"What a haunting and soothing voice, Aine Minogue’s "Celtic Lamentations" is perfect for that moment when you need to sit back, meditate and be calm. Aine celebrates the mythology and poetry of her Irish heritage through the ghostly chants and songs on this CD. Along with Aine herself, romantic instruments such as the flute and harp are present in each song. "Celtic Lamentations’" hypnotic sound draws you in and brings you back to that time you sat watching the sunset during the Indian summer, or perhaps even back to your times as a Hobbit in the Shire. Honestly, I have no idea what she is saying but it really doesn’t matter. Her CD enchants, relaxes, and brings you to a place that cannot be described. Just listen to it and you will understand."

"The sheer beauty of this music, most of it exploring religious themes, is almost haunting." GLOBAL RHYTHMS

"Loss is universal. So is grief. Aine (ON-ya) Minogue has found a way to deal with both. She turns to music and folklore. They're not new tools. Minogue's new album grew from her research into how cultures through the ages have used both folklore and music to help grieve. " Lisa Mullins, NPR, THE WORLD

Celtic Lamentations, the truest storyteller ever to journey from Eire’s emerald shore, is without a doubt her best album to date. NA REPORTER *****

"One of the most popular creators of post-Enya Celtic new age music, Aine Minogue delights her fans album after album by focusing on the more ethereal aspects of Irish and Scottish songs.

Here she trains her mellifluous soprano on downcast lullabies, laments, and hymns, creating a cathartic sadness that opens the heart. Minogue has made an album that is not only musically valid but useful as a tool for grieving." CD UNIVERSE
