THE BOOK OF INVASIONS - A CELTIC SYMPHONY

Yet another album of Horslips in their typical Celtic Folk rock , very enjoyable but too borderline for inclusion on this site. If you are into Irish folklore, then this is a great album to get but if you are looking for folk prog it is relatively low on prog contents. Yes, some numbers are Tull-sounding especially with the use of the flute and this was probably no accident but if that similarity exist , it is not shamefull either . Arguably in favor of Horslips Tull's folkiest albums Songs From the Woods and Heavy Horses came at a later day than most of Horslips's output but Tull was Folk-rock before Horslips even existed . Possibly one of their more interesting work for a proghead because of the conceptual nature of the album (The Táin was also one).

This album also comes with a totally black cover with white title.
