Spirit of the Glen: A Review

[wgority]

I received a copy a few days ago and have found nothing particularly special about it. All the tunes are fairly standard and, though well played, have no particular flair or polish. Given the standard that bands play at today (see recordings by SFU, FMM, COWPB, SLOT, etc.), this may please the general public with familiar tunes, but will in no way satisfy the true fan of pipe band music.

I have not heard a track all the way through, let alone the whole thing, but from what I've heard it sounds really great.
I am a huge fan of both traditional pipe band recordings such as SFU and St. Laurence and of the military marching and pipe band recordings such as the CDs from the Black Watch and the Welsh Guard and hopefully of this one. We'll just have to wait and see I guess! oop:
