Isn't that a lot of power for mere ben wah balls, MisterF? AA batteries might be a lot more convenient. I suppose we should thank Loreena for keeping you from harshing Mom's vibe...  4 out of 5 mothers prefer them to furry dice on the rearview! |

Even though I do enjoy her music, I have to agree, she can get boring if listening to a whole CD of her.

Reminds me a bit about ENYA but maybe not as fully flavoured, maybe more subtle or more boring

As for this Loreena McKennit piece, uhh, it's derivative of something. The melody is from somewhere else. I'm getting brain frazzle trying to conjure where I've heard it before, like a name or fact that buzzes maddeningly just beyond one's ability to identify it. Surely someone else here has noticed this; what the hell is it? I think it's a lot like "Prologue" from her Live in Paris and Toronto album. |

She uses Celtic instruments and cultural inspiration from her Celtic background.
Up here in Canada, Celtic music and culture is a strong part of our heritage.
Many of us are descended from the Scottish and Irish.
And the English, Welsh and French, all of whom have Celts in their territories to this day in Europe and here in Canada. |

I see many RP listeners referring to "these albums". I guess the audience is a mature one for the most part.
I like Loreena quite a bit. A really great sound.

Way too true. If you want to be disillusioned with the current state of humanity just read the comment sections below any CNN story. What a waste of bandwidth just to give so many effin trolls an outlet. |
