5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite Runrig albums, 25 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Mara has become one of my favourite Runrig albums. It has a spiritual and romantic dimension, different from some of the other albums which have a stronger political slant. The Mighty Atlantic is great, and very well-known. Other songs like Road and the River (simply stunning), The Wedding and The Dancing Floor are just superb. And the album ends with the outstanding Lighthouse, which almost has a gospel-like quality. All this incredible songwriting, with the fantastic music, and of course the voice of Donnie. If you like Runrig, you will love this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a fantastic relaxing album which ends with a bang!, 6 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Mara opens in subtlety with the song 'A day in a boat' and listening you would think you were actually doing just that. The album keeps to the mara theme with the superbly arranged orchestra on the song 'The Mighty Atlantic,' and the traditional Gealic roots with 'Thairis Air a'Ghleann' , (Beyond the valley). The more rock sounding tracks of 'Road and River' and 'Things That Are' add that bit of flare that most albums lack and the record finishes superbly with the final beat of the drum in the lively track 'Lighthouse', a complete contrast to the first note on the album. All in all a superb way to spend money and time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strength to strength, 26 Jan 2004
By C. Comley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After 30 years, Runrig are just getting better and better. Like a good port, gently and slowly aging and all the better for it.

And Mara is my favourite Runrig album, and high amongst my "all time favourities". It's not just a collection of tracks, the whole album is carefully put together and just demands you sit and listen to it from begining to end, with a good single malt, and the phone off the hook.

5.0 out of 5 stars my favourite Runrig album
Mara is my favourite Runrig album, and I own them all. I think what I love most about it is the seascape feel, something that echoes through every single song. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Gaelic meets Prog?
I'm not sure why, but this album doesn't quite work for me the way "Searchlight" or "The Big Wheel" did. Read more
