The Celtic Heartbeat Collection

Various Artists The Celtic Heartbeat Collection (Celtic Heartbeat/ Atlantic) This compilation from Atlantic's new Irish label is an ethereal mix that stresses the dreamy side of the Emerald Isle's music and downplays the rousing diddley-dee stuff. With tracks like Clannad's spooky ''Harry's Game'' and Frances Black's quivering ''All the Lies That You Told Me,'' this amounts to a soothing New Age collection with plenty of meat on its bones.
