I seem to say this a lot, but I don't understand why listeners need to post about how much they hate a particular song or musician. That is what the PSD button is for. Telling me you think this or that song is pretentious crap, or that you think it sucks, is boring and lazy and adds nothing to the conversation. If you don't like this party, go sulk in the other room.



Yeah cos this is the best sounding elevator muzak I have never heard!

I worked with a band in Scotland, Salsa Celtica, who mixed Celtic music with Brazilan among other influences, a great musical marriage .



Wow, now that sounds like a fun combination, furshur! This tune is fantastic too!

Yow, I can't stand this tune, but the segue from Low Spark of High Heeled Boys to this was a brilliant move.

This track (Green from the album Seed) also could have been used yesterday around 4:20 - maybe next year {#Propeller}

Not sure if this sound like a video game soundtrack, or a tacky porn soundtrack.. Seems like it would be a good driving tune though!

So cool - seamless segues that make RP such an enchantment: Traffic's Low Spark of High Heeled Boys to Afrocelts' Green.

It is either very late, or very early here, depending on one's point of view, and this is the perfect music for me at this moment.

This sounds like a Talking Heads song without the vocals...and I don't like it.

This is really, really terrible. It sounds like the background music to a radio ad for a trendy fitness club that specializes in helping losers get in slightly better shape.

The first couple of Afro Celt albums were ok. The problem is now that everything they release sounds rehashed. It's hard to tell the songs apart after a bit.

I'm pretty sure this is an instrumental version of a track with a guy singing. Without the vocals it's just muzak.
You're right. This track is titled "Green Instrumental". Not sure why the "Instrumental" part was left off on RP. I can HEAR the vocals. "Green" (not the instrumental) must be on another CD. Folks here are sure hard on this group. I only WISH I could play pennywhistle half that well!!

Humm humm... How dare you rate it 7 ??? No real melody, poom-poom drums... just remember this music was just made to bring money to ungifted would-be-artists... Seven year old irish children do better!!! But the quality of the sound is, as usual, great.

Well, technically speaking, Afro and Celt are both ethnic/racial/cultural groups, so I guess any name that refers to a race or nationality could be used in a racist way...... But yeah, I don't think too many folks are losing sleep over this one.
Posted 18 years ago by Zweiblumen    [ Reply ]
not to beat a dead horse or anything, but... man, RP can really seem like AfroCelt Radio sometimes. a little less of this fluff would do wonders for the playlist.

Far too many people get worked up about 'isms where there is none. Black people are, women are not men; there is nothing wrong with this, it is fact. The problems begin when you needlessly or incorrectly give someone a hard time over their colour, sexual preference, country of origin etc. As for the song, I'm with you on that too, nice stuff, will have to get the album.

I really don't like this track too much it is borderline commercial ambient music, now there is a part that reminds me of a Talking Heads song.."There was a plan, there was a formula"....
