Mist On The Ridge, a compilation album by Various, is a hauntingly beautiful collection of Celtic-inspired tracks that transport the listener to misty, mystical landscapes. The album features a range of artists and instruments, from the lilting melodies of the harp to the driving rhythms of the bodhran.
The album opens with the haunting strains of "Mist On The Ridge," a slow and mournful tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "The Piper's Lament," a mournful ballad that showcases the plaintive sound of the uilleann pipes, and "The Faerie Queen," a lively jig that will have listeners tapping their toes.
Throughout the album, the musicians display a mastery of their instruments and a deep understanding of the Celtic musical tradition. The production quality is excellent, with each instrument and voice coming through clearly and distinctly.
