Formerly of Clannad, Maire Brennan has vocals that are instantly recognisable and can lift any tune from the depths of mediocrity. There is some good material here. My favourite is ‘Perfect Time’: It could almost be a Clannad track with its layered vocal arrangement and lilting rhythm. Recommended as easy listening.
Stand-Out Track: Perfect Time
Originally scheduled (and somehow deleted) for 31st May!
A folk tour de force with clear influences from Clannad (and the presence of Maire Brennan to reinforce this) and the crystal-clear vocals of Joanne Hogg. It is a Celtic Christian prog rock album, with monster tracks like ‘Encircling’ (clocking in at nearly 12 minutes) as well as reliable standards (When I survey). Lindisfarne is a great track, but I’m going for ‘Everything Changes’ which is enigmatic, mysterious and beautifully haunting.
