About time...though Otherworld was even better than their live album.

Is it just me or does the audio stream from their more recent of the two concerts only come out of one channel?? (left in my case) The right may be there, bit it si SUPER faint. Everything else works fine as far as other streams from the web and CDs and such. I haven't changed any settings...just curious

Who's their new distributor, anyway?

Great news! We're going to see them on March 18th. I hope they're not hung over.
Concerning live recordings, what lacks in sonic quality is often times made up in enthusiasm. BTW, I saw them this summer in a tent and it was one of the greatest live shows I've ever seen. Trevor's bass was a little too distorted but it didn't really take anything away from the performance.
The thing from the article that does concern me, however, is this line:

"Band introductions, stage patter, and crowd clapping were removed out of concern that Irish radio might be put off by them."

I'm not sure how they could do this without some sort of digital workstation processing, which is never good for the sound of a recording.

You're correct, this is always like this , i've downloaded it several times but i's always the same. The other concert is OK though.

So, I can't be the first one on the board to have a copy, can I?

Great stuff. Not quite as good as the first two, definitely better than Redwood. Lots of whistle. (mostly or all C and F, BTW, to follow up on bits of another thread from last month.)

got my copy yesterday in the mail, love it...some really great stuff, there's whistle piece that flook plays too, I'd be hard pressed to decide on which version I prefer...

Lunasa is coming to Springfield, OH to the Kuss Performing Arts center this month. I can hardly wait! I have been looking forward to this for months. I know there are a lot of Dervish fans on the board, but frankly I was a little disappointed when I went to a concert last spring. Everything sounded the same to me. I am hoping that Lunasa is more entertaining.

Hmmm...on the Barnes and Noble website, they list the musicians on the CD and the instruments they play. Kevin Crawford, Sean Smyth, and Cillian Vallely are all listed as playing the "Human Whistle." Is there a new maker out there??

The web page is on crack.

There is no "human" whistling on the album at all, as credited, and I certainly haven't heard any in repeated listens. There is a good bit of F whistle and one track which is a C whistle solo, and that's it.

Only whistle makers credited are Mike Grinter and Phil Hardy.

I was kidding about that, you know.

Grrrrrr!

Compass seems to have a fault with it's online order system.
It keeps flipping me back to payment details.

Amazon sent me an email
