Format:Audio CD
This album is beautifully produced, and the musicianship is excellent throughout, not surprising considering the assocation with the legendary Capercaillie. However, this album isn't quite sure what it wants to be - the mix of musical styles leaves you unsure of what is going on here. Some tracks (e.g. Las Temporadas) are definitely coming from the "world music" scene typified by Peter Gabriel's "Passion", the Afro Celt sound system etc. Other tracks such as Millennium Girl would be best described as "acid country", country music, but not as we know it. "New Sardinia" owes an obvious debt to Capercaillie. "Ambient beach" is restful and calm.
This album is definitely on the "experimental" side of things - if you liked the fusion of dance music and celtic roots music on the album "Capercaillie" then you'll know where they're going with this. If you preferred the traditional, acoustic Celtic music then this probably isn't for you.
If they can produce more tracks like Las Temporadas on future albums, then Big Sky are well set to break into the market currently dominated by the Afro Celt sound system. Overall verdict: good attempt for a first album, a bit "experimental". Future offerings need to be a bit more focussed.

This album will lift your spirits and make you glad to be alive on even the dullest day. It's a truly joyous collection which your friends will thank you for introducing them to (does that make sense? You know what I mean)
If your earliest memories are of folk-ish music but you also love a good helping of bass with your melodies then you simply must add this to your collection.
Something for the weekend? Yes, and all the other days of the week too. Glorious!
