Our Take
Album Review: Various Artists - Orkneyin If you ever find yourself longing for the peaceful serenity of the Scottish isles, look no further than Various Artists' latest compilation, "Orkneyin". This album is a love letter to the rugged beauty and unique culture of Orkney, with each track taking you on a sonic journey through rolling hills, ancient ruins, and crashing waves. From the haunting melodies of traditional folk songs to the pulsing rhythms of modern electronic beats, "Orkneyin" offers a diverse and eclectic mix of music that is as enchanting as the island it celebrates. The album showcases a blend of local talent and international artists, all paying homage to the rich heritage of Orkney. Standout tracks include the ethereal "Skara Brae Sunrise" by local duo The Standing Stones, the infectious pop anthem "Gale Force Groove" by London-based DJ Seagull, and the contemplative "Puffin Dance Party" by Icelandic experimental artist Björn Blótsson. Each song is a unique and captivating interpretation of Orkney's soul-stirring landscapes. So if you're in need of a musical escape to a place where time moves a little slower and the air smells of salt and heather, "Orkneyin" is the perfect soundtrack for your journey. Let Various Artists be your guide as you immerse yourself in the mesmerizing sounds of Orkney. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
