I think this is all synth generated.  But it’s still bemusing or fun or a little weepy here and there.  Sure it’s cashing in on followers of Auld Eire.  But’s it’s OK.

There’s something hinky about Track 7.  It’s labeled “Bauch Na Carraige Baine,” but it’s really Bach’s “Prelude in C Major” from The Well-Tempered Clavier.  You can look up the name of the track online and what you hear as “Bauch Na Carraige Baine” AIN’T what you hear in Track 7.


See you Thursday with a bit o' April Fun!
