5.0 out of 5 stars A superb album, 14 May 2006

By	Don (London) - See all my reviews

This album is entrancing; a beautiful collection of songs. I'd not heard of KP before I heard the last two tracks of this playing over the sound system of the shop that I immediately bought it from, and I agree with the guy who comments that people who don't know anything about 'folk' music would miss this album.

I'm glad I didn't. This is a great album to relax to. Haunting, powerful, meaningful musical poetry.

5.0 out of 5 stars New writing at its glittering best, 18 Jul 2006

By	James Aitken (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a truly amazing album which it is difficult to praise too much. Its not going too far to say that it has restored my faith in the writing of contemporary music in this country.

Karine Polwart combines a number of features which rarely come together so beautifully or effectively. The songs on this album are equally original, thoughtful and tuneful and her lyrics really have something to say. With some other artists sometimes the music will let down the words or vice versa. Here both the music and the poetry are equally fabulous.

How refreshing that the album has avoided the trap common to so many contemporary folk artists - of being sanctimonious and "worthy". On the contrary the songs all have a directness of approach and feel "real".

One song though stands out - "Baleerie Baloo" has a haunting melody and a highly poignant lyric. It stays with you for days after you hear it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful, gentle and beautiful, 26 Jun 2006

By	Nigel Ecclesfield "nigele1" (Cullompton, Devon, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I rarely use superlatives, but this new album from Karine Polwart shows her writing and musical composition incoprporating and developing the strengths that made "Faultlines" such a compelling collection. The recording and production combine musical traditions and instruments to excellent effect, showcasing a range of beautiful tunes and Karine's voice.

This is music that is aware of its world and the range of human experience and yet is never sanctimonious or miserable despite the sad songs. There is something for everyone here.
