Branching out.......2004-09-07

How you compare Jealousy with The New Land depends on your perspective. (I own both). The New Land is definitely more traditional, but there are scores of very good traditional Irish bands, so here Touchstone is trying to do something different. Of the 2, I like Jealousy better for a few reasons: 1) Production is a little better, better sound. 2) If this can be said to use the same "formula" as The New Land, it seems to be more refined. 3) New twists like Faoilean and White Snow - these foreshadow Triona's Nightnoise music, but without the New Age oversmoothness. 4) The addition of fiddler Skip Parente adds a lot. The one tune that seems out of place is the title track, which sounds like it was meant to be the "hit single" of the recording, but otherwise this is a strong outing. Another CD on the same lines would be Thunderhead by Dalglish and Larsen, on which Triona guests.

Not quite up to the standards of the debut.......2000-01-07

Adequate, but ultimately somewhat disappointing follow-up to the glorious debut "The New Land," Touchstone's second, and final, efforts suggests that the band may have run out of steam and ideas a little too quickly. Everything here is quite enjoyable, but if you are interested in this band, get "The New Land," first.
