it based on all of the glowing reviews it has gotten. The vocals, especially on Braes O' Strathblane, were so saccharine, I had to turn it off. Throwing in a few scottish pronunciations done in an American accent just made it worse. I regret I wasted my money on this treacle.

I bought this CD a little over a year ago, and I still listen to it several times a week. It almost sounds better each time I listen to it. I love the mix of traditional irish melodies with new instruments and with other genres of music. I've been listening to some of the free downloads, and am hoping Green Man will make another CD!

You will find that this is an amazing mix of celtic music with guitars and drums. A beautiful blend of traditional and non traditional which spices each and every song in this album. Soothing vocals adds to the already impressive sounds. They are definetely NOT a one hit wonder. A wonderful CD that I recommend to anyone that wants to go from the Orchestra to the EDGE!
