Le chemin des Ombres Mag Mor Marche des Morts Samhain Lag an Aonaigh Those beats are immediately apparent in the opening song Shake That Bagpipe.
After that the Sidh throw everything but the kitchen sink at you, flute, bagpipe, breaks, slow dubstep sections, cool percussion, fast pumping basslines, catchy hooks, and all that in just minutes.
This is a wake-up call, as strong as two litres of Italian expresso. No way you are gonna sit still on this song! It is, aside from the beats, a really lovely Irish tune. The Sidh have discovered the raw power of the bagpipe and are using it to its full potential on Another Way To Fly. Marcin is the founder, vocalist and whistler of the Polish folk band Shannon.
It is a nice upbeat song, although I have to say, after the really strong intro with the big drums and the throat singing, I was hoping for a wee bit more adventurous middle section with more of a Mongolian feel and instruments. Why not go all the way? It would make the album more varied and therefore even stronger. It starts with nice catchy intro, mostly with flute, then the beats kick in.
The intro becomes the hook where the song is built around. One or two breaks are build in to open up the music and make the beats sound stronger. And under it all there is always that powerful combination of sub low bass and bagpipe.
It may sound a bit dull written out like this, but not to worry, the Sidh do this so well. The power of this this recipe is in the quality of the melodies used. They are well composed, full-on Irish folk tunes.
Iain is a gifted flute and bagpipe player and he is fast, seriously fast. Impressive stuff. Where the American brostep style focusses on aggression, the Sidh bring something new to it, positive vibes.
You hear the heritage of the old Italo-disco sound in there, and the folk tunes are the perfect way to carry that through. One of my favourite songs on the album. And so we come to my favourite song on Another Way To Fly. The best song of the Sidh in general I think. It starts with an impressive synthesizer organ creating a wall of chords. When, in the second bar, the bagpipe and bass join in, this wall of chords just blow you away.
The song is built around a cool bagpipe hook, catchy as anything. I just love that hook and, oh joy! No stopping me getting to that dancefloor.
What a song. Love it! After this wall of sound we get our first breather. Two suggestions came up while listening to this song. First I would have loved the song to be a bit longer. It stops rather unexpectedly and abrupt. Secondly, after the adrelin rush caused by Iridium , I personally would have loved to dance a bit more, before having this breather.
Around song nine I would say. The pace is picked up again with Sileadh and Vault. I have to say, I love this album. I really do. My only wish for the next album is that the band go a bit bolder with the production.
