REVIEWS

“What a wonderful, luminous presentation! Beyond the Ninth Wave really brings the spirit of Celtic vision and imagination to life". I recommend this DVD to anyone interested in the lore and life of the Celts"
John Matthews - author of Encylopaedia of Celtic Myth & Legend and Taliesin the Last Celtic Shaman

"While it could have lapsed into touchy feely stuff, it doesn’t, as it entertains, enlightens and charms. A fun and often heart warming experience that unexpectedly comes from the educational side".
2004 Midwest Record Recap - Chris Spector, Editor and Publisher

"Here's something different: Celtic artist/animator Jen Delyth teamed up with vocalist Gilli Smyth (the 'mother' of the psychedelic band Gong), and a host of artists, musicians, and dancers to create a truly multi-media portrayal of nine Celtic myths and spiritual concepts.At times inspiring, at times a bit like watching Druids on acid, this DVD is for the more open-minded and adventurous viewer of matters Celtic.
Dirty Linen - Magazine of Folk and World Music Feb/March 05

“Watching this DVD puts you in another state of mind, transporting you to a world of myth and magick.. It’s like an invocation, putting you in communion with its Gods and Goddesses. It is like a digital altar, and watching it is a ritual unto itself.. The imagery is lush, the music is powerful, and the words are beautiful. The whole thing is truly inspirational!” Raevyn Customer & artist
