Bagpipes for the 21st Century !
An album that finally puts bagpipes on the map - and not just the Scottish map. This band has artfully crafted the bagpipes with incredibly powerful percussion sounds, pounding base guitar, haunting vocals and incredibly rhythmic keyboard backing. An unusual and instantly engaging compilation of traditional Scottish tunes mixed with more modern pop classics all given a distinctive Celtic twist. Never a fan of traditional pipe band music I have seen pipe music in a whole new light and can finally turn up the volume on this new and exciting evolution of an instrument that dates back at least 2,000 years. This album will rekindle everyones "Celtic heart" and leave you breathless as you get swept along on the sheer energy and enthusiasm of the music. Can't wait to see this band live!

Chilli pipers red hot in winter.
If you are a piping or traditional music purist I can guarantee this album is NOT for you. If you have the Chilli's first album( I do!) then you are in for something completely different.
A rich mixture of rock classics as you have never heard them before and arrangements that really work. The recording itself is technically perfect with bigh deep basses and high pitches of the pipes. There is of course something for everyone and there is a wee extra track at the end, just what you need for a Hogmanay party. A couple of Scottish classics are also provided.
I admit this album may not be to everyone's taste but then you just can't please them all. How they will top this with their next album remains to be seen.
