Recordings by the Knowe O’Deil have appeared in several different formats thanks to the sterling work of Owen Tierney’s Attic Records. This new compilation brings together a selection of songs and tunes from those recordings, now on CD.

The Knowe O’Deil (or the Knowe of Dale) is a burnt mound at Quandale on the island of Rousay. It is the largest Bronze Age burnt mound on Rousay. Usually crescent-shaped and containing a mass of accumulated burnt stones adjacent to a water trough, they were used for a variety of activities such as cooking, and fulling.

Dystopia was my introduction to Talisk when the live version of it was out on youtube. Between the energy and life not just by the music itself, but the people playing it being so engrained into the songs themselves, Talisk has become a foot-stomper, and an absolute jam of a band to put on full volume. ladyoforion
