Customer Highland Pipes & Drums: Bagpipe Music Of Scotland Reviews
Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)
Scottish bagpipes I purchased this CD for the song "Amazing Grace" which I want to be played as the last song at my funeral---as I am lowered in the ground. This was an awesome arrangement!!! I love bagpipes (probably my Scottish heritage)and this CD did not disappoint!! Submitted by mountainbabe26 (Norman, OK) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Bagpipes,not as bad as you think they are. Over all I was pretty impressed with the music on this CD,though I must admit I really only bought the CD because it has "Amazing Grace" played by the bagpipes. But the music is very well played and every song is enjoyable,unlike some albums that have only 2 or 3 good songs on them. But I think this CD is one that people who like bagpipe and related music should give a listen too. Submitted by a reviewer (Yorktown, VA,USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo

$16.45 The Desolation Bells are a pretty good band from Boston, Massachusetts. They have synthesized (without using synthesizers) an amalgam of classic rock, indie rock and brit pop influences into the confection which you can listen to samples here. A pop album, er CD, er a collectioin of mp3s, known as “What is your trajectory?” “What is your trajectory?” is definitely a question the band asks themselves, but they also ask the listener the same question? And with wry aplomb, you’d probably get a different answer on any given day as to what their trajectory actually is. However, from listening to this disc, one can immediately hear that part of their raison d’etre is to rock out. Delving heavily into such classic rock influences as Love, the Who, the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. The band also embraces less Mesozoic influences such as Blur, Oasis and that whole league…as well as the obvious American indie influences that most Boston rockers have assimilated by diffusion through the permeable membrane that is college radio which blankets this town.But even tho’ the band cops riffs and stylings from their antecedents, they are a wholly unique entity in today’s rock scene! One would be hard pressed to find a band today or yesteryear that they resemble…and herein lies the strength of this band…Desolation Bells was formed by Mike Hibarger (Takers, Tulips) and Frank Butkus ...
