      This
      CD
      could
      be
      seen
      from
      two
      angles—
      either
      as
      a
     
     
      way
      to
      easily
      sell
      a
      lot
      of
      units
      by
      name
      alone
      (since
      this
      is
      not
     
     
      in
      fact
      a
      soundtrack
      to
      any
      movie),
      or
      as
      an
      interesting
      mixture
     
     
      of
      sounds
      and
      styles
      that
      closely
      resembles
      the
      original
      sound-
     
     
      track
      to
      the
      movie.
     
    

    
     
      Fans
      of
      the
      first
      CD
      will
      not
      be
      disappointed—
      there
      are
     
     
      the
      requisite
      high-energy
      techno
      trecks
      (from
      Psykosonic
      and
     
     
      Alien
      Factory),
      the
      hard/heavy
      metal
      tracks
      (from
      Sepultura
     
     
      and
      Crawlspace),
      the
      tracks
      that
      seem
      to
      try
      to
      sound
      like
      a
     
     
      combination
      of
      311
      and
      Gravity
      Kills
      (from
      God
      Lives
      Under-
     
     
      water
      and
      ),
      and
      surprising
      tracks
      from
      semi-well
      known
      artists
     
     
      (like
      what
      is
      Babylon
      Zoo
      doing
      on
      this
      CD?).
      The
      most
     
     
      interesting
      tracks
      on
      this
      CD,
      however,
      are
      those
      that
      try
      to
     
     
      bridge
      the
      gap
      between
      metal
      and
      dance,
      resulting
      in
      a
      sort
      of
     
     
      hard-core
      techno
      that
      makes
      this
      CD
      listenable,
      but
      not
      com-
     
     
      pletely
      enjoyable.
      If
      you’
      re
      a
      fan
      of
      the
      original
      soundtrack,
      this
     
     
      is
      definitely
      your
      type
      of
      CD.

      This

      release

      was

      to
      promote
      tra-
     
     
      ditional
      Celtic
      music.
      It
      is
     
     
      apleasant
      collection
      of
      love
     
     
      songs,
      dance
      songs
      and
     
     
      ballads
      --
      all
      in
      the
      Gaelic
     
     
      language.
      At
      first,
      I
     
     
      thought
      this
      would
      just
      be
     
     
      a
      simple
      presentation
      of
     
     
      traditional
      music,
      but
      Mary
     
     
      Jane
      Lamond
      surprised
      me
     
     
      by
      going
      all
      out
      with
      amaz-
     
     
      ing
      harmonies
      and
      arrange-
     
     
      ments.
     
    

    
     
      The
      CD
      begins
      with
     
     
      a
      spinning
      song
      “Oran
     
     
      Snimoh.”
      The
      steady
      beat
     
     
      of
      a
      spinning
      wheel,
      heard
     
     
      throughout
      the
      song,
     
     
      prompted
      mental
      images
     
     
      of
      women
      in
      old
      settle-
     
     
      ments
      spinning
      wool
      and
     
     
      singing.
      The
      arrangement
     
     
      for
      this
      song
      is
      relatively
     
     
      simpleand
      very
      traditional.
     
     
      Lamond
      also
      uses
      more
     
     
      modern
      arrangements
      as
     
     
      in
      “Boga’
      Lochain”
      which
     
     
      has
      a
      modern
      Rawlins
     
     
      Cross
      flavour.
      I
      was
      in-
     
     
      spired
      to
      break
      out
      my
     
     
      stepping
      shoes
      and
      dance
     
     
      along
      with
      “Horo
      Ghoid
     
     
      Thu
      Nighean’’,
      but,
      since
      I
     
     
      had
      none,
      I
      just
      tapped
     
     
      along
      to
      its
      energetic
     
     
      rhythm
      and
      happy
      feel.
     
    

    
     
      After
      listening
      to
     
     
      Suas
      e!,
      I
      really
      wished
     
     
      that
      I
      had
      taken
      some
     
     
      Gaelic
      lessons.
      The
      music
     
     
      was
      great
      and
      the
      lyrics
     
     
      sounded
      beautiful,
      but
      I
     
     
      wish
      I
      knew
      what
      she
      was
     
     
      saying!
      This
      is
      one
      of
      the
     
     
      finest
      traditional
      music
     
     
      CD’s
      I
      have
      ever
      heard;
     
     
      for
      that
      I
      give
