专辑介绍
by Rick Anderson
Capercaillie is a Scottish band steeped in the folk tradition but unafraid of synthesizers, drums and dance beats. Try to imagine the Afro-Scottish fusion of Mouth Music crossed with the new age leanings of Clannad, and you'll have a good idea of what to expect -- lush, pretty settings of stark Celtic melodies with English and Scots Gaelic lyrics delivered by an athletic but restrained female singer. It's a winning combination, and there's hardly a misstep on this fine album. Sure, the evil-landowner figure in &Four Stone Walls& is drawn a bit broadly, and the lyrics to &Grace and Pride& are a bit maudlin (what does it mean for honesty to &flow by one's side&?), but these minor flaws are more than compensated for by such stirring moments as &Seice Ruairidh& and &Hi Rim Bo,& two pieces of traditional puirt-a-beuil (&mouth music&) which were never meant to be accompanied at all but which benefit greatly from the bouncy synth-funk treatment they get here. And &Crime of Passion& is a heart-rendingly lovely ballad which avoids the sappy pitfalls of &Grace and Pride.& Singer Karen Matheson has a wonderful voice that will remind Celtic pop fans of Mary Black; the rest of the band does a fine job blending traditional instruments with electronic ones to bring out the best qualities of both.
