Edited one year agoI snapped this up on a Niagara vacation in 2012 hoping for some pleasant, relaxing Celtic/Gaelic jigs. At least the artwork & title suggested so.
Dropped the needle four years later. Not sure if it was my anxiety at the time but I getting quite the opposite of pleasant.
Dreams of Ireland is easy-listening, elevator music. Not afraid to say I enjoy elevator music—if you're in any way tuned into vaporwave culture, or you've happened across those old K-Mart cassette tapes at least once in your life, you get it. But this was not "easy" listening. The melodies were cloying, annoying, repetitously so, and the last song took it from just annoying to obnoxious.
I'm more patient than most with bad albums, sitting through the whole thing. "The Marino Waltz" made me lift the needle halfway! 😱
Can't blame Phil for trying to be nice. I believe he and the musicians meant well. Still, it's a waste of perfectly good talent. Certainly a waste of plastic. Grateful I let it go after one listen.
A bit surprised Quality would go all the way to press schlock like this on vinyl when it was on the way out. Pretty sure it was only a one-time executive mistake, though. And I can't blame Cinram—an excellent pressing plant at this time—for pressing this, especially when likely their staff got paid well.
Slap some Clannad on the turntable if you want the real stuff.
