THE GAELIC HIT FACTORY -
John Spillane & Louis DePaor
To create a pure work of art, an artist must dare to remove all boundaries and break the rules of limitation. And so it goes when two lifelong friends -- a master of music and melody (that's John Spillane, legendary Irish singer, songwriter, recording artist, performer) and a master of poetic verse (that's Louis de Paor, Director of Irish studies, National University of Ireland, Galway and one of Ireland's premier poets) -- combine their creative talents and write songs in Gaeilge (the Irish language). Add to the mix a master producer, writer, musician (that's John Reynolds, credited for his work with "U2", Sinéad O'Connor, to name a few). The end result is The Gaelic Hit Factory -- filled to the brim with magnificent music and vocal performances (including the incomparable Natacha Atlas and Pauline Scanlon) and abundant with hidden treasures waiting to be found in every song and in each new listen. It's a gift that weaves its magic over and over and leaves the listener wanting more. If perfection is at all possible in this universe, then this work comes pretty damned close.
