Music reviews of Otherworld
Music Review: Simply the best collection of instrumental Irish music ever...
Rating: 5 Stars
...only rivaled by Lunasa's "Merry Sisters of Fate".
I heard them live in 1999 and never looked back. On stage they are simply incredible, so much energy and just love to play music. I immediately bought the "Otherworld" CD and found it to have the same intensity and energy as shown in their live performance. I was fortunate enought to see them live and talk to Donogh before he left the band. Surprisingly, the latest album, Se, as kept up with the rest, even with the change in membership!
As a then first-time Irish music listener, this CD brought the whole Irish music to me in one instance. I love this band and all that they bring. I now celebrate their entire collection - if you have any desire to listen or even learn about Irish music, start here with this band.
I'd say get this album or Merry Sisters first; you'll be hooked after that!
Description of Otherworld
Taking their name from an ancient Celtic harvest festival, L?nasa are a veritable dream team of Irish musicians whose thrilling groove is found courtesy of former members of the Waterboys and Sharon Shannon's band, on cello, bowed upright bass, and acoustic guitar. Melodies, both poignant and frolicsome, soar on the exceptional wings of fiddle, flute, whistles, and Uilleann pipes. From the warm belly of Celtic tradition, the quartet (rounded out by guest players and piper-whistler Cillian Vallely, a touring member) radiates outward, incorporating elements of jazz improvisation as it swings low and wide, high and tight, delving wholeheartedly into each piece's unique rhythmic pulse. Otherworld, in the unprecedented vernacular of L?nasa, is nothing short of astonishing. --Paige La GroneGeneral CDs
