Ok, ACSS sell craploads of boatloads of CDs in their native Celtic regions. And IMO they kick donkey too! :)

I'm not so keen on this album as there are too many guest appearances (though they do owe Peter Gabriel for setting their project up in the first place), but it's still decent enough. Any of the other albums is way better, though.

  Fred, you never fail to catch me off-guard and make me laugh out loud. {#Notworthy}  I really love Afro Celt's music - it puts me in a sort of Zen-space...

I heard a clip of Plant on the Today show yesterday and Kathy Lee asked him if he actual wrote songs. He had a classy reply rather than bonkering her in the forehead

Yes, it is cool to see an older classic rock God not only still be performing, but performing interesting, relevant music! Unlike some other artists - Rolling Stones - Bruce Springsteen - that shall remain unnamed.{#Wink}

Completely agree.  The evolution has been really great... funny to hear the synth stuff from the early/mid 80's, but it's all part of the journey.

Right now, he's probably been in just about the best form he's been in for a long time.  Vocally (thinking Led Zeppelin shrieking Plant) Manic Nirvana might have been his best period for solo stuff...  This Afro Celt stuff is much more where he belongs though.

Even more-so the current stuff he's doing with Allison Krauss is exactly where he is right now.

(although that O2 show was SO, SO, SO HOT that I think he should have given the Zeppelin thing one last go)

I would forgive Robert Plant of almost anything including soddomy against Donkeys.....mmm - he deserves respect up to the point of the donkeys at least.

Robert Plant is definitely one of the coolest "old dudes" alive...it's great he still tries new things, given his level of success.

That said, and although I'm a big fan of theirs with 4 albums, I don't know WTF Robert Plant is doing on their work. He's not only yesterday's man, but his music, good though it is, has zero to do with the kind of fusion music ACSS put out. This collaboration does neither any favours.

Buahaha I came on to say this lead singer sounds like a washed up Robert Plant wannabe. How sad that I was only half right.

You are so, so wrong - ACSS are very big in Scotland these days, and I mean BIG! They regularly headline festivals and sell a sackload of CDs. IMO they're a very good example of the Celtic musical renaissance, fusing traditional Celtic sounds and rhythms with ambient, techno, and of course world music influences (not just Afro but, as you can hear here, Middle Eastern, and many others).

Anyway, 8 for ACSS, knock off 1 for yer man Plant's contribution, so 7 from the Nottingham jury. And a big thank you to RP for playing so much modern Celtic stuff.
