spongerman1 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hi I remember a long time ago there was a celtic music thread with some good suggestions of what albums to check out. Can we do that again? I know one good one is Lifescapes - Relaxing Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doulifée Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Celtic Circle. 3 albums. a gathering of a lot of celtic music. check and listen, see what you like and look for album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mage Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Depends of if you are wanting like Irish Traditional Music (ITM), or something more contemporary. For trad, The Chieftains are always a great choice. Sligo Rags likes to mix ITM with American Bluegrass, so you have elements from both sides of the Pond. If you're looking for something more contemporary, I'd suggest groups like MacTalla Mo'r, Needfire, Loreena McKennitt, The Elders, Runrig or Altan. Want Celtic Punk? Flogging Molly is okay, but I preferred Amadan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollgagh Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 If you want traditional Celtic, then go for Capercaillie. If you want a fusion of Celtic, electronic and African, then go for Afro Celt Sound System. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoForte Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 FF: Crystal Chronicles had many celtic/celtic-like tracks on its OST. worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abadoss Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Iona (my all-time favorite band), Clannad (for more traditional stuff), Wolfstone (80's style power rock mixed with Celtic), Paddyrasta (Celtic/Reggae ), and all the stuff already mentioned...

RealFolkBlues Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Everything by Lunasa, particularly their self-titled first album. Beautiful. My home-girl who turned me on to them is on her honeymoon, otherwise I would get some more suggestions from her real quick. Stay posted.

Geoffrey Taucer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Wolfstone Oh, man, looked these guys up after you mentioned them, and they're great! Looks like I'm gonna have to buy all their CDs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Mage Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Great Big Sea FUCK YEAH! Didn't know anyone else here enjoyed GBS or Canadian Folk Rock, GT. For more Canadian Celtic/Folk goodness, I'd suggest Glengarry Bhoys. Also, check out Xenogears: Creid...Xenogears + Celtic Music = Teh Awesome.

Kureejii Lea Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Great Big Sea Ah, I remember someone going on a rant at how inconsiderate the band was to call themselves Great Big C, as (to them) the Big C meant cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
