As the blurb for this album said you have to love new music and bagpipes to like this one. Michael O'Neill is a classicaly trained composer and piano player who was drawn at a young age to bagpipes. Based in Vancouver he is very involved in the new music scene with several other groups including Uzume Taiko (Japanese drums met avant garde jzz) and Gamelan Madu Sari (Indonesian Bells and gongs). I first listened to his music when I lived in Vancouver and was into the new music scene there. This one is different to say the least.
