Not really. It's great music. Youveva few bangers in there. I'm no expert on what is fashionable or part of the vibe today, but it seems fresh to me.

Some great harmonies here - loads of open sounds. Touch of Free Design, should be way better known...

These are the powerful voices of M'ANAM, part of the ANÚNA Collective alongside Systir and ANÚNA itself, singers brought together with a vision that binds them across the world. Soloist is Noah Thys in his own arrangement of the 12th century poem by Hildegard of Bingen "O Frondes Virga". M'ANAM

Not arranged by Michael - composed for us by him in 1997, so not Traditional Irish either. Ah well... great performance by Spokanki!

Sorry Paul - this is not Traditional anything - it was composed by Michael McGlynn for ourselves and Spokanki are, well, Russian, so not really that Celtic :-)

Haha! Thanks. It is getting a bit of attention recently and always great to see it still has a bit of a kick.

I listened to so much of Anúna's music. And I remain tickled at the places I keep seeing Michael McGlynn and his work (and in this case, his daughter Lauren!) turn up. Bayonetta? Why the heck not! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktvg...
