kossaiwhile poke around music searches to load up radio sideblog with some more posts , stumble across topic channel which use name of áine ní dhubhghaill , and various covers of traditional and folk music with album covers that just seem weird . not weird as in artistically weird but weird as in , throw up red flags that this is probably not actually under authority of áine ní dhubhghaill .
indeed , investigate one of these videos and recognise this specific version of song - search through library and yep , áine ní dhubhghaill for 1997 compilation album , maidens of the celtic harp . but even weirder is that this channel reupload these same tracks again , and again , and again , each one with different album cover that have titles like chilled azz and relaxation with nature under several different volume numbers .
video descriptions link back to " planet blue records " , though seem to now be taken down from some music storefronts , can still find on places like youtube and deezer . these videos go back into 2020 , which make some sort of sense - before boom of generative AI music tools , anyway , so would need legitimate thievery . these tracks have very little different from original versions , just add nature ambience tracks and slightly obscure original track length .
but things get even weirder as go further back into channel history , as also link back to album from soundecor in 2003 , while description label with release in 2008 . now these seem to be legitimate CDs , can find secondhand listings at least , and this seem to be origin of nature ambience additions . however , that do not answer for planet blue records , especially since some storefronts remove . is this some offshoot company that maintain rights to distribute ? is this actual thievery , lumped in under this one topic channel as technically still attribute to correct artist ? will never really know . youtube is weird .
