I didn't understand what 'Songs From Albion' was on about first time around and I'm blowed if I know what's going on this time out either. (Actually old chap, it's tied in with a Stephen Lawhead novel of the same name. Editor) Combinations of Celtic flavours and atmospheric feel, rather like watching a nature video of birds flying over islands. The Scottish isles, showing boats being rowed out. "Silver Hand" is just such a feeling. Then there's the expertly played panpipes on "Nemeton" and the medieval feel of "Flight Of The Ravens" (I mentioned the birds before didn't I?) Good music for thinking to when you're in the car, but then there's a lot of music like this.
