| Reviews for The Capercaillie Collection 1990-1996 (2000)
Amazon.com
The Capercaillie Collection opens with five videos, and follows them with 15 live tracks from 1992 concerts at the Capital Theatre in Aberdeen and the Nairn Harbourfest. This concert material from Scotland's most successful Celtic folk-rockers was originally issued on VHS as Two Nights of Delirium. Of the videos, "Breisleach" opens the set with gentle atmospherics, leading into the hit singles "Coisch a Ruin" and "Waiting for the Wheel to Turn." "Miracle of Being" is a detour into AOR, while the final video, "Ailein Duinn," is from the film Rob Roy. The concert footage is less polished, more vibrant and rousing. The hits are repeated, while 13 other tracks enthusiastically mix Clannad-style synthesisers and Celtic mist with Scottish folk updated to include some funky bouzouki playing. Topped by Karen Matheson's beautiful vocals, this is must for fans, and thoroughly entertaining for all die-hard folk traditionalists. --Gary S. Dalkin, Amazon.co.uk
Additional features
The box lists Dolby Digital, though given the source material it is hardly surprising that this is in perfectly good, though hardly spectacular stereo. The concert is 4:3 full-screen, while the videos are at about 1.66:1. Minor grain is noticeable, but colors are strong and the images reasonably sharp. The band biography and discography are useful, though the photo gallery could be much more extensive. --Gary S. Dalkin, Amazon.co.uk
Description
From their homeland roots of Argyll in the Highlands of Scotland, Capercaillie have been credited with being the major force in bringing traditional Celtic music to the world stage, and inspiring the great resurgence so evident today. The Capercaillie Collection features the best of the Band on Video, as well as a re-release of the classic in-concert special Two Nights of Delirium.
