Repetitive R.L.-Burnside-meets-"Frontier-Psychiatrist" vocal sample. Double not-good.
How do I rate it, then? I'm so conflicted!
The uilleann pipes (/ˈɪlən/ or /ˈɪljən/; Irish: ) are the characteristic national bagpipe of Ireland. Earlier known in English as "union pipes", their current name is a partial translation of the Irish-language term píobaí uilleann (literally, "pipes of the elbow"), from their method of inflation. The bag of the uilleann pipes is inflated by means of a small set of bellows strapped around the waist and the right arm (in the case of a right-handed player; in the case of a left-handed player the location and orientation of all components are reversed). The bellows not only relieve the player from the effort needed to blow into a bag to maintain pressure, they also allow relatively dry air to power the reeds, reducing the adverse effects of moisture on tuning and longevity. Some pipers can converse or sing while playing.
This just sounds horrible... PSD time!
Yes. Aside from the fact that my wife's name is Annie.
Interesting use of bagpipes.
