Title: Needs the Right Mood
Review: Troy Donockley & Dave Bainbridge from the Celtic folk jazz rock group "Iona" were given a chance to play their instruments in the Lincoln Cathedral using a Binaural stereo technique. The sound engineer Dallas Simpson used a custom designed in-ear microphone to create a 3 dimension surround sound in real time. This CD is suppose to sound at its best using headphones. The music is rather free flowing with mystical Celtic overtones but something reminded me of a Mark Isham theme from the movie "Mrs. Soffel" staring Mel Gibson & Diane Keaton. Yes, its that Irish tin whistle sounding like blowing wind. The CD hasn't grabbed me yet, maybe because I can't find a special time of quiet listening these days, but the talent & engineering are unquestionable. There also is a video DVD version that just came out that I haven't seen. Keep an eye out for these two artists.
