Reviews
Reviewer: "mwallace98" (Thornton, CO USA) - See all my reviews This is an absolutely terrific collection of Celtic/Irish music.
↓ more ↓We bought this cd awhile ago and somewhat listened to it and put it away. Brought it back out again and REALLY listened to it. Now, we can't put it away. It is absolutely fantastic. A refreshing break from the noise common in todays music. #7 is my FAVORITE. It makes me want to dance and skip around. It can be very difficult when driving in my car. I can't stop moving. THANKS SO MUCH MATT, FOR THIS TRULY INSPIRING COLLECTION.
Reviewer: Bob Gunton (Sherman Oaks, CA USA) - Matt Ender's ANCIENT ISLE is a lovingly created musical pastiche of Celtic music, inspired and engendered by the airs, tunes and jigs of of Ireland and Scotland. Fans of Celtic music as well as those who simply enjoy beautiful tunes and hypnotic rhythms should find a verdant harvest in this beautifully produced CD. In much the way that RIVERDANCE used ancient airs, imaginative cross-pollination of musical genres and sheer imagination to capture the virile, passionate spirit of the Celts, so Matt Ender, with the assistance of some fine soloists ( violinist Charlie Bisharat among others) has payed hommage to the spirit of Celtic music, while allowing his own native sensibilities to take the lilt and snap to other places. (His Danny Boy seems nearly Irish-Carribean.) This is a CD to relax with, to set your imagination spinning, to both soothe and inspire. It's very fine work. [A partial disclaimer. Mr. Ender was once a neighbor of mine. For some reason, unknown to me, my wife and I are included on the CD's list of Thank Yous. All I can say is......Thank you, right back, Matt, for this accomplished, refreshing, beautiful piece of work.....from an Irishman, who's been back to the motherland.
