Summary: Probably going to be the only one to slam this...
Comment: I am absolutely amazed at the high reviews this CD got, when in my opinion it isn't good at all. I bought this at a thrift shop hoping for a good Celtic CD, well definitely not what I got. The first two or three tracks were great, I mean you could definitely feel the Celtic influence in the drums and the violin river dancing sort music. When it started going up in the tracks, the whole Celtic influence disappeared altogether in my opinion. It became western guitar music with Texan sort singing. I am not understanding how the coffee shop, western guitar mixed music is Celtic in any way. LAter on there is also some piano music involved. I am not saying the tracks themselves are bad, but I really feel that this CD mistitled beyond belief. If you even listen to the lyrics most are not at all influenced by the Celtic culture. I am not at all claiming to be an expert, but hearing Celtic sort songs in Irish movies and various CDs this just kind of doesn't do it for me.

Summary: Editorial Review
Comment: "The success of the New Age compilation Pure Moods in early 1997 led to the release of Celtic Moods later in the year. Like its predecessor, Celtic Moods is essentially a New Age collection -- here, Celtic is code for mystic. A few songs, such as the Waterboys' 'Strange Boat,' adhere to the earthy spirit of Irish folk, but much of the music -- including cuts by Clannad, Loreena McKennitt, Ashley MacIsaac, Sharon Shannon, Mary Black, Altan, Christy Moore and the Edge & Sinead O'Connor -- is atmospheric and ambient, evoking the mystical elements of Celtic music. In other words, if you're looking for true Irish folk, go elsewhere -- the [sic--this?] is New Age music with vaguely Celtic overtones, and if you are a fan of that style, there's no better compilation available than Celtic Moods. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide"

Summary: Celtic Moods is a good CD.
Comment: Celtic Moods is a really good CD. I like it alot. But then again I like anything IRISH. I've lost this CD a few times over the years and this is probably the 3rd time I had to buy the CD and I have no regrets. My favorite song on the CD is probably Ashley MacIsaacs Sleepy Maggie. Awesome song.

Summary: Good CD to add to your Celtic Music Collection
Comment: I have this CD, and enjoy it everytime I get the change to hear it. I am a huge fan of Celtic music, and this is a perfect CD to add your Celtic music library. This is an album that all Celtic music fans should have. Other Celtic albums you should try out are : Scottish Moods, the Christian "Eden's Bridge" collection, and the Celtic music from Lifescapes at Target.
