Album Review
After a brief diversion with their stage soundtrack recording Monkey!, Kila returns to task with another clinic in rhythmic, melodic, original music performed on Irish instruments. Kila excels in heavily layering their instruments with varying dynamics, slowly building to crescendos of orgasmic proportions and tapering off to a gentle conclusion, techniques best exemplified on "Glanfaidh Me" and "Baroki." The surprise track on Luna Park is "Béilín Méala," a beautiful, haunting piece with an underlying 1950s doo wop vibe. Sung in Gaelic and featuring low whistles, fiddle, double bass, and electric guitar, this song alone is worth the price of the album. Yes, it's out of character for this band, but its simplistic allure is intoxicating. Also veering from their expected instrumental and vocal tendencies is the gentle a cappella piece "Maith Dhom." But given Kila's full range of emotions and dynamics, this track serves as a reminder of the band's scope. In the realm of contemporary Irish music, Luna Park is a sheer masterpiece.
Customer Reviews
Amazing band
I saw this band live in Cor Town Ireland(I think thats how you spell it). I was blown away by how great they were. They played in this little bar in ireland and needless to say I bought every album since you will not be dissappointed. GREAT band plus they are down to earth. They were selling all their albums after the show great band
Out of this world.
This band, this album is great! i just discoverd them and i think they are amazeing. They make me feel good, and make me feel like im in a nother world. The instruments they use mix so well with the singing style. Very original stuff. Anyone who loves language and is in tune with culture should for sure buy a few of kila's albums.
Some good, some great!
This blends traditional Irish music with a more modern feel. The passion behind a select few songs are impressive and admirable, other songs however may sound off and displease. Glanfaidh Me is a powerfully attractive song and perhaps the finest of the collection. Other songs will inspire calmer emotions and will allow beautiful music to motivate one's senses with passion. Great for lovers of Celtic music, a must buy!
