Product Description

Product Description

The word Altan means a "stream", but "raging river" might better describe the career of this band. Harvest Storm was a watershed album, offering a solid mix of forward-looking idealism while holding fast to tradition. It earned the group numerous awards, and paired with Island Angel, may be the best work they'll ever produce. They pay close attention to their Northern roots here. Songs like the title track and "Pretty Peg" attain high energy while the closing track, "Dobbin's Flowery Vale", remembers the power of the sad, subtle ballad. There's no lack of history to their vision, and no lack of interest in the new sounds of Celtic music, but Altan was still staying above the coming tide of synthesised swoosh that defines Celtic music in the 1990s. --Louis Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars My Most Played Album Ever, 2 May 2001
By A Customer
I have had 3 copies of this album now, and I'm about to buy another one! I gave the first 2 away, and lost my last one - and still keep coming back for more! The album is fantastic. Unlike most albums (even the best ones), there isn't a single track on it that I would prefer wasn't there. There is a wonderful mix of tempos, the raucous opening tunes, the haunting Mo Choill, the quirky and humourous Si Do Mhaimeo and the beautiful ethereal Dobbin's Flowery Vale (my favourite). I have all the Altan albums, and to my mind this is the best - it is certainly my favourite. I'd be very surprised if everyone couldn't find something on here to enjoy, and I defy anyone to keep their feet still when the old favourites Drowsy Maggie and Rakish Paddy are given the treatment! All I can say is I wouldn't be without this beside my CD player!
