Does anyone know? Their music certainly in no way sounds Celtic. Please educate me. -------------------- le gach dea-mhéin ~Brian                  Aaediwen  Posted: 06-Oct-2004, 04:09 AM Celtic Guardian Group: Super Moderator Posts: 3,069 Joined: 09-Oct-2003 Zodiac: Holly Realm: Kentucky They may not sound Celtic at first glance, but the roots are there. The subject matter is very Celtic. Cold Glencoe is an extrapolation on "Massacre of Glencoe". "Time and Tide" and "I will Love you Always" tell a heart wrenching story of two lovers pulled away forst by duty then by arranged marrage. Both common stories found in Celtic music and poetry. "The Gallows" tells a story of what has been risked by so many in their fight for freedom. There are other examples as well that I think make Rise a fitting band for Highlander Radio. They retell some of the same stories as in the traditional songs, but in a completely new way. -------------------- Poet and seeker of knowledge                  Mailagnas maqqas Dunaidonas  Posted: 06-Oct-2004, 10:02 AM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 911 Joined: 18-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Oak For more on the Celtic nature of Rise, the review at Celtic Cafe Review is worth a look.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I just don't care for their music.

Rise is one of my favorites, while I can't stand much of the current more popular music.                 CelticRadio  Posted: 07-Nov-2004, 06:20 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Administrator Posts: 9,757 Joined: 23-Sep-2001 Zodiac: Oak Realm: Toronto, CAN Medieval Kingdom Rank #74 252,893 Gold!

I just love them. A few weeks ago I caught a whole album of them on Highlander Radio, and I was so struck with it all (even their cover of "Imagine," which I would't have said would be any strong way to end the CD, but there it is.) I guess the cut that stands out is Cold Glencoe, since it's more traditional even though it's original. The arrangement is impressive, but it's the song itself that just puts the chill right up your back. As many ballads and performances as you've heard about the incident, none of them attempt the point of view this one does. Just sung bare naked with only the bodhran it would come over as stunning. Well. Yes. I guess I am a fan.                 Mailagnas maqqas Dunaidonas  Posted: 08-Nov-2004, 04:06 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 911 Joined: 18-Nov-2003 Zodiac: Oak I ordered their most recent as soon as I heard a song from it here on Highlander Radio. A very personable group, who send out occasional emails to their listeners.                 Sekhmet  Posted: 08-Nov-2004, 07:25 PM Celtic Guardian Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 898 Joined: 08-Sep-2004 Zodiac: Alder Realm: Pittsburgh-ish, Pennsylvania This apparently is where everyone's gonna start throwing tomatoes at me... I am *not* a fan of Rise. I just don't like the sound of their singer's voice, and a lot of their music sounds...well, unpolished to me. Hey, that's just me. Hasn't induced me to turn off this station to date.                 Redbud  Posted: 11-Nov-2004, 03:36 PM Peasant Group: Celtic Nation Posts: 17 Joined: 28-Jun-2003 Zodiac: Birch Realm: North Texas I find their music very engaging, but I am an unabashedly fanatical fan of Scottish folk, especially revival folk.

Listened to a couple of songs today over at Aaediwen's that I had heard before but when he played them back-to-back revealed a very sad story...I have to say, what a group!!! -------------------- Haldr, Traveller of the Great Forest "After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done." - Unknown                  1 User(s) are reading this topic (1 Guests and 0 Anonymous Users) 0 Members: « Next Oldest | Featured Artists | Next Newest » Pages: (2) [1] 2   Fast Reply Show Smilies Pop Up Window |  Enable Smilies |  Enable Signature       Close Topic Options Track this topic Receive email notification when a reply has been made to this topic and you are not active on the board.
