• Track Listing

On RISE ABOVE (2002), savagely pruned in the course of recording to it's leanest, meanest form, the intensity and grandeur of traditional tracks such as Blackwaterside and Bright Morning Star were a significant extension of the band's aesthetic range. During the sessions they also picked up Irish piper James O'Grady, who played on five of the tracks, as a temporary addition to the line-up; and that diversified and enriched the band's live sound for a couple of years.
