If you are one of those individuals, which I was, who have never heard
this
group before, I urge you to get this CD and take the op****tunity to listen
to it. It contains a stunning variety of drumming. There are rhythms
that
grab you by the heart-strings and draw you to dance. There are rhythms
which trans****t you to other cultures. There are rhythms which make you
feel good. In short, you will find something for everyone on this CD.
This is their newest release, and contains a version of their popular
single
"Pagan Soldier." I had heard about this song from folks connected with
Pagan Troop Sup****t, so I was looking forward to hearing it.
I was going to say that it was amazing how well they captured the martial
spirit without the use of vocals, but then I realized that most good
martial
music does that. Instead, I will say that it was amazing how well they
drew
together components for this song. Pipes and bass drums are expected;
kettle drums are a given, but the combination of instruments lends a
special
feel to this song.
After listening to this CD a few times I found it rapidly becoming one of
my
favorites and, truthfully, I only have few CDs I listen to on a regular
basis. Most of my CDs sit in my collection and gather dust. This CD is
NOT
one of those.
Go to their website and download "Pagan Soldier." If you like it, and I
am
betting you will, purchase this CD and enjoy the wide range of drumming it
contains. You won't be disappointed.
