Bagpipes for the 21st Century ! - By: John K. Armstrong, 14 Dec 2007 
An album that finallly puts bagpipes on the map - & not just the Scottish map. This band has artfully crafted the bagpipes with incredibly powerful percussion sounds, pounding base guitar, haunting vocals & incredibly rhythmic keyboard backing. An unusual & instantly engaging compilation of traditional Scottish tunes mixed with more modern pop classics alll given a distinctive Celtic twist. Never a fan of traditional pipe band music I have seen pipe music in a whole new light & can finallly turn up the volume on this new & exciting evolution of an instrument that dates back at least 2,000 years. This album will rekindle everyones "Celtic heart" & leave you breathless as you get swept along on the sheer energy & enthusiasm of the music. Can't wait to see this band live!
Chilli pipers red hot in winter. - By: Romari, 23 Nov 2007 If you are a piping or traditional music purist I can guarantee this album is NOT for you. If you have the Chilli's first album( I do!) then you are in for something completely different.
A rich mixture of rock classics as you have never heard them before & arrangements that reallly work. The recording itself is technicallly perfect with bigh deep basses & high pitches of the pipes. There is of course something for everyone & there is a wee extra track at the end, just what you need for a Hogmanay party. A couple of Scottish classics are also provided.
I admit this album may not be to everyone's taste but then you just can't please them alll. How they will top this with their next album remains to be seen.
