CD Reviews

Absolutely Fantastic Reissue

Mad Mau | Oklahoma City | 02/02/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I waited more than a decade for this Album to be remastered and re-released. The wait was worth it.

This is definitely a clear, crisp, clean presentation of Horslips at their best. This concept album blends Irish mythology with ancient Celtic musical styles to transport the listener to a Medieval setting that conjures up the mist and mire of the bogs and forests of a time long past.

The Album is named for the Lebor Gabála Érenn, a book of Irish mythology known as The Book of Invasions in English. Released in 1976, it is considered by many, myself included, to be the best work of a band who should be regarded as the fathers of Celtic rock for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music.

Every track is wonderful and distinct but all combine a rhythmic charm with vivid lyrics recounting tales of love, unity, power and glory.

If you like Irish Folklore or Celtic music with a lean toward Rock Music, this is a must buy!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

Marvelous
