Celtic Collection

Celtic Collection is a masterclass in atmosphere, capturing the specific point where traditional Irish folk music was transformed by the arrival of ambient synthesizers. The album sounds like a landscape viewed through a heavy morning mist: shapes are blurred, colors are muted, and everything feels ancient yet strangely futuristic. The core of the experience is the vocal work of Moya Brennan and her family, whose harmonies are so tightly knit they function more like a single, multi-tonal instrument than a choir. These voices are often treated with massive amounts of reverb, making them feel as though they are emanating from the very stones of a Donegal hillside.
