Man of Aran - British Sea Power

[Rachel]

I shall be very interested in this one. Particularly because I must have watched that film at some point during my childhood. I remember images of a storm, heavy rains and fishermen hauling a huge snapping shark into a boat that didn't seem much larger than the animal itself. I was scared shitless.

I'll have to check if those memories are in fact real of if my childhood imagination and the years since then have blown it out of proportion.

Also, British Sea Power. Fantastic band. Their concert on the tent stage at Haldern Festival 2005 was on of the best shows I've ever seen, completely blew me away. Unfortunately their show at Hurricane 2008 wasn't half as good but fortunately I had internalized half a liter of White Russian, so I didn't mind much (^_^) Ended up with the set list at both shows.

In 2008 the centerpiece of the set was 'The Great Skua', a long, beautiful instrumental piece, I expect the Aran sound track to be similar, looking forward to it.
