It’s funny: we’ve never done more than 1 #music post in a day. But the truth is over the course of a day We listen to many other things #AfroCeltSoundSystem #DepecheMode #Enigma #DeadCanDance etal always returning to #IarlaOLionaird ‘s voice & #Celtic🎵 #TheGloaming 4💿s We’ve rec’d before: 3 by #ACSS
Afro Celt Sound System Vol. I: Sound Magic (front cover) Some tracks from this were actually used in promotions for tv coverage of the US Olympics that year. One track, Inion (Daughter) was used in an episode of the Canadian tv series La Femme Nikita, of which we were ardent fans. Another ACSS track, Release (see next album) was used in a later episode of LFN. This album provided so much inspiration to our writing, and was actually crucial, years later, to “soundtrack” the beginnings of a romantic Utopian fantasy novel We co-wrote during Covid lockdowns. ~💞 Apologies for not using ALTs for its proper purpose. This fault is continued in the next three non-ALTs, ending in further apologies. 😔 Afro Celt Sound System Vol. 2: Release (w/guest vocal on the literally death-defying, uplifting title track, Release, from Sinéad O’Connor). Though, tbh, our favourite tracks are Éireann & Amber, both sung by iarla… AfroCelt Sound System Vol. 3: Further In Time - with guest vocals from Peter Gabriel (When You’re Falling, which Peter sings with iarla); Robert Plant (Life Begin Again) & Heather Nova? or Screaming Orphans-unclear on credits tbh (on one of our very fav songs ever: Go On Through, along with iarla’s seeming “response” song afterward, Persistence of Memory - both songs so very close to our 💞) along with many guest musicians of both Afro & Celtic background. Iarla Ó’Lionáird made several solo albums, our favourite of which is the absolutely gorgeous & deeply personal Foxlight (not pictured here). He even had a cameo appearance in the movie Brooklyn -a film We highly recommend, btw - in which he appears as one of the poor Irish immigrant men at a Catholic church’s shelter Christmas dinner. He’s asked by the priest to sing for the crowd and stands up, singing a heartbreakingly beautiful and poignant song from the Old Country, bringing tears to the eyes of the many old men there. But this is among what followed his several solo albums: the 2nd album by “Irish supergroup” The Gloaming. It’s the one of theirs we like best, beautiful and rich with traditional Celtic songs, some instrumental. It includes a version of the song Iarla sang in Brooklyn. Apologies for using these ALTs to explain the albums rather than to do what they’re meant for: descriptions of images for those sight impaired. Though each album cover is actually very complex, unusual and/or difficult for us to describe, to be honest! Sorry, nonetheless. 💞
