Negative Positive
Title: High replay value
Review: This is a bold piece of work. With the first listening, I felt it was a bit silly and at times bordering the "New Age" but as with any great music, several listenings are reqiured. Sure the playing is top notch, but I expect that from Michael. What really stands out here is the sound of the album, the play list and ultimately the mood that is created. Sonicly this album is in many ways on par with Bob Dylan's amazing "Time Out of Mind", a true studio masterpiece.With "Wired" McGoldrick has raised the bar of what "Celtic" based music is capable of being and sounding like. Far more sophisticated and mood inhancing then Afro Celt, and just as burning but more adventurous then Lunasa could ever be. I wouldn't want all of my Celt music to sound this way, I'm still a sucker for the trad, but this is a must have album for any audiophile or Celt fan.
