    5 out of 5 stars This isn't your mother's folk music!.......2004-10-06

    Avalon Rising is a music group from the Pacific Northwest Bay area that create an electro-acoustic blend of both traditional and original songs with a Celtic flair. The group unapologetically embraces its roots in Celtic and pagan traditions while weaving in electric guitars and jazzy riffs that give the music a distinct edge of rock and roll. The overall effect is at once comfortable and energy inspiring and a treat for anyone who is a fan of this musical genre.

    Listeners can tell that cofounders Margaret Davis and Kristoph Klover, along with performers Mark Ungar, Cat Taylor and Scott Irwin love what they do, and have pulled together in the past ten years to craft a musical voice all their own. Mixing and melding traditions and times into a seamless whole that somehow just works incredibly well. The over all sound is not quite as seamlessly polished as mainstream music-sometimes the vocals can get lost amid the instruments, but I find this to be a small complaint considering what the group does deliver.

    Some of the songs still have a strong traditional and ethereal flair, like the Irish folk song "The Lark in the Morning", "Do You Love an Apple?" and "Health to the Company." Other selections are traditional, but have received a reviving lift courtesy of some rock and roll flair. "Hunt the Blarney Cat" and "Musical Pesto Set" are two such. Perhaps my favorite selection on this album is "Jack Daw" which is written by Kristoph Klover. It's a piece that really brings out the band's talents. Sort of Jethro Tull meets Middle Earth sort of pagan, progressive Celtic fantasy ballad. Kristoph Klover's vocals really shine here. "Dancing Bear" written by John Phillips, is another favorite. "Musical Pesto Set" is my favorite instrumental selection and was the first song I ever heard by Avalon Rising. This selection prompted me to find out about Avalon Rising and their music and then buy this album. I have not regretted the purchase.

    Fans of Emerald Rose, Loreena McKennit, Blackmore's Night and Fairport Convention will likely find this a welcome addition. If you prefer something more purely traditional, this will probably not suit your needs. You might wish to look for music by Dolores Keane or Karan Casey. Likewise, this is not a peaceful ambient music album to use during meditation-it's great for dancing though! I hope listeners will love this as much as I have. Be sure to check out their earlier album, "Avalon Rising" that was released in 1997.

    Happy Listening! ^_^ Shanshad

    5 out of 5 stars Misty Delight.......2004-06-25

    They did it again! An excellent mix of music for those who love folksy Celtic with some rock mixed in, and a nice compliment to their 1995 album. This music makes a wonderful companion on a long drive, or to a good dance, or for simply sitting back under a big oak tree and taking the tunes in. Lots of fun!

    4 out of 5 stars Hoot Mon!! Tap Yer Toes! Better Yet, Let's Dance!.......2004-06-09

    Avalon Rising proves worthy...stellar work on both traditional classics, covers and original tunes. They confirm that headlining time is here. Reminiscent of Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention and Pentangle, this band is a gift to Celtic rock fans. "Tempest" move over, musicianship and vitality come through on this bright brilliant mix of sweet, dance and merry songs.
    My list of favorites : first, traditional and instrumentals; Pesto & Side Sets, Congress Reel/Red Crow, Glasgow Peggy, Hexamshire Lass, Lark In The Morning. For the originals; Jack Daw, Turning In Time, make the grade. Even the cover of John Phillips' Dancing Bear is fun.
    Kristoph & Cynthia's singing could be stronger, but this cd is a fine effort. Especially musically this is a great experience. The only better thing to do is hear this adept band play these gems live. (Happily, the Celtic harp stood out more live and the solos last longer). Tossed in with their outstanding contagious tunes are surprises; a medley of Tull, and Who and then a few Grateful Dead tunes which makes us old rockers jump with glee.

    5 out of 5 stars Magical Celtic and Medieval.......2004-05-18

    STORMING HEAVEN by Avalon Rising is a magical album with its diversity of Celtic and Medieval songs all put together with fantastic instrumental and vocal arrangements. Each track has a different flavor. They are interesting, fun, really cool listening! My personal favorites are "Hunt the Blarney Cat" and "Sidhe Set" with Cat Taylor's Zeta violin hi-jinks. Many's the time I've seen them perform--they are going places. From a classic music lover--I tip my hat.

          5 out of 5 stars fun, hard, rowdy, and intelligent .......2005-06-23

          Gone Out Gone's "Songs for the Panopticon" takes you by a bit of surprise, beginning brightly & warmly enough to open for U2, and crashing around you with New Wave vigor - what a big sound! ...I recommend immediate download and/or purchase. Normally, I'd have a few things to pick on, but either my contentment pills have kicked in without warning, or this is a seriously well-written, well-performed, and professional album... "Songs for the Panopticon" is full of energy, charisma, and is almost flawlessly executed, making it stylistically & emotionally accessible to a wider range of people - I would think the piece would have good crossover appeal. Vague lyrics lend a song a sense of mystery, and engages the listener in frequent attempts to understand; all the while, the song grows on you, getting firmly into your brain. I could see this song making it onto at least three of my local radio stations. It's fun, hard, rowdy, and intelligent - plus, the afterglow is beautiful! Congratulations to Gone Out Gone on a job well done - and I wish you the best of luck with your art!!

              4 out of 5 stars Chocolate Layers INDEED..........2001-02-02

              When i first heard "The Facts of Life", i was taken by it's smart lyrics and sexy beat. A few months later i heard Chocolate Layers' version(a couple of brits maybe you heard of before, Jarvis Cocker and Steve Mackey of Pulp). Pulp wouldn't know how to make a song sexy or in this case sexier, would they? they only been doing it for years! Check this out if you get the chance. The art of Driving is good and the remix of Facts of Life does what any good remix should, take a good song and make it better.
