What a gorgeous blend of Japanese and Irish - a meeting made
in heaven. Collected on this mini-album are five studio
recordings from England plus two concert collaborations in
Tokyo last year when members of Soul Flower Union got together
with Donal Lunny, Sharon Shannon and the cream of Celtic music.
Nakagawa Takashi's 'Mangetsu no Yube' has to be the best
Japanese song for aeons and we're treated to both studio and
live versions here. Just feel the crack.
