Format:Audio CD
I bought this album after meeting Aly Bain at the launch of a book titled BETWEEN WEATHERS: Travels in 21st Century Shetland, for which he had provided an introduction. It is a thing of incredible beauty, as the islands are, sparse, detailed, filled with colour. Slockit Light, written, I understand, for Aly's old tutor was beautirful. The viola realisation of the hymn Spread Thy Wide Wings absolutely silenced me.

This pair's first album together, Fully Rigged, was an instant classic. This one, by comparison, seems over-familiar. Anyone who knows Bain's earlier work, and Scottish music generally, will recognise many of these tunes; and, whilst there's nothing wrong with re-visiting them - it's what traditional music is all about, in a sense - it's not the stuff that outstanding albums are made of. Unless the performances are absolutely stunning - which these are not, except perhaps for an excellent version of the old Scott Skinner favourite Hector the Hero. They also helpfully explain what the tune is about, which I never knew before.
It's good, but not wonderful. It's on the short side, too.

I bought this CD mostly out of curiosity, not knowing much about the artists. Turns out to be a quality addition to my collection. I liked the talent, song selection and production standards very much.
