(1998).. .... .. ........GREEN MAN'S ..'....lovedeathbeauty....'..:.......... ....Building on traditional lyrics and melodies, ..Green Man's.. new compact disc '....lovedeathbeauty......' (independently released on ..Bad Baby Records.. and a follow-up to the band's self-..titled debut release '....GREEN MAN....') delivers a cinematic soundscape ranging from Celtic to Appalachian to Arabic. Dark, beautiful, layered, hallucinogenic, and smart; think ....1 Giant Leap.., ..Portishead,.... and ....Massive Attack.... filtered through Middle Eastern and Celtic sensibilities. The result is unique, exciting and fresh..... The palette of sounds is large and varied, combining acoustic instruments (flutes, tin whistle, accordion, cittern, sitar) with contemporary (loops, techno beats, samples, sequencers, Eastern percussion/rhythms, thunderous drums, heavy rock guitars) -- all tied together with rich male/female lead vocals and lush three-part harmonies..... While remaining true to the timeless depth and beauty of traditional Celtic music, ..Green Man.. creates a sound and mood that is decidedly their own....... The group is again joined on this album by uilleann piper ..Eric Rigler.. (..Bad Haggis.., ..Troy, Master And Commander, Titanic, Braveheart, The Road To Perdition.. soundtracks) and world percussionist ..Austin Wrinkle.. (..Hands On'Semble..) as well as numerous other special guests....... ........LIVE PERFORMANCES:...... ..Live shows incorporate any combination of fire/glowstick dancing, bellydance, hula-hoops and Irish step-dancing... ....Green Man.. have shared the stage with ....Battlefield Band.., ..Black 47.., ..Cowboy Junkies.., ..Gaelic Storm.., ..Arlo Guthrie.., ..Talitha MacKenzie.., ..Todd Rundgren.., ..Seven Nations..,.. and ....The Young Dubliners...., among many others....... Martin Morrisey's dancing feet have appeared with ....The Chieftains.... and on ....The Tonight Show with Jay Leno......... ....PRESS:...... "..This CD is excellent from start to finish, fusing traditional instrumentation with the contemporary, and generating a sound and mood that should satisfy both the traditional and the progressive listener. It is, without any reservation, one of the best independent releases that we have received - the kind you hope for but rarely get...".. ..- Scott Ericson,.. ....Music Sojourn........ "..I like (it) very much. It's a very interesting approach... much more authentic than Riverdance music, it (has) a much nicer edge to it...".. ..- Joe Boyd,.. ..Producer.. (..Pink Floyd, REM, 10,000 Maniacs..).... "..Too many Irish bands fit into one of two categories - Celtic rock a la drums, electric guitar and bass slaughtering 'Brown-Eyed Girl' or 'Fisherman's Blues' - or strictly traditional, overly polite bands. Green Man is a band of solid musicianship that electrifies...their willingness to experiment is refreshing...".. ..- Dave Soyars,.. ..Irish Herald (San Francisco, CA)...... .... "..Green Man combines Celtic and Eastern music to sometimes startling effect. The music is all lush and lovely, like Enya touring with Lawrence of Arabia...".. ..- Listen.com...... "..Green Man's music is rooted in Celtic - but the instrumentation takes them around the world, and even into space, while held together with incredible rhythm...".. ..- John Wilmott,.. ..Celtic Ways........ "..Celtic music reinvents itself with every new age... this time around it's called Green Man...".. ..- John Hannah,.. ..writer for People Magazine........ ....INQUIRIES:...... Email the band at ..info@greenmanmusic.com.. for ..bookings.., ..music licensing.., ..freelance engineering/production.. requests, etc. .... .... ......Green Man's "..Bush, Bombs and Bin Laden..".. featured on Neil Young's .. Living With War ..website...... ....You can choose from over 600 tracks by talented artists from all around the world by visiting Neil's "....Songs of the Times...." page... .. .. .. ...... .. ..And while you're there, kindly consider casting your vote for ..Green Man..'s "......Bush, Bombs and Bin Laden......"

"Truth is a pathless land, you cant approach it by........ any...... religion or sect. You are accustomed to being told how far you have advanced, what your spiritual state is.. how childish. Who but yourself can tell whether you are beautiful or ugly within.".... ....-- J. Krishnamurti.......... ........"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that.. matter in Germany... but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.".......... .. ...... -- Hermann Wilhelm Göring..,.. ..Nazi Field Marshall and founder of the Gestapo, at the Nuremberg trials............. ........"These [terrorist] attacks are not inevitable. They are, however, possible, and this very fact underscores the reason we cannot live under the threat of blackmail..The terrorist threat to America and..the world will be diminished the moment that Saddam Hussein is disarmed.....I've said in the past that nations are either with us or against us in the war on terror.....Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.".... ......-- George W. Bush.......... .. .. ...... .... .."..Lean to the left, slide to the right.......... Count the cost of freedom.. in the childrens' eyes.. Put your head to bed, your reason to rest.......... Let Bush have his bombs,.. let the priest molest.. Lean to the left, slide to the right.......... Believe what they say,.. believe a reason to fight.. Wave a weary flag and pump up your fear.. 'Cuz Bush and Bombs and Bin Laden been here.." * .... ......-- April Theriault.., ..Green Man.... .. * Excerpt from '......Bush, Bombs and Bin Laden......' (unreleased).. Complete lyrics .. are available here....... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .. .. .. .. ..
