Looking for remixed (?) Shanties


Recommended Posts

"techno/tribal/dance/trance"

So far as I know, this phrase doesn't really describe sea shanties.

You might check out some of the other threads about Punk and Metal bands with nautical themes. That's about the closest I think you're going to come, though I stand willing to be corrected.

I've heard a modernized version of 'Beggar Man' as a bonus track on an album. Unfortunately, I can't recall it right now, but I think it was by Great Big Sea (though don't quote me on that).

Coastie :D

Aye, Coastie... Great Big Sea it be, and the album be "Rant and Roar"

GBS has a few updated shanties, although I wouldn't put them in the techno/trance/tribal genre... more like easy listening or even pop. It's brilliant stuff tho... me Mp3 player be overflowin with the Sea, as it were.

Gaelic Storm has done a few shanty remakes as well, and their sound is maybe a little more tribal, but still very irish-folksy.

NOAH: Wow... the whole world flooded in just less than a month, and us the only survivors! Hey... is that another... do you see another boat out there? Wait a minute... is that a... that's... are you seeing a skull and crossbones on that flag?
