Editorial Product Review: :It has now been over a decade since Gaelic Storm's career lifted off with their appearance in the blockbuster film Titanic. Since their big-screen debut 10 years ago, the band's fan base continues to multiply with each new album, turning the one time-pub-band into one of the premier touring acts in the Celtic/World music genre. Musically, Gaelic Storm's compelling originals and fresh arrangements steeped in Celtic traditional melody combined with their unique blend of world rhythms continue to ...

Editorial Product Review: :Remember the music that was playing during the steerage party in Titanic? That was Gaelic Storm, who on their self-titled debut present an engaging mix of traditional music, dance music, and songs, all performed with energy and enthusiasm. The album opens with 'Hills of Connemara,' a fast-paced tune with a long instrumental section before the vocals begin, thus giving you a taste of the considerable musical talent present in this group. 'Bonnie Ship the Diamond/Tamlinn' is a fast, almost ...

Editorial Product Review: :Following their gig as steerage band in mega-blockbuster The Titanic, their acclaimed self-titled debut disc, and a continuous tour throughout North America, the U.K., Japan, and France, Gaelic Storm offer up the enticing reels, boisterous jigs, and sweet melodies of Herding Cats. Beginning with the rousing 'Drink the Night Away,' the quintet marries fiddle, guitar, accordion, harmonica, and bodhran with the African djembe, the group's signature vocals, and a spirit of merriment. Previously a favored pub band in Santa ...
Editorial Product Review: :Fans of the Titanic soundtrack will undoubtedly appreciate this sequel, a collection of original music and background tunes not found on the first disc. They won't be disappointed. The newly composed 'Titanic Suite' and 'Epilogue: The Deep and Timeless Sea' are patchwork quilts of James Horner's most moving themes from the movie.

But groups like Gaelic Storm are keeping their heritage alive, blending their musical roots with ...

AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.
