Máire Brennan Máire (Vinyl - RCA, 1992) ***
Genre: Folk
Places I remember: Marbecks during the sell off of their vinyl stock.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Voices of the Land
Gear costume: Against the Wind
Active compensatory factors: Máire (a.k.a Moya Brennan) is the older sister of Enya and Brídín Brennan. She began performing professionally in 1970 when her family formed the band Clannad and this is her first album.
It's okay but not really my thing. Like Enya and Clannad, it all sounds samey to me. The two tracks highlighted are mid tempo and do raise their head above the slower aural washes.
It's nice and all for background noise but I don't think music should be background noise. For me, it should provoke a reaction of some kind and this stuff, while pleasant, doesn't do that to me. Sorry.
Where do they all belong? If you want more head to Clannad.
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence - ROBERT FRIPP. Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; MUSIC IS THE BEST - FRANK ZAPPA. I think we're a little happier when we have a little music in our lives - STEVE JOBS. Music in the soul can be heard by the universe - LAO TZU. Rock and Roll is fire, man. FIRE. - DAVID BRIGGS.
