Description
When you look at the combined histories of the members of Talking Water, ranging from Clannad, Sally Oldfield, John Lord, Farfarello to Norland Wind and Kelpie, you begin to get an idea of the diverse influences which make up their unique sound.
Two renowned musicians from the Celtic Scandinavian world-music scene combining forces with three virtuoso representatives of contemporary rock-pop-lounge. This brand-new album is a powerful mixture of old and new, an eclectic cocktail of acoustic and electronic sounds.
Contemporary song-writing fuses with elements of folk traditions (original Celtic reels, Norwegian and Gaelic poetry, Icelandic ballads), which in turn are combined with ambient-, chill-out-, ethno- and rock-rhythms to produce Talking Water's archetypal melodic groove.
