This is the groundbreaking album, produced by Donal Lunny, that took the band from folk clubs into the national spotlight, recently certified Gold, with over 100,000 UK sales. It is now recognised as a classic roots album where the band first created their blend of the modern and traditional that has since become their trademark.
Key tracks include; 'Coisich a Ruin', the first Gaelic Top 40 single, and 'Breisleach', featuring a stunning vocal performance from Karen.
"a delightful shimmering collection of traditional and Gaelic music, given a modern twist and funky undercurrent". (The Times)
"Earthy Celtic funk echoing ancient yet vibrant Gaelic dynamics. In Karen Matheson we have an angel who can stir the emotion of any devil. Their music is cool, modern, slicked back and constantly evolving" (City Life Magazine)
