The CD & DVD (included) are perfect companions for one another.
Both the film and soundtrack convey an awesome sense of power and fluidity, that is moving, and occasionally breathtaking.
A must for BSP fans and film buffs.

Wondrous, magical and breathtaking, these are the only words that can describe this brilliant combination of music and film. British Sea Power have really cemented themselves as most unique and brilliant band of their generation in my eyes with this 'Man Of Aran' LP. The film itself nearly brought a tear to my eye with the breathtaking shots of rugged islands, beaches and island inhabitants living their simple yet hard lives. This must have been some feat to be shot in 1934 and is amazing to say the least. The music goes from beautiful melodies to post punk rock and always fits perfectly with the film. The scene where the islanders are killing the Basking Shark with Joy Division type rock was strange put perfectly put together. I can compliment this enough it is a truly wondrous achievement.

It's hard to imagine a band more suited to this type of effort than BSP. It's not 'standard' BSP fare (How could it be?! It's an essentially instrumental soundtrack to a faked documentary) but it's still recognisably and delightfully BSP.
The CD on its own makes sense and the DVD of 'Man of Aran' on yer big telly and home cinema sound system turned up to 11 is something else again. Or you might enjoy it for the sounds of the sea.

great stuff
I saw them perform this live in Edinburgh around a year ago as part of the film festival and it was great. Really worth having if you're a BSP fan.
