Runrig: Access All Areas-Fan Club Only
Hello Riggies..This is going to be my last upload of anything Runrig related. I just wanted to let you know that this collection of Access All Areas isnt complete. I am missing Vol 8 and 12, but, Besides that this is an amazing selection for any Riggie that hasnt got them. I hope you enjoy the easy listening. DjGHOSTFACE.
Formed in 1973, Runrig is 6-piece folk rock group from Scotland. Originally formed by brothers Rory and Calum Macdonald, Runrig has gone through many line-up changes over its long history. As of 2018, Runrig has released 14 studio Albums, in addition to many compilations and live albums.
These CD's transmits the live energy that Runrig are known for and only made the current withdrawal from live shows even harder to bear. It presents wonderful live versions of old and new tracks, and especially lets some of the older tracks shine in a new light.
But most of all these CD's made me realize something else. Over the years I have learned that music is a matter of taste. Someone can explain to you why something is great, can rave about technique, about creativity about talent, but if a style of music doesn’t grab you, no amount of explaining is going to change that. If you don’t like something you don’t.
But even if a style of music agrees with you, you might like the music, you might enjoy it, but what is a rare gift is music that touches your heart and soul. Music that makes you cry for no reason. Music that will bring a smile onto your face no matter how miserable you feel. Sometimes music has this special spark, this special magic. And either you feel this spark, or you don’t. It is not predictable, it is not measurable, it makes no rational sense and you can’t really explain it to someone who doesn’t feel it. But if you find this kind of music that ignites this magic spark in you it is something to be treasured and it will most likely stay with you for the rest of your life.
