For those fans who have been waiting for an all-Celtic release, this is it! Joining Acoustic Eidolon on their 9th recording is European Celtic Harpist Thomas Loefke. AE and Thomas have toured Europe for the past 9 years, and this compilation is a culmination of their international musical collaboration. "Friends Across the Ocean" features previously-recorded AE Celtic originals; however, they have been rearranged to include the Celtic Harp, rerecorded, remixed, and remastered. Also included are 6 gorgeous Celtic tunes by Thomas Loefke (www.norlandwind.de). Come visit AE at www.acousticeidolon.com to see more! Acoustic Eidolon, dubbed "World Music for the Soul", is one of the most exciting new sounds on the music scene today, blending Celtic, Gypsy Flamenco, World and folk flavors into strongly melodic and emotional music. Their recordings are featured on NPR, Woodsong’s Old Time Radio Hour, and several television specials. Their music is lively and evocative, and encompasses their own life experiences to result in a riveting and deeply resonant audience experience. Acoustic Eidolon calls Colorado home though they have performed extensively throughout the world. With a repertoire that defies categories, their signature sound knows no bounds as their music travels through Celtic, World, Latin and Folk music influences. At times, even some Asian tonal poems and hard rock are blended into the mix. Dirty Linen Magazine praises them as “a sumptuous musical feast.” They are described by the Swallow Hill Music Association as “an evening of brilliant instrumentality,” and Georgia’s Good Life Magazine enthuses, “Acoustic Eidolon offers concert-goers a chance to absorb some of the most powerful and intriguing music on the scene today.”
