Runrig...Heartland(1985)[FLAC]

1985 Heartland CD Ridge RRCD005 Heartland is the fourth album by Celtic rock band Runrig. It was released in 1985, and was their first output in which English songs exceeded the number of Gaelic ones. "O Cho Meallt" (Much Deception) - 3:04 "This Darkest Winter" - 4:29 "Lifeline" - 4:09 "Air a' Chuan" (On the Open Seas) - 5:09 "Dance Called America" - 4:33 "The Everlasting Gun" - 4:26 "Skye" - 3:31 "Cnoc na Fèille" (The Hill at the Market Stance) - 4:40 "The Wire" - 5:28 "An Ataireachd Àrd" (The High Surge) - 4:30 "The Ferry" - 4:12 "Tuireadh Iain Ruaidh" (Lament for Red John) - 2:42 Although many regard the The Cutter & The Clan as representing Runrig at the height of their powers, my own feeling is that this album steals that spot. This was their crossover album from Gaelic to mainstream. It retains the Gaelic feel of the earlier albums but has none of the commercial element that tended to dog _The Cutter and the Clan_and later albums. As a crossover album it has the feel of a debut album and as such retains the youth and energy that many debut albums have. There are several standout tracks, "Dance Called America", "Everlasting Gun", "This Darkest Winter" and the excellent "Skye". cd rippped by dBpoweramp please seed
