Summary: Real Celtic Music
Comment: I actually find myself humming some of these songs occasionally, along with the songs from the other Ellipsis album Celtic Lullaby (which I prefer). This is an excellent CD for children, and adults with any taste for traditional music - I bought about a half-dozen albums with titles that were variations on "Celtic Lullaby," and this and it's companion take the prize. Of course, one doesn't need to be a Celt to enjoy this. If you're a derascinated Celt, however, and you want to get some exposure to a tradition that you've been robbed of, this is a good way (if this is part of your aim, also pick up "The Virgin's Lament (Caoineadhi Na Maighdine)" by Noirin Ni Riain).

No two songs on this CD or it's companion are recorded by the same artist, and many of the tracks are also found on another album by the recording artist (references to these are given in the liner notes, so if you like an artist, you can pursue it further). One or two (quite literally - only one or two) of the recordings could be more polished perhaps, but they never bothered me, who am fairly picky about these things.

The slipcase and cardboard foldout case are very nice, with the exception of the CD slipcase - it's a pocket of smooth cardboard, and I would have liked to have seen a traditional pop-in segment. No matter - very nicely done, and worthy of five stars.

Oh, and my daughter loves these, usually calms down to them when she's colicy, and otherwise does, in fact, fall asleep to them. Definitely five stars.

Summary: Beautiful, soothing and interesting
Comment: I play this cd as part of the bed time routine with my daughter. I've heard it dozens of times and I still look forward to hearing it every night.

Summary: World Music for Little Ears!
Comment: If you like soothing bedtime music, you are in for a real treat. The wonderful music from the Celtic region will delight both young and old music lovers. I will be buying more for gifts!
