Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Dagda, the group name assumed by keyboardist-producers Reg Keating and Phillip O'Reilly, likes to associate itself with the Celtic, mystic, and trance scenes, yet discerning ears will more likely align its lightly grooved, instrumental-female vocal mix with the easy-listening wing of New Age. In fact, Keating and O'Reilly may have taken it a little too easy on this, their fourth collaboration. The group's picture-painting instrumental work never seems to break the gravitational pull exerted by the thin, storybooklike theme conveyed in eight (out of 11) softly cooed vocal selections. Stronger musical ideas are at work on Celtic Trance and Underworld, Dagda's preceding discs. Still, with its minimized grooves and subdued Celtic textures (Uilleann pipes and whistles pop up only sporadically), Sleeping with the Gods of Love may work for listeners in search of a dreamy, innocuous, and low-key audio backdrop to candlelit evenings. --Terry Wood Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Easy listening, NOT ambientTrite lyrics, cloying vocals and uninspired arrangements surf for a lowest common denominator. The result is saccharin, at best. Too upfront to be ambient but too unengaged to be trance, this is Celt-influenced easy listening music. Rating:  - Tranquil and engaging melodiesI was drawn by the name Phillip O'Reilly and have now purchased the other available Dagda titles. My only complaint is the paper packaging may have contributed to poor retail sales (I can't find Dagda in stores). This CD certainly has wonderful music that deserves more audience. My rating of 4 means I like the album, still listen to it and recommend a purchase. Rating:  - Never Falls Down!Once again the Celtic miracle produced a magical and wondrous work of art. "Sleeping With The Gods Of Love", continues their unique blend of Celtic and trance music. Dagda are Reg Keating providing all the words and music for "Sleeping With The Gods Of Love" and Phillip O'Reilly on keyboards and programming. The two musicians are joined by Martin Rolan on Uilleann pipes and whistles and the main vocals are by Aisling O'Neill. Una Ni Baoghaill also provides additional vocals on the "Delilah" track. The whole CD can be summed up in Reg Keating's haunting introduction vocal: "Do not search for him in fields of clay His spirit hasn't changed now that he's free of mortal coil and temporal earthly bonds Read More: Rating: - VERY ROMANTICDAGDA REALLY CAME THROUGH ON THIS ONE.IF YA WANT A ROMANTIC EVENING,DAY,OR MORNING THIS CD WILL ENHANCE IT.LET THE SOOTHING SOUNDS AND SWEET HEAVENLY SINGING TAKE YOU OVER.FOR DANCING THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST.IT IS REALLY EASY TO GET INTO THE FLOW OF THE MUSIC.MORE THAN ONCE TAMMY AND I FOUND OURSELF DANCING FROM DUSK TO DAWN ON JUST THIS CD.THE MUSIC IS ALSO VERY GOOD FOR A CANDLELIGHT DINNER.AND HERE AGAIN LET THE MUSIC TAKE YOU OVER WHILE WATCHING AND THINKING OF THE PERSON SITTING ACROSS FROM YOU IT IS VERY ROMANTIC.THANKS DAGDA. Rating: - MYSTICAL & DREAMY--FULL OF LONGING & SINCERITYSLEEPING WITH THE GODS OF LOVE is a cd that I will never part with; it's staying with me for life! How many cd's can you say that about? I know I haven't said it about many. Five stars doesn't do it justice. How the songs flow together from start to finish as well as the balance of lyrical melodies spaced with instrumentals is brilliantly compelling. It pulls the listener into it. I Love music that does this to me! You can lean back and float while this is on. It's great for meditation, relaxing, yoga, tai chi, studying, writing--ANYTHING! PROLOG sets a perfect mood--reaches out and demands your attention right away. I wish all artists knew how important the first song on a cd is! Fifty-six seconds well spent! ANTHEM OF THE ...
