Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - Spirit Of The Glen Journey


Audio Format.........: MP3
Bitrate..............: 192

In stark contrast to the commercial luxuries often associated with the music industry, Spirit of the Glen: Journey was recorded in a tent in one of the hottest and most dangerous countries in the world. As well as the constant threat of rocket attack, the producer worked to prevent his recording gear overheating in the 50 degree heat. One piper even suffered heat stroke while recording.

After recording, the pipers went back to their crucial military jobs. As Lieutenant Colonel Felix Gedney explained, "It's important for them not to forget that they are not a band for me. They're my tank gunner, my lorry driver, my signals operator. I see them very much as soldiers first."

The pipers and drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards had a huge hit last Christmas when Spirit of the Glen stayed at no 1 in the classical charts for 14 weeks, reached the pop top 20 and outsold acts such as Bon Jovi, 50 Cent and Elton John.

The new album, Spirit of the Glen: Journey, released on December 1st, features Abide With Me, In Flanders Field and Dawning of the Day, all recorded in Basra. In addition, the piper on Flowers of the Forest was recorded at the end of the runway with the hum of Basra audible in the background, over which Jim Naughtie will read the poem For The Fallen. And in a moment that evokes the Oscar-winning score of the film Atonement, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind is sung by men from the regiment in Basra.
