a Review by Anna Maria Stjarnell
Barra were formed in the 1980s but due to unfortunate
circumstances their album hasn't been released until
now.
The band's Celtic-tinged, pagan-themed rock is of
its time but still sounds good. The vocalist
Tracey-Anne Sparkes sings beautifully and the band's
other members Alan Wishart, Colin Cumming [portion removed] play with great dexterity.
The lovely singing and good melody of "Gnosis" make it
a standout in every respect. "Green Man" is a powerful
song that must have sounded even better live.
"Seafever" is a melancholy song with
plaintive-sounding guitars and an oddly delivered but
effective vocal.
"Battlescars" is a majestic, tribal-sounding song.[portion removed]
"Silverman" is a hard song with a frantic pace and
soaring vocals. This record is a great find.
