The Morrighan

The Morrighan have aimed themselves firmly at the dancefloor with 'Requiem'. An adaptation of Mozart's classical piece of the same name, they have combined solid four on the floor beats and a pumping bassline, with swept strings and operatic diversions, reminding of Hybrid''s classic 'Finished Symphony'.

Infused with a deep Celtic feeling, yet still with elements of modern danceability, The Morrighan consists of the angelic voice of Cecily Fay and the technological expertise of Jon Crosse. It makes for an effective combination, with Cecily''s habit of backing up her own vocals reminding at times of Tori Amos while a range of compelling beats beef up the sound.
