Runrig - Once In A Lifetime

(1988) 10 tracks: Dance Called America * Protect and Survive * Chi Mi'n Geamhradh * Rocket To the Moon * Going Home * Cnoc Na Feille * Nightfall On Marsco/'S Tu Mo Leannan * Skye * Loch Lomond * Hearts of Olden Glory.

From lead singer Donnie Munro's powerful voice, to the awe inspiringly poetic lyrics of the MacDonald brothers, the perfect blend of traditional melody here combines with heart-pounding energy of the ultimate Celtic rock concert.

This is no delicate Celtic folksy New Age style. The band have 2 drum sections, electric guitars, electric bagpipe, and electric keyboard.

How a band that can play so loud, and still manage to produce a sound so deeply traditional to their Highland Gaelic roots, is a miracle in itself. And they can compose in Gaelic which is a real treasure.
