CELTICA –Pipes Rock!: Rising
The CPR!´s debut album “Rising“ has 50 minutes of uplifting ”good-mood Rock“. The long and intensive work on arrangements paid off in the end: Hard rocking tunes,exciting new arrangements and expressive playing make this music great to rock to, and to listen to closely. Not only the arrangements, but also the awesome sound showcases the quality of this album. Great Scottish tunes and Rock Classics like Highway To Hell and I love Rock `n`Roll merge in an awesome new way. On Suo Gan, a Welsh lullaby, tender female voices contrast wonderfully with the powerful pipes. “We arranged the songs on purpose like the live arrangements, but we also used the facilities of the studio to realize our sound intentions – like a live performance under the best conditions.” explains Gajus, guitarist and producer, of the studio work.
