Synopsis

Album Description

Out of the musical melting pot of New York City comes a group of innovative master musicians who together create a sound that is all their own. Firmly rooted in the music of Ireland, and playing over 20 instruments between them, WHIRLIGIG's vibrant, multi-faceted sound is filled with a wide variety of influences and sounds from other folk and world music traditions. Their dynamic arrangements are infused with flavors from the fields of jazz, rock and classical music.

CD Reviews

Spin- A new generation of Celtic music has arrived

VG | Chappaqua, NY | 05/25/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wonderful! Fantastic! Far above the common run of Celtic music one ordinarily hears! I was so lucky to be given this great CD as a gift. I treasure it."

SPin is spinning in my head!

Ivan G. Salinas | USA | 05/05/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I saw Whirligig last year, and they really impressd me with their innovative use of texture and color. Their sound was a breath of fresh air. Thier two cds, The Wheel and SPIN only enhanced my appreciation of their musical quest. I felt they are both beautifully produced. Their aesthetique is just delicious."

Whirligig- the Celtic band of the future

VG | Chappaqua, NY | 04/26/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have seen Whirligig in concert and they are fantastic. Their first CD, The Wheel, was great, and this new one, Spin, is even better, the sound richer and more layered. They continue to grow as musicians, as does the leader, Greg Anderson, as a producer. They play traditional Celtic, as well as some very interesting and different stuff; they're not just stuck in the "trad" grind."
