Our Take

In the latest compilation album, "Beauty An Oileain - Music And Song Of The Blasket Islands," Various Artists transport listeners to the remote, windswept shores of the Blasket Islands off the coast of Ireland. With a mix of traditional Irish music and hauntingly beautiful folk melodies, this album is a true hidden gem in the world of music.

From the moment you press play, you are whisked away on a mesmerising journey through time and space, as the music transports you to a place where ancient traditions and modern sounds collide. Each track on this album is a work of art in its own right, from the soulful vocals to the intricate instrumental arrangements.

One standout track is "An Cailin Aerach," a lively tune that captures the spirit of the islands with its infectious energy and toe-tapping rhythm. Another highlight is "Amhran An Bhail O Thuaidh," a haunting ballad that showcases the raw beauty of the landscape through its haunting melodies and poignant lyrics.

Overall, "Beauty An Oileain - Music And Song Of The Blasket Islands" is a must-listen for anyone looking to escape the mundane and embark on a musical adventure like no other. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let the music of the Blasket Islands wash over you like a mesmerising tidal wave of sound. Trust us, you won't regret it.
