To keep this in the Nordic vein for a moment, I'm currently enjoying albums by Hoven Droven and Gjallarhorn in addition to the Hedningarna and Garmarna that Tim mentioned. The former are not as electronic as the latter, but are mightily cool in their own right. For similarly hip electro-Celtic music, I highly recommend Michael McGoldrick's _Fused_ and Alyth McCormack's _An Iomall_, both on Compass Records, as well as anything by Martyn Bennett (but particularly his self-titled first record) and Bill Laswell's _Emerald Aether_ remix disc. I also spent a good chuck of time this week cruising mp3.com for new stuff (taking advantage of my boss's absence); check out raisedbyaliens and Dysrhythmia for some cool guitar-trio instrumental rock. And just for a moment, I'll bow briefly to my lingering metalhead roots and recommend the latest albums by Incubus, Puya, and Disturbed. It ain't loopy, necessarily, but it's good aggressive music that actually displays some musicianship, which fortunately seems to be more common in the heavy rock scene lately. Don't haul yer spandex out of the closet just yet, though. =) >Their stuff is in many >ways similar to a project I'm currently involved in: >a percussion/electric >upright bass/loopmangled guitar trio fronted by a >female Celtic vocalist. Dammit, Tim, this is the band I'd've started if I could find the personnel. Please tell me you have some samples to share!
