5.0 out of 5 stars Sets the tone for a great band, 2 Oct 2006
By Mr. P. E. A. Mcarthur "PyroTyger" (Grimsby, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Iona have done a lot in the time they've been around, kicking out great albums and respectable solo careers for a band that nobody in the main-stream seems to have heard.
This particular album set the scene for that success, and it still gives me chills. Sometimes driven by the uniquely textured orchestral arrangements of Troy Donockley, sometimes by the clear melodies of Jo Hogg, sometimes weaving the two together wonderfully, this is an exceptional work for such a young group.
Many of Iona's enduring classics are on here, along with many that you may not have heard but which are definitely worth a listen. Not only is each song beautiful, soulful, sometimes haunting, but the whole album is wonderfully composed and leads you through its changing pace and mood effortlessly as each song perfectly complements the one that went before. If you want something to put on in the background to lull you to sleep, or you want something that you can really listen to and absorb, you will definitely find what you're looking for here.
It isn't perfect - there are occasions where the singing seems forced as though trying to cater to traditional styles, or where some experimental synthetic qualities to the arrangements become apparent, but these are few and far between and are more than compensated for by the passion and talent that has gone into each song. All in all this is a masterful modern celtic classic, and will doubtless become your secret treasure to hide on your shelf the moment you've heard it through.
