Celtic music

MadassAlex:
Evening, QC.

I've been interested in celtic music for some time now, but I've never really been able to find a good lead into the genre. This has become especially pressing since I just started playing violin, and I want to work the celtic style into the most basic way I play the instrument as I learn.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some more, uh, "powerful" celtic music? I was pointed to a bit of The Chieftains, but was left disappointed with the vocal emphasis and how the other instruments seldom made powerful statements of their own. I suppose I'm looking for melodic music in the vein of this.

Let's also use this thread to talk about celtic music in general, if anyone pleases.

Yayniall:
There you go.

JD:
 Loreena McKennitt is the most Celtic musician I can think of at the moment.

Cernunnos:
paging Celtic Geek to this thread. Cetic Geek, This thread.

scarred:
The Celts Rise Again
Green Linnet 20th Anniversary Collection

Two of the best Celtic compilations, IMHO.
