Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ever since the discovery of the synthesizer, artists have found ways to integrate it and abuse it. Folk music has always been one of its victims, from the watery chanting of Enya to a dozen worldly wannabes. Capercaillie fell prey to the synthesizer's allure as well, but surprise of surprises: they seem to actually know how to use the thing. They are a solid band with good acoustic pedigree, and even though this is definitely pop music from Celtic lands, it is distinctly local, from its mouth music to its reels and jigs. Manus Lunny is a wizard on the guitars and bouzouki, Marc Duff's whistles are a key sound to the group (even as the wind synths try to drown them out), and Charlie McKerron's fiddle shines. Karen Matheson can rescue even the most maudlin ballads with her fragile strength. 1991's Delirium was the stepping stone to even more lush experiments, but it is still well-rooted in the past, so both Celti-pop fans and semi- traditionalists will find music to love on the record. Only the real purists should beware! --Louis Gibson

5.0 out of 5 stars Delirious, 23 Jan 2003
Beautiful: there is nothing else to say really. I love every song on this album. It is perfect early morning chilled uplifting music and ideal late at night to relax and listen to. You will rise again is one of their best songs from all their albums, but I particularly like Heart of the Highland and Breisleach. Great songs, a beautiful voice and backing instruments what more could you want.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly relaxing and musical., 25 Jan 2000
Absolutely magical from start to finish, you are drawn further into the music every time you listen. The fact that most of the album is sung in gaelic isn't really a problem at all, it's so beautiful to listen to. Karen Matheson's voice has to be on of the best I've ever heard, and the instrumentals are so complex, you don't really realise how much music there is until you've heard the album over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delirium. Breathtaking and wonderful album., 22 Jul 2006
By film fan (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Albums don't get much chilled than this. If it's chilled out moments you want then stick this into your cd player and let yourself relax and drift away. The songs on this amazing and brilliant album are all first class and I would be a fool to say that I had one favourite.

Karen Matheson's vocals are very impressive and relaxing to listen to. It's almost like she has a voice of a nightingale. It's wonderful to listen to. On every track, her vocals leave the listener wanting more. A shame then that there are only 13 tracks on this. I have a couple of favourites on this album but the one that stands out for me is 'Servant to the Slave'. I don't know what it is about it but it leaves me in wonder and awe.

I own 7 albums by this superb group and I think that this one is pure genius. Purely because of its style and execution and also cause it's beautifully put together. An album to cherish definitely.
