Product Description

Virtuoso piper Eric Rigler and his world music band Bad Haggis have released a long-awaited fourth recording, WINE DARK SEA. WINE DARK SEA with its 11 songs joins Bad Haggis previously released ARK and Trip albums and SURROUND MUSIC AWARDS-nominated 2004 DVD SPAN. The disc includes Cinderella Man, original end credits music Eric wrote and performed for the 2005 film of the same name starring Russell Crowe. Bad Haggis features Eric, "the world's most recorded piper," whose bagpipes and whistles are featured on more than 50 film soundtracks from Hollywood blockbusters BRAVEHEART and TITANIC to the 2005 Oscar winner MILLION DOLLAR BABY. The band is Eric on Scottish and Irish bagpipes and whistles, Mick Linden on bass guitars & vocals, Mike Hoffmann on lead guitars, Rogerio Jardim on drums & vocals and Alberto Lopez on percussion. All five players wrote and arranged the songs. Fans of Erics phenomenal pipe skills will enjoy The Rocky Road to Dublin that wraps traditional Irish pipe tunes around his own composition, Cinderella Man. Likewise, Sleepy Maggie combines traditional Scottish pipe tunes seamlessly with the 1980s hit song by The Cure, Hot! Hot! Hot!!! Three tracks feature vocals in Portuguese or Spanish Ventania (Gale Wind), Beijo (Kiss) and Barcos (Ships), co-written by Salsa superstar Rubn Blades. Nimble Attitude describes an LA traffic jam, complete with screeching brakes, crunching metal and breaking glass. Water imagery is a recurrent theme for Bad Haggis, from the discs title, taken from Homers epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, to individual songs and their lyrics such as Love Carry Water, Horizon and Prayers. Bad Haggis uses its own one-of-a-kind musical vocabulary to assemble a number of existing styles and influences, including rock, jazz, pop, alternative, groove, African, Celtic and Latin, into a cutting-edge world-music language.

Customer Reviews:

Not pure Celtic, but mighty tasty nonetheless.......2006-10-24

This CD is like a nine course meal, all of which is mighty tasty! The rhythm section is tight, the vocals and harmonies are tight, the piping is technical and harmonizes exceptionally well with the guitar.
The guys in Bad Haggis take us on a musical journey, fusing several different musical genres together, but each is satisfying in its own right.
The hooks are solid, the melodies are memorable - this is a keeper...my personal favorite is "Sleepy Maggie" with the hook-y "Hey...Hey...Hey....Hot...Hot...Hot" chorus....(and no, not THAT Hot, Hot, Hot, cliche-song)
Wish Amazon made pre-listen samples avaiable, but trust me - this one IS HOT, HOT, HOT....

Not a Celtic CD.......2006-08-19

This is the first Bad Haggis CD I've purchased that I bought after hearing the Rocky Road to Dublin cut on an Internet radio station. This cut is intriguing, quirky pipes, just what I like. Eric Rigler is a well-known piper so I figured the rest of the CD would be more of the same: celtic rock with lots of pipes.

Wrong! If you hold your mouth just right, you could claim that there are three, maybe four, Celtic rock cuts. The online description describes the album as "influences of rock, alternative, jazz, pop, groove, world beat, African and Latin" That's pretty accurate, that's what you get, but not much Celtic rock. This CD is in no way similar to Wicked Tinkers, Old Blind Dogs, or Peat Bog Faeries. Nor is it like early Seven Nations.

In sum, if you're looking for "influences of rock, alternative, jazz, pop, groove, world beat, African and Latin" you'll be as happy as a dead pig in the sunshine. However, if you're looking for over the top Celtic Rock, lots of rabid piping, etc. you will be very disappointed with Wine Dark Sea.

I assume this is great.......2006-01-23

I would say its great, but Amazon won't put up pre"listens".
all other work by Bad Haggis is great, so why wouldn't this be?
Nimble Attitude is great, that's all i know. It on their site.
If your into Celtic Rock, but want more celtic instrumentals, this is the cd, and the band you want to buy.

The Finest African Jazz.......2000-12-05

The Finest African Jazz is a mixture of the smooth sounds of jazz and the mighty movement of the African Continent. This music makes you want to sway and swing at the same time. You don't know whether to slow dance with your partner or cut a rug by yourself, but one thing is for sure, you know you have to move your body to the beat. The music has so much diversity that you can use it for your quite, candlelight moments or play it in the background as you entertain friends and family. This is a CD to enjoy over and over again. Personally, I love it!
