Man Of Aran (Blue)

In 2009 the band, now known as Sea Power, were commissioned by the Edinburgh Film Festival to create their own soundtrack for the 1934 quasi-documentary, which they premiered by playing along live during a screening at the event. A studio version of the album followed in May the same year, while more screening/performances took place at the BFI in London and at cinemas in Brighton and Sheffield, while events were also staged on a series of islands, including Jersey, the Hebrides and a Norwegian islet in the Arctic Circle. Earning the group widespread acclaim upon it's release, both for the music's simpatico relationship with the original film and as a stand-alone work in it's own right. Declared by The Quietus on release as a "perfect symbiosis that should rightly be regarded as something of an understated classic," Ireland's Hot Press called it "Stunning... breath-taking" while NME encouraged listeners to "let it all gloriously wash over you." Fans will finally be able to experience that artistic and emotional depth on vinyl with this reissue.A1. Man Of Aran A2. The South Sound A3. Come Wander With Me B1. Tiger King B2. The Currach B3.
