5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Flook, 29 Sep 2002
By M. Adams "Markdoma" (London England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am not especially a fan of folk music, and stumbled across it by chance, but this I cannot recommend this CD highly enough.The playing is astounding and manages to combine a lightness of touch with a real wallop provided by the rhythm section of guitar and Bodhran -and you have never heard the Bodhran played like this! The overall effect reminds me in turn of Dawgmusic,some latin music (Fajardo, Pupi etc.), and in places (The Ballybrolly jigs for example) it even has some kind of funk feeling.
This is the most enjoyable CD I have bought in 2002, and I buy quite a lot: it should appeal to anyone with ears for the uplifting or virtuosic. Even if like me you don't think of yourself as a "folkie", do yourself a favour and check this out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fire on Snow, 30 Jul 2002
I am a whistle player and have been a very big fan of Brian Finnegan's playing since the release of his solo CD, "When the party's over " back in 1993. I have followed his path with great interest down through the years, during his days with the northern band 'Upstairs In A Tent' and throughout his work with Flook. Rubai, has to undoubtetly be the finest recording of whistle/flute music there as ever been. This is astonishing playing, from a band who must get such inspiration from each other that the music they make seems effortless and the understanding between them spiritual. I love this CD for it's lightness and grace and for the way it makes me feel so alive, and i hope i can follow the musical joureny of Mr.Finnegan and his brilliant band for many, many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb album, 14 May 2008
By Fergal Woods "Axe Victim" (Leitrim, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'd never heard of Flook until reading the above reviews, and now I'm converting all my pals to this joyous and invigorating music. It can loosely be described as Irish trad but boundary lines get blurred and you're left with hints of jazz,Galician and Balkan music in addition to lovely originals. The CD is totally instrumental, and if the line-up of flute,whistle,guitar and bodhran sounds limited - DON'T BE FOOLED! Most of the tunes comprise 3 different parts but these are not dance sets as is the case with most Irish music.The players are wonderfully talented - Brian Finnegan is the finest whistle player I've heard, and Sarah Allen is a highly accomplished flautist,at home in a number of styles.Ed Boyd (guitar) and John Joe Kelly provide peerless rhythmic drive and energy, and also bring back memories of Planxty with their short bouzouki-mandolin duet on "Kalamantinos".This segues into "Larry get out of the bin"(!) which has gorgeous harmony on twin flutes, and is my favourite track. If you don't like this one you won't like the album."Glass" is a beautiful slow air with more flute interplay and another highlight is Finnegan's impossibly fast "Pressed for time" - do not play this while driving if you want to avoid speeding! "Natterjack" is perhaps the most trad -sounding track featuring guest fiddler Colin Farrell, with a bit of trombone thrown in for good measure !
This is extremely melodic, adventurous music and comes in a very artistic case,more importantly the engineering is superb.I can't recommend this highly enough !

5.0 out of 5 stars Even for non folkies
Usually folk music sends me off into a deep coma, particularly the trad English variety. With Flook we're on safe ground as they're neither English folk nor snoozeworthy. Read more
