1994 found the band working with Soul II Soul member Will Mowat after they heard his work with African diva Angelique Kidjo. This album produced a unique blend of African rhythms and Celtic music, making it the original Afro-Celt recording. This album includes the extraordinary 10 minute 'widescreen' version of Briesleach and Alistair Mhic, a pulsating version of a Gaelic walking song the band originally recorded in 1988.

"Capercaillie's vibey music has been tweaked and cajoled into even more entrancing places. Karen Matheson's vocals are the coolest - swirling and slamming - amazingly dynamic... Capercaillie are cutting their own groove with ingenuity and aplomb - mixing the traditional with the futuristic in a commendably funky way"
NME

"A potent Highland stimulant, mixing sophisticated accompaniments, good original songs and Karen Matheson's enthralling singing"
The Daily Telegraph
