STORM

My old cassette tape has long since bit the dust. So glad to have this again.

good thank you

Album is a very good set of songs to listen to in the background. One of my issues with acoustic Celtics album is after a while it all starts to sound the same. However this one is different in that it held my attention thru out.

Great album.

Where can I start to review to my mind the greatest contemporary traditional Irish album of all time,Firstly the Lark is 14 minutes long but dont let this put you off,it is the most innovative piece of music your ever likely to hear in an Irish sense,this particular track is made up of 7 different pieces all incorporated into a continious rampage of Uillean pipes(Davy Spillane)Saxaphone(Keith Donald)Bozouki(Donal Lunny)Bass Guitar(Eoin o Neill)Drums and Percussion (Matt Kelligan&Noel Eccles).To say these musicians are the greatest Ireland ever produced is almost an understatement,Titanic track 2 features Keith Donald in particular on fire as he blasts some fine music from his Sax.Track 3 the title track again features similar explosions from each member contributing their own memorable pieces,track4 Tribute to Peadar O Donnell is another 9 minute masterpiece,finally the hauntingly beauitiful May Morning Dew would make any strong man cry,the emotion in Davy Spillanes playing has never been matched by any other piper to my knowledge,all in all this album first recorded back in the late 80s has stood the test of time,and in my opinion is the album which prompted the success of Riverdance,Buy this album cherish it listen without doubt to a collectors item,there likes will not be seen again.

When you listen to an album and as soon as it's finished you just HAVE to listen to again and again and again...it's 5 star material. This music truly touches the heart.

Scottish folk rock that will move your heart.

I bought this originally on Vinyl when it first came out, it is an excellent and really chilled out album, i am delighted to have it on CD, It blends trad Irish with Rock and is sublime musically, overall i am more than Happy.

Merci Jord, pour ce commentaire et cette mine d'informations... Du coup j'ai acheté la plupart des albums, dont The Storm. Je ne suis pas toujours fan des "Live" mais je préfère de loin le (CD + DVD) du Live de Dublin 2007, qui est un vrai bijou. On y retrouve tous les titres de The Storm, en plus accomplis à mon goût - les artistes ont bien vieilli ! -, plus quatre autres morceaux impressionnants. L'enregistrement de la performance sur le DVD est très bien construit aussi. The Storm mérite quand même une bonne place dans la bibliothèque !

Delighted to find a cd of this album which I bought on audio cassette decades ago. A classic!

The CD was as good as expected, it has added a little moore depth to my Irish collection. well done

Moving hearts - The Storm takes me back 15 years to when I first heard it on tape sitting having dinner with friends. It was captivating and I re-discovered it recently when I stumbled over a YouTube video of Moving Hearts playing Finore from the album with Christy Moore playing his haunting low whistle. Magic.
