Music reviews of O'r Mabinogi
Music Review: Enigma meets Enya!
Rating: 5 Stars
This amazing piece of aural soundscapes, sung in Welsh by the sweet-voiced Renee Grey, never strays far from my CD player. The beautiful other-worldly vocals and synthesizer effects combine with laid-back dance-pop beats, lush orchestration and infectious melodies. Fans of Enigma will find themselves on familiar territory here with the dance themes, and Enya fans will love the vocal performance. Also, the track listing on the CD is different from Amazon.com's version...the actual tracklisting is as follows: 1) Porth Annwyn (The Gates of Annwyn) 2) Yng Ngolau Ddydd (In The Light of the Day) 3) Dial Bendigeidfran (The Revenge of Bendigeidfran) 4) Morwyn Y Blodau (Lady of the Flowers) 5) a. TirGwastraff (The Wasteland) b. Cwynfan Pryderi (Pryderi's Lament) 6) Blwyddyn I Heno (A Year From This Night) 7) Teyrnas Y Ser (In The Realm Of The Summer Stars) 8) Fel Yr Fira (Like The Snow) 9) Rhiannon All the songs have vocals save for "Teyrnas Y Ser". Some also take a while to get going. But that does not detract from the whole experience. There is a lengthy booklet that comes with this CD that explains in detail the myths and background information. For a real treat, read the booklet, put this CD into your player and listen to this CD in the dark under headphones. You won't be sorry.
Description of O'r Mabinogi
Named after the Celtic goddess of inspiration, the duo of Renée Gray and Andrew Fryer that is Ceredwen debuts with a CD that is at once energetic, introspective, and ethereal. Inspired by the mabinogi or oral stories passed down from ancient Celtic tribes, Ceredwen interestingly mesh the modern sounds of keyboards, drum machines, and heavily processed vocals with piano, pennywhistle, and percussion to bring forth a unique, rhythmic brand of Celtic music. Gray sings in Welsh, which gives the songs a timeless flavor, though on some tunes ("Fel Yr Eira" or "Like the Snow") the heavy effects detract from her pretty voice. There are also a few songs that take a little too long in getting going, but overall the album will well please fans of Enigma or modern Celtic music. --Karen KarleskiInternational CDs
