"Peadar, son of the great Sean O'Riada, directs the famous Cul Aodh choir in the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region) of West Cork. This album will appeal to you if you like honesty and intelligence in Irish traditional music. He takes everything from kids messing around on the piano to birdsong to the Cul Aodh choir and creates an album that has great freshness and atmosphere. Yet the songs themselves may be familiar to those who know the work of Iarla O'Lionaird (Afro-Celt Sound System), old Irish tunes given oxygen. Well worth a listen when in a contemplative mood with a fresh breeze coming in the window."
