Album Description
Available in:
"Man Of Aran" is a soundtrack album from Brighton-based English indie rock band British Sea Power. It was released on 18 May 2009 in the UK on the Rough Trade label. The CD album was released with an accompanying DVD of the 1934 film Man of Aran, to which the album serves as a score.
User Album Review
Having grazed mainstream success with the Mercury nominated, top ten album Do You Like Rock Music?, many might expect British Sea Power to capitalise with another record of rousing indie anthems. But those who have followed their awkward, obstinate career closely won't be shocked by their decision to follow it with an almost entirely instrumental new soundtrack to a 1934 cult quasi-documentary about Irish fishermen. More surprising is how beautifully it works.
The CD of Man Of Aran comes bundled with the reissued DVD documentary of the same name, and it's true that some of this music only works fully when coupled with that film's gloomily melodramatic black and white images of fishermen battling the storm-battered seas off the Isles Of Aran. But much of it is so brooding, mysterious and evocative that it stands perfectly well alone, a testament to the band's musical imagination and assurance.
In a world where most indie shufflers are so desperate to cling to success that they would never risk surprising their audience, British Sea Power are to be cherished for their originality and daring. The strange and beautiful Man Of Aran demonstrates why. --- bbc.co.uk
