This is the day and the hour
The time when the changing begins
The land and the sky fallen silent
Quiet moves o'er the plain
Quiet moves o'er the plain
The silence moves over the plain
The land and sky are quiet
The heart is beating within
Her song echoes a calling
For life to begin again
For life to begin again
The time when the changing begins
The land and the sky fallen silent
Quiet moves o'er the plain
Quiet moves o'er the plain
The silence moves over the plain
The land and sky are quiet
The heart is beating within
Her song echoes a calling
For life to begin again
For life to begin again

Love this, and Julie Murphy's esquisite Welsh voice piercing through. Causes a little bit of hiraeth.

WOW great one for Plant.
These guys are amazing live. They do a lot of collaborations (several of which are on RP's playlist) with heavy hitters like this one with Plant. The ones with Peter Gabriel and Sinead are pretty tasty as well.
This is horrible.

I've always enjoyed this band, the fusion of music , instruments and vocals brilliant. Great live too

Every now and then, I even have some time to respond to one or two extremely ill-informed and bad-faith attacks on my generational cohort! Also, if you couldn't tell, I inherently like to write, have strong opinions about music, and type at a pretty healthy word-per-minute rate.
I'm sure I'll become an old curmudgeon at some point and yell at anyone who'll listen that music ain't the same since Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder were at their peaks, but until then, I'm pretty okay with my lot in life.

Hi! Millenial here (at the older end of the range, but still within the definition). I grew up loving Zeppelin, and still do. Plant's stuff since Zeppelin, however, doesn't nearly reach those heights (and don't even get me started on Jimmy Page's collaboration with Diddy, but that's another story). Also, not every Beatles song is The Greatest Song Ever Written; the apex of the Rolling Stones surpassed anything from the Beatles for me (Gimme Shelter makes my heart skip a beat every time), but sure, the Beatles were way more influential. Queen is, still, to this day, and probably forever, criminally underrated. Neil Young is criminally overrated, and has a singing voice so god-awful that he makes Geddy Lee sound like Placido Domingo by comparison.
Everyone is allowed to like the music they like, and not like the music they don't like. The world will not end if someone rates a Zeppelin or Beatles song low! It just means that there are different tastes, and tastes change across generations. That's okay! It's okay if Robert Plant is one of the most creative forces in music history, and it's also okay that he's stuck around so long that he's not hitting with the same force he did LITERALLY FIFTY YEARS AGO!
Music has been just as influential, moving, and relevant as it was in the Sixties and Seventies. Guns N' Roses. Bon Jovi. Aerosmith. The Smiths. U2. Depeche Mode. The Cure. Pearl Jam. Nirvana. Smashing Pumpkins. Nine Inch Nails. Green Day. A Tribe Called Quest. Snoop Dogg. Dre. Jay-Z. Tupac. Beyonce. The Strokes. Eminem. Taylor Swift. Lady Gaga. Bruno Mars. The Weeknd. And I'm missing a TON of artists, because I don't listen to the radio or Spotify on the regular. Oh, and let's not forget that none of this would exist without Gospel, Jazz, and R&B anyway.
When you dismiss someone by calling them a millenial, don't be surprised to get an "OK Boomer" back at you. Your argument is no better than theirs.
Hey whatever you say bro.... no need to rate Neil Young but if I could drink a beer with him sometime it would make my day, month, year!

Thanks PhoenixArtDj. This best sums up my thoughts on most negative music criticism on Radio Paradise. They may play stuff which is not ones cup of tea, but they don't play crap. The negative criticism I see just makes the reviewer look like an arrogant fool.

Plant's solo career is full of so many different textures, cultures, and journeys. While he will always be under the shadow of LZ, his career over the 40 years after LZ has been so impressive. He dabbled in mature rock (early 80s), strange electronic experimentation (Shaken & Stirred), big hair rock (late 80s), introspective rock (90s), and world music (90s and beyond). Love this guy.
Great Tune!

You guys must be millennials. Robert Plant is one of the most relevant rock singers & creative force in the history of rock & roll, still thriving since 1968. Even if his voice was still up for it, he's been done with Led Zeppelin for decades now (likely before you were born) as frankly, he's been there done that. The solo work & collaborations he's done in the last couple of decades has been remarkable. This song is a great example of his thoughtful collaboration and how pretty much any artist would be honored to share the studio & stage with him. A 10 for me.

