Chris. I actually wrote you a long letter about Celtic music last Thursday but it disappeared somewhere in the posting. Anyway, the gist of it was that I'd like to ask a Celtic aficionada (like yourself) regarding Loreena McKennitt's "The Book of Secrets" (if you've heard of it). TBoS is unlike any other of McKennitt's albums; it has a lyrical atmosphere with distinct middle-eastern rhythms influencing the Celtic melodies. It's haunting and ancient with few of the high-pitched tones that cause distraction. Are there *ANY* other Celtic artists or bands who write music like TBoS?
