This just cries for jigs and reels.......2005-04-28

Women of the World: Celtic II is quite an excellent CD, filled with techno mixed and modernized music of the Celtic peoples. This CD provides great examples of the wonderful music played by the Celts. Being part Scotts and English, I was quite interested in this style of music to begin with, and I am not dissapointed at all with this CD. I, however, don't recommend this CD to people who aren't fans of this style! If you don't like Celtic music to begin with, then I doubt you'll be interested in this, and the 30 second demos do this CD no justice. Natalie MacMaster's "The Drunken Piper", while as I could see had no piping in it, had excellent fiddling and is a great way to open up the CD. Over all, this CD totally deserves a 5/5, if not more!

AWESOME CD!.......2003-08-12

This is one of the best Irish music cd Ive heard! I usually dont like Irish vocals as much as the dance music, but most of the songs on here are awesome, and so much fun to listen to!

great CD.......2003-04-13

It is rare that you find all celtic songs in one album that are each excellent in their own right. I highly recommend this.

Not for me.......2002-10-27

Maybe it's too Scottish for me. These voices seem
weak and uninteresting to me, compared to Connie
Dover, who I love. I find the long musical repetitions
too long, although I usually love that feature of Irish
music. I liked 'Black is the Colour", Ta Se Na La (
though it's too long) and "It Ain't Funny" - love the
instrumental finish to that one. I find practically none
of the haunting or lilting beauty I expected.

One of my all-time favourite CDs.......2002-09-12

I was given a copy of this CD several years ago and it instantly became my favourite cd--it far outstrips the original Celtic Women of the World collection. A wide range of styles are represented, from traditional gaelic to folk, and even though my gaelic isn't strong enough to interpret the all gaelic selections, I appreciate them for their oftentimes haunting beaty. The collection is a treat to listen to, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I particularly enjoyed the renditions of Sovay and Black is the Colour--both very different from traditional arrangements.
