乐队介绍:
  这支由笛子演奏家Seamus Egan领导的爱尔兰五人乐队,是当代凯而特民谣领域中非常突出的团体,原因在于他们虽然大部分音乐具有很深的凯而特根源性,但却以不同于传统乐队的表现手法来演绎,他们使用的并非是我们常见的凯而特乐器,而是诸如吉他,鼓,甚至电声乐器等摇滚乐常见乐器,当然仅就这点也并非有如何特别,Solas除了有手风琴,动听的低音笛、哨管,后期还引入了班卓琴,布祖基琴,使得在熟悉的凯而特旋律中透露出颇有异域韵味的风格来。
  在谢默斯.艾根的带领下,这支爱尔兰民谣超级组合通过融合许多非传统的乐器使得爱尔兰传统的音乐图景现出新的生机。组合的成员们利用吉他,班卓琴和布祖基琴这些乐器给他们的音乐增添了现代意味,而其音乐本身则是植根于爱尔兰传统的利尔舞(一种双人舞),快步舞和其他民谣形式之中的。作为一个少年天才,艾根十六岁就发表了他的第一张专集并和彼得, 保罗 ,玛丽 还有拉尔夫.斯坦利一起游历四方。他后来和威妮弗蕾德.霍兰, 约翰.威廉姆斯, 约翰.道尔还有歌手 卡伦.凯茜组合成了这支名为SOLAS的乐队。

专辑介绍:
Despite being recorded at studios all over the world, lauded contemporary Celtic collective Solas' seventh album is one of the more cohesive releases of their nearly 15-year career. Unlike 2003's more song-oriented Another Day, Waiting for an Echo focuses on the group's impressive instrumental prowess, deftly navigating traditional minefields like "Tom Sullivan's/Mick's Polka/The Newmarket Polka" and the lilting, self-penned "The Ballerina Jig," as well as atmospheric ballads like the magical "Doireann's Waltz." That's not to say that Solas have cashed in their pipes, as Mick McAuley takes a vocal turn on the lovely "Erin," while lead vocalist Deirdre Scanlan croons beautiful renditions of both "Silver Dagger" -- a traditional piece the group picked up from none other than Dolly Parton -- and Richard Shindell's "On a Sea of Fleur de Lis." Other highlights include "The Coconut Dog Morning Dew," featuring Spanish bagpiper Carlos Nunez, and a rousing -- if slightly tropical -- version of the traditional staple "The Ploughman." Waiting for an Echo is another outstanding collection from one of the genre's most enduring -- and adventurous -- acts.
懒得通篇翻译了,不复杂,自己看看,大概意思就是说以表现令人震撼的器乐演奏为主兼以缥缈动听人声的一张值得欣赏的专辑。AMG给予了四星半的极高评价。
