"To Find the Missing Part" by Cele De
by Catherine L. Tully
Artist: Cele De Album: "To Find the Missing Part" Year produced: 2006
This young soft rock/Celtic band has an different and fresh sound. The band is made up of five people aged 17 through 20 and the youthful energy and outlook is reflected in their music. Their name choice is particularly interesting, for Cele De hails from Celtic roots--the name of a monastic order, meaning literally "Servants of God."
This is Cele De's third CD, following their 2003 release "Mist on the Mountain" and "Fresh" which was out in 2005. The band describes their style as being a mixture of pop, soft rock, jazz and a touch of bluegrass--all flavored with their Celtic roots. It makes for an interesting mixture. The 10-track CD has a good deal of variety, but not in an "experimental" way, just stylistically. The Celtic definitely does pop through, but isn't the overriding feel to the whole album.
For such a young group, they are surprisingly polished. The music is tight, well-played and interesting. The voices sound young, but are strong and sure of themselves. The addition of the cello on this album gives such richness to the sound, especially on track 6,"Introspectrum," which is an original--and beautiful song.
