I love the eclectic mix of music here.   Probably wouldn't buy the song, but it adds to the great variety of musical genres represented here.....

What is this — some sort of theme song for a rejected cartoon series?  No thanks.

It's probably a combination of Gaelic, Japanese or Ainu.  They're an Irish band with a Japanese lead singer.  Go figure...

{#Yes} ...definitely recognized the celtic influence but didn't get the time to grasp the irish langage... Shame on me then! (lived there for a while...a few years...) Thanks for this tune anyway, I am rediscovering Kila now...

Yeah, I'm a world music fan, but this doesn't cut it. In this sub-genre, I would rather hear Baka Beyond or Afro Celt Sound System.

For those of you interested, that lovely cover art came from Peig Fairbrooks. The layout was done by Dublin based designer Dara Ní Bheacháin and the photo was taken by Marcelo Biglia - an Argentinian photographer who is now living in Dublin.

The album used some Ainu imagery, too, which I've always rather liked.

The penny whistle, flute and didgeridoo - very cool, but something's just off. Maybe they're trying to do too much at once? Or maybe I'm just too traditional when it comes to Mi Fein. Meh - Erin go braugh!

Reminds me of Dave Matthews voice wise. Maybe if Dave channeled the music of his homeland, maybe more of us would like him.
