[edit] Other artists
"Other New Age artists, such as Enigma, incorporate Celtic themes into their music alongside African and Native American influences."
I know quite a bit about Enigma, and I don't think there is any Celtic themes at all in the first place. Is anyone able to list one single Enigma song that seems Celtic? Mike Oldfield I can understand, but Enigma? --Andylkl (talk) 11:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New Age
I wouldn't characterize Afro Celt Sound System as New Age, and it sounds like Enigma might not be thus categorizable either. But then, I doubt the two are similar enough to make a seperate section, and I don't even know what that would be. Is there a better place for Afro Celt here?

I'd also say that while Shooglenifty may use a loop here and there, I really wouldn't class them as electronic at all. The main drive of pretty much every track is the live/instrumental parts and while the loops (when used, which is rarely) add a bit of extra feel you could easily remove them and still have a full sound.

[edit] Celtic Hip Hop, New-Age, World, etc
Perhaps it seems weird to you quoting Alan Stivell in different sub-articles; but if you look closely at his work, you notice that he has actually worked in different fields as Ethnic, Folk-rock, Jazz-rock, Pop-Rock in Breton, New-Age, World, Symphonic, Hip-Hop, etc. as much as the other artists you are speaking of. He is perhaps the only one who has worked in these different fields, as he his the only one to have actually done a Pan-celtic fusion.

This is the closest cleanup template I could find - this article looks informative, but it's written in a colloquial and opinionated music press style. Remember that when putting opinions in an article, you should be able to show that even the opinions are verifiably notable - David Gerard 19:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
