Listening to Loreena McKennitt and her breathy, electronically enhanced 'Celtic elevator music' is like eating cotton candy....it is not unpleasant, but there is nothing there...and I cannot understand one word out of four without them printed in front of me.

I don't know, Alice, I think it is just one more attempt to evoke emotion in listeners without actually involving them or saying much of anything....sort of like the trendy tv commercials which flash images, but never mention a product, or young girls trying to emulate Kate Wolf by 'singing their diaries'.

Ah, well...the world changes,whether I like it or not...fortunately, I can still find a little of the sort of thing I like...perhaps Mudcat will help my taste in music to endure ....
