Dagda is an Irish duo comprising songwriter/producer Reg Keating and programmer/producer Phillip O'Reilly. They began working together at Owl studio in Dublin, Ireland during 1997 and quickly established a good musical partnership. Phillip plays keyboard and guitar while Reg plays keyboards and a selection of Irish flutes and whistles. For most of their productions, they engage additional top session musicians and vocalists to give them the exact sounds they are looking for. Dagda is an ancient Irish name for the chief of the Celtic gods (Celtic God of the Earth)..
"Sleeping with the Gods of Love" reflects a mystic spiritualism that threads as a link through all the great cultures of the earth. Unlike previous Dagda albums which have had roots in Celtic mythology, this album takes a global theme. It is presented as a view from outer space giving scope to explore new age sounds with a space age feel. The Celtic influence is still there but this time with hints of a rock undercurrent…owlrecords.com; All Music Guide
"Do not search for him in fields the clay
His spirit hasn't changed -
now that it's free of mortal coil and temporal earthly bonds
Look up and see his light among the stars
When you don't hear his voice upon the breeze
Nor taste his tears in gently falling rain
That's when he rests above the universe
Celestial - sleeping with the Gods of Love"