I'm more convinced than ever that Mr. Plant has way too much time on his hands.
for a moment I thought two different tracks were playing at the same time

I like the feel of this song, however I wish Plant would sing in a lower range. He always sounds like he is straining to hit the higher notes. His voice has a nicer timbre on lower notes.
I don't know, man. The music is phenomenal. Plant isn't doing it any favors.
coolest song I have ever heard
Arfo Celts and Robert Plant! F an A! would love to hear Lorrena McKennitt in the mix!

Lately, we've been hearing Robert Plant five times a day. I miss variety.
Even if you're a fan of neither, you know both can do better.
World+Rock=Outstanding!
The Fact that Robert Plant's voice is in this song leads automatically to "sucko barfo" no questions asked, not a single second wasted listening to this... thanks for the PSD that usually provides something >7

Ok, ACSS sell craploads of boatloads of CDs in their native Celtic regions. And IMO they kick donkey too! :)
I'm not so keen on this album as there are too many guest appearances (though they do owe Peter Gabriel for setting their project up in the first place), but it's still decent enough. Any of the other albums is way better, though.
Fred, you never fail to catch me off-guard and make me laugh out loud. 
I really love Afro Celt's music - it puts me in a sort of Zen-space...

I heard a clip of Plant on the Today show yesterday and Kathy Lee asked him if he actual wrote songs. He had a classy reply rather than bonkering her in the forehead

Yes, it is cool to see an older classic rock God not only still be performing, but performing interesting, relevant music! Unlike some other artists - Rolling Stones - Bruce Springsteen - that shall remain unnamed.

Completely agree. The evolution has been really great... funny to hear the synth stuff from the early/mid 80's, but it's all part of the journey.
Right now, he's probably been in just about the best form he's been in for a long time. Vocally (thinking Led Zeppelin shrieking Plant) Manic Nirvana might have been his best period for solo stuff... This Afro Celt stuff is much more where he belongs though.
Even more-so the current stuff he's doing with Allison Krauss is exactly where he is right now.
(although that O2 show was SO, SO, SO HOT that I think he should have given the Zeppelin thing one last go)

I would forgive Robert Plant of almost anything including soddomy against Donkeys.....mmm - he deserves respect up to the point of the donkeys at least.

Nope, the Plant is still growing well, goes into dormancy now and again, but blooms again when the weather is amenable and the melody demands it.

Ok, ACSS sell craploads of boatloads of CDs in their native Celtic regions. And IMO they kick donkey too! :)
I'm not so keen on this album as there are too many guest appearances (though they do owe Peter Gabriel for setting their project up in the first place), but it's still decent enough. Any of the other albums is way better, though.
Can you translate that into US denominations? We don't use sacks. Please put it in relation to a boatload, crapload, or buttload. Thanks! :)

boring I'm afraid... doesn't go anywhere at all
Robert Plant is definitely one of the coolest "old dudes" alive...it's great he still tries new things, given his level of success.

good song. but i wish they would have really challenged plant and made him earn his supper. it would have been great to hear him howl during a great piece of music again.

I love ACSS, but this song is forgettable. Plant adds nothing, IMHO.

Don't you mean add a point for Mr. Plant, Sheriff?
Man, Robert Plant sure gets around lately. Could tell it was him from across the room. I like this.
very unique, no one sounds like these guys, one of the reasons I listen to RP! thanks Bill!

That said, and although I'm a big fan of theirs with 4 albums, I don't know WTF Robert Plant is doing on their work. He's not only yesterday's man, but his music, good though it is, has zero to do with the kind of fusion music ACSS put out. This collaboration does neither any favours.

Buahaha I came on to say this lead singer sounds like a washed up Robert Plant wannabe. How sad that I was only half right.

You are so, so wrong - ACSS are very big in Scotland these days, and I mean BIG! They regularly headline festivals and sell a sackload of CDs. IMO they're a very good example of the Celtic musical renaissance, fusing traditional Celtic sounds and rhythms with ambient, techno, and of course world music influences (not just Afro but, as you can hear here, Middle Eastern, and many others).

Anyway, 8 for ACSS, knock off 1 for yer man Plant's contribution, so 7 from the Nottingham jury. And a big thank you to RP for playing so much modern Celtic stuff.
Love this CD, would love it in surround sound 5.1 even more.

I do like Plant's North African collaborations.
