The Edge of Silence

Reseña del editor Solas, the Celtic world's most exciting and respected traditional band, has in five years built a world-wide following. The Edge of Silence is a breakthrough album. It features innovative version of songs by Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Nick Drake. Tienda The band Solas is based in the U.S., but the members are mostly Irish born and all are musicians of the first rank. The leader, Seamus Egan (flutes, tin whistles, uilleann pipes, guitars, etc.), won a bevy of Irish instrumental championships before he was out of his teens, and has since composed some notable film soundtracks, including The Brothers McMullen, which yielded the hit "I Will Remember You." Not surprisingly, Solas is one Celtic band that understands the meaning of a hook. This 2002 release is a mixed bag of jazzy floor-stompers, power-pop experiments, New Age exhalations, and ethereal ballads that make the most of Deirdre Scanlan's exquisite soprano. Winifred Horan's fiddling is especially evocative--dusky toned and effortlessly inventive--and the other players are also consistently on their game. However, their contributions are mitigated by intrusive synths and overdubs, which rise to the top of the mixes with crutchlike frequency. --Christina Roden Críticas "...(Solas') most provocative and brilliantly played recording...bound to be a hot topic throughout the acoustic music world." -- Boston Globe"...the album Solas began to push the envelope and first hinted that nothing was beyond its collective musical soul." -- Billboard"A powerful record." -- Billboard"Seamus Egan and Solas make mind-blowing Irish Folk Music, maybe the world's best." -- Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine...the material is strong; (Solas) plays with grace and real passion, Deirdre Scanlan's vocals are a thing of beauty. -- All Music Guide Artista biografía In six short years Solas has made a major impact in both America and abroad as an Irish music supergroup whose albums and live shows are among the finest and most exciting musical experiences in the world. Multi-instrumentalist wizard Seamus Egan leads the group; he was born in the Philadelphia area but grew up both there and in Ireland. Besides his three solo albums and his composing for film and theatre, he appeared on the soundtrack to Dead Man Walking . Native New Yorker Winifred Horan (fiddle, backing vocals) is a graduate of the New England Conservatory as well as former core member of Cherish The Ladies and The Sharon Shannon Band. Mick McAuley (accordions, whistle, vocals) is a virtuoso instrumentalist and delivers an evocative vocal on "Clothes Of Sand." Lead vocalist Deirdre Scanlan, a native of Nenagh, County Tipperary, made her mark in Ireland with her solo album Speak Softly, which received widespread praise. Donal Clancy, the highly talented son! of Liam Clancy of The Clancy Brothers, came to Solas after a two-year stint in the Eileen Ivers Band.
