a re-working of "Smeceno Horo" (meaning "broken dance") which Irvine first recorded with Planxty on After The Break. It is introduced slowly by Ó Súilleabháinin (piano), then various combinations of instruments from the whole band proceed with playing the entire piece, which begins in time ( + ) and , then continues in two different rhythms. Reception and influence The album was released to critical acclaim. Richard Foss of AllMusic retrospectively wrote that "though many Celtic musicians have been interested by the exotic rhythms of Bulgarian and Macedonian music, this CD is one of the only instances in which the fusion sounds both natural and exciting," and he "highly recommended" the album. Ken Hyder's favourable review in the September 1992 issue of Hi-Fi News and Record Review said that "Davy Spillane's fans will love it; as will all those who fondly remember Andy Irvine's work with Planxty. A musical adventure which succeeds brilliantly." This project would have a profound influence on the future genesis of the highly successful Riverdance: Track listing "Chetvorno Horo" – 3:48 "The Bear's Rock" – 3:31 "Dance of Suleiman" – 5:30 "Illyrian Dawn" – 3:25 "Pride of Macedonia" – 3:17 "Antice" – 5:42 "Two Steps to the Bar" – 4:07 "Kadana" – 5:42 "Hard on the Heels" – 5:53 Personnel Andy Irvine – bouzouki, hurdy-gurdy Davy Spillane – uilleann pipes, low whistle Nikola Parov – gadulka, kaval, gaida, bouzouki Bill Whelan – keyboards, piano Anthony Drennan – guitar Tony Molloy – bass Paul Moran – percussion Noel Eccles – percussion Máirtín O'Connor – accordion Carl Garaghty – saxophone Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin – piano Márta Sebestyén – vocals Rita Connolly – backing vocals Produced by Bill Whelan Executive producer – Andy Irvine Recorded at Westland Studios, Dublin Engineered by Philip Begley References Record Label Catalogue 2010 Album Sleevenotes 1992 albums Andy Irvine (musician) albums Davy Spillane albums World music albums Celtic fusion albums
